    Condition Basic knowledge of light propagation (Physics 2) and the operating principles of semiconductor diodes (Fundamentals of Physical Electronics) is recommended.
    The goal Introducing the students to the components, systems and techniques of signal transmission in modern optical communication. Acquainting with the propagation of electromagnetic waves in optical fibers, dispersion theory and signal attenuation in the fiber, the theory of optical sources, amplifiers and receivers. Mastering engineering skills of designing the optical links.
    The outcome Introducing students to the components, systems, and techniques of signal transmission in modern optical communication. This includes understanding the propagation of electromagnetic waves in optical fibers, dispersion theory, signal attenuation, and the principles of optical sources, amplifiers, and receivers. Students will also develop engineering skills necessary for designing optical links.
