    Condition Basic knowledge of the operating principles of semiconductor optical transmitters and receivers, as well as optical fibers (Optical Telecommunications), is recommended.
    The goal Introducing students to the components, systems, and signal processing techniques in the optical domain. Gaining knowledge in the areas of transmission, switching, nonlinear processing, filtering, multiplexing of optical signals, and the implementation of chip-to-chip communication links, arithmetic-logical operations, memory blocks, and optical neural networks.
    The outcome Understanding the principles of operation of components and systems required for the realization of digital and analog optical computing systems and optical neural networks.
