Overview
Key facts
University College London (UCL)'s Optical Transmission Networks course covers all types of photonic networks, from access and metro to wide-area networks; next-generation optical modulation formats and transceivers; optical signal transmission impairments and mitigation, and optical multiplexing methods, e.g. wavelength division multiplexing, and optical and electronic network switching technologies.
Programme Structure
- During the course you'll look at the description of optical networks as a set of optical links, including the principle of wavelength routing on different time-scales (static and dynamic). This part of the course also includes optical interconnects.
- On optical transmission the focus is on the elements of analysis and design of point-to-point optically amplified transmission systems as well as access applications. This covers in-depth understanding of optical transmission system design, optical amplifiers and amplified systems and the operation of wavelength division multiplexed systems.
- We'll analyse both linear and nonlinear sources of transmission impairments and their accumulation with distance and interaction with dispersion.
- The choice of modulation formats, fibre dispersion and electronic processing techniques are discussed with the aim of maximising the spectral efficiency, channel capacity and operating system margins.

Student insurance
Make sure to cover your health, travel, and stay while studying abroad. Even global coverages can miss important items, so make sure your student insurance ticks all the following:
- Additional medical costs (i.e. dental)
- Repatriation, if something happens to you or your family
- Liability
- Home contents and baggage
- Accidents
- Legal aid
