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
Course include:
- 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.
