Course Title:
Opto-electronics and Fiber Optics
Course Description:
Covers the fundamentals of the opto-electronic elements that interconnect to create a fiber-optic system for communication and sensing. Discusses the structure of single and multimode fibers, step and graded index fibers, modal theory of fiber propagation, ray theory of multimode fibers, fiber parameters, numerical aperture, Etendue, modal cutoff, couple mode theory, semiconductor physics, diode lasers and LED sources, photovoltaic and photoconductive detectors, coupling sources and detectors to optical fibers, noise in fiber-optic systems, active and passive components, modulators and couplers, fiber interferometry, and applications in communication and sensing.
