The aim of this course is to acquaint students with horizontal, vertical and indoor optical communication systems, various components and their specific use. Students will learn how to design optical fiber and wireless links. The training includes introduction to optical solitons in optical communication, optical amplifiers, optical fibers and wavelength division multiplex (WDM). The future of optical communications will be also discussed.

Evaluation of activities is specified by a regulation, which is issued by the lecturer responsible for the course annually.
