Language of instruction: | En |
Type of course: | Departmental Elective |
Course Level: | Bachelor |
Mode of Delivery: | Face to face |
Course Coordinator : | Prof. Dr. SARPER ÖZHARAR |
Course Objectives: | To enable students to have more in-depth knowledge in photonics by building upon the knowledge gained on EEE 4611 Optical Communications and COP 4441 Optical Networking. This course will examine the "why?" answers to relevant questions, rather than the "what?" and "how?" answers which were considered before. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; - To analyze the nature of light - To be introduced to some relevant quantum mechanical concepts and review elements of solid state physics - To analyze modulation of light - To describe laser and photodetector operation - To analyze optical fibers, couplers and connectors - To describe fundamentals of noise and detection - To examine the difference between various optical communication systems - To be introduced to optical fiber sensors |
- Review of light - Review of semiconductor physics - Optical modulation - Luminescence - Lasers and light emitting diodes - Photodetectors - Fiber optical waveguides and associated components - Optical communication systems - Optical fiber sensors |
