Overview

Innovative topics in technologies, multiplexing methods, protocols and standards of fiber networks are discussed in this course. Students taking this course will be aware of all details about new multiplexing techniques and novel standard architectures of the state-of-the-art distribution high-speed networks.

Topics covered in this course include: introduction to fiber networks; basic multiplexing techniques; advanced multiplexing technique :(wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM)); standard optical distribution networks architectures: Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) standards, Synchronous Optical Network standard (SONET), Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) and Gigabit Passive optical Networks (GPON); fiber networks and multimedia; optical internetworking
