Hands on Training on Fiber Optics: Fundamentals & Principles
Entry Requirement: Basic understanding of communications and data networks is desirable, but not essential
Date: 10 to 14 September (1 week)
Venue: Department of Telecommunication Engineering, Mehran UET, Pakistan
Who should attend?
This course is intended for those in technology-based roles like product line management, system design, system testing, systems engineering, network engineering, and research and development. Previous knowledge of optical networks is not required.
Course fee: (with lunch, high tea, handouts and certificates).
PKR 3000 For Mehranian
PKR 6000 for Others
About the training:
The training/workshop begins with the history of fiber optics followed by sections describing the fiber optic networks. Fiber optics system cannot work without fiber cables. In this course you learn about cables, the key features of optical fiber, which make them suited for long-distance, high-speed communication, and how physical effects inside optical fiber can limit communication speeds and distances. You also learn about the operating principles of fiber-optic systems, what the system components are such as lasers, detectors, amplifiers, multiplexers and demultiplexers, plus learn how they are used. In addition, you learn how to identify the capabilities, limitations and the evolution of first generation optical networks.
