• Analyse and model a problem by critically selecting theories and methodological approaches (modelling, calculations), and taking into account multidisciplinary aspects.
• Identify and discuss possible applications of new and emerging technologies in the field of electrical engineering.
• Assess the validity of models and results in view of the state of science and characteristics of the problem.

Learning Outcomes of UE

The objective is to provide additional material to the "Télécommunications optiques" (BAB3) course in the domains of polarization, scattering, dispersion and nonlinear effects in optical fibers, optical modulation, optical amplification, coherent detection, dispersion-induced bitrate limitations, power budget and channel multiplexing. 

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

Introduction and general concepts; attenuation, dispersion, polalization effects, scattering effects, nonlinear effects, optical modulators (generalities, electro-optic modulators, electroabsorption modulators and acousto-optic modulators), optical amplification (basic concepts, saturation and noise effects, erbium-doped fibre amplifier, Raman optical fibre amblifier); coherent detection (digital modulation format, coherent detection schemes, demodulation schemes, signal degradation and solutions); system design (bitrate versus dispersion, power budget, BER curves, sources of power penalty); channel multiplexing (TDM, PDM, WDM and OFDM).
