What it is about
You model, simulate and optimize optical components and complete single-channel as well as WDM communication systems with commercial photonic design software. In the end you will be able to build systems with both intensity modulation/direct detection and coherent QAM systems, evaluate effects of fibers and amplifiers, and specifically improve the link construction.
What you will be able to do
- Create models of optical components
- Simulate optical systems (single-channel and WDM)
- Optimize system parameters
- Correctly interpret simulation results
What the module consists of
- Praktikum/LaborConducting guided simulations and experiments with the Photonic Design Software
- Self-study (lab manual)Preparation for the lab sessions and instructions for using the software
Teaching method
- LabormanualGuide to software operation and to the individual lab experiments; serves as preparation
- Guided lab sessions with tutorsStudents create and run their own simulations; tutors assist with questions
