OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE

Light has always been with us. Communications using light occurred early in our development. The birth of optical fiber communication coincided with the fabrication of low loss optical fibers. Ever since, the scientific and technological progress in this field has been so phenomenal that we are already in the 5th generation of optical fiber communication system with in a brief span of 30 years. Recent developments in optical amplifiers and WDM (Wavelength division multiplexing) are taking communication system, with almost ’Zero’ loss and almost ‘Infinite’ bandwidth. Indeed optical fiber communication systems are fulfilling the increased demand on communication links especially with the proliferation of the Internet. The aim of this programme is to provide an exposure in the emerging field and recent trends in optical & wireless technology to the participants.
