Learning outcomes

Expected results from this subject	Training and Learning Results
1. To understand the origin and reasons for the use of optical transmission systems.		B3
2. To learn the physical foundations of the optical transmission systems and optical information processes. In particular, those concepts that deviate most from the classical technics such as, for instance, the optical generation and photonic detection.		B3 B5		D3
3. To know the basic theory of optical devices and optical subsystems like, for example, LEDs and lasers, photodetectors, modulators, fibre amplifiers and optical filters.		B3 B5		D3
4. To be able to specify the type of optical fibres and other necessary optoelectronical components that are needed for a certain optical link. Also, to understand their physical and technological limitations.			C25	D3
5. To be able to develop models for optical links and to evaluate the impact that the different transmission subsystems and transmission formats have on their performance.			C25	D3
6. To know the foundations, topologies and switching technologies of optical networks, as well as those of the current proposals of FTTH			C21
