Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

E930 Electrical Engineering, Master, ASPO 01.10.2005 , semester 9, optional course
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 105 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr. Martin Buchholz
Lecturer:
Prof. Dr. Martin Buchholz

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this course, students will have a detailed understanding of signal transmission in fibre-optic cables and networks. They will be able to estimate and calculate nonlinear effects in optical waveguide systems. By studying an existing high-rate optical transmission path, students will become acquainted with the requisite hardware components and the special features of optical communication technology. They will know how to use the relevant measuring instruments and be able to independently verify the quality of an optical transmission path. Students will have an up-to-date knowledge of optical communications technology, the available optical components and developments in the field of integrated optics.
