This is a 10 to 15 week course put together to fill the needs of vocational schools and universities in fiber optics. Recommended as a prerequisite is a basic understanding of electronics and mathematics. Course includes a text for classroom or lecture, lab manual for student experiments, and lab kit with all required components.
The classroom text is presented in three parts:
-Part One places fiber optics into perspective as a transmission medium and describes its advantages over other related media.
-Part Two examines fiber sources, detectors and connectors, in contrast to the distinctly different characteristics of their electronic counterparts.
-Part Three explains in detail how fiber optic systems are designed and assembled. It covers link system design, installation, special fiber optic hardware, applications and equipment.
