    This document provides an introduction and overview of an Opto Electronics course. It includes information about textbooks, grading policy, office hours, contact information, and topics that will be covered such as communication channels, why optical communications are used, the electromagnetic spectrum, wavelength bands of interest, factors in choosing a wavelength, and benefits of optical communications such as wide bandwidth and immunity to interference. It also lists two practice questions about how carrier frequency relates to data rate and transmission distance, and why there is a difference between uplink and downlink frequency ranges.

    Communication???

    Channel/medium i.e guided or un-guided Signal get distortion

    Why Optical Communications


    In eight century B.C Greeks use fire to communicate Electrical Systems , signals are supper imposed onto the carrier(Electromagnetic waves) Problem ??? Data rate Distance

    Electromagnetic Spectrum

    Wavelength Bands of Interest

    50 nm (UV) 100 m (IR) 400 nm 700 nm (visible region) 800 nm 1600 nm (1.55m) range

    Choice of wavelength

    Choice of wavelength
    First Window(820nm-880nm) Second Window(1200nm-1320) Third Window(1550nm-1610nm)

    Optical Communications Benefits


    Extremely wide bandwidth: High carrier frequency ( a wavelength of 1552.5 nm corresponds to a center frequency of 193.1 THz) Small size & light weight Immunity to Interference: Electromagnetic interference (high voltage transmission lines, radar systems, power electronic systems, airborne systems, ...) Signal Security

    Optical Communications Benefits


    Lack of EMI cross talk between channels Ruggedness and Flexibility Low Transmission loss (0.25 to 0.3 dB/km) System Reliability and Ease of Maintenance: high performance active & passive photonic components such as tunable lasers, very sensitive photo detectors, couplers, filters, Low Cost systems for data rates in excess of Gbps

    Practice question 01
    How carrier frequency relate with data rate and transmission range/distance

    Practice question 02
    Why there is a difference between uplink and down link frequency range?
