Course content LECTURE: Active fiber optic networks AON (conceptual assumptions, operating principle, construction, standards). Passive fiber optic networks PON (conceptual assumptions, operating principle, construction, standards). Basic assumptions of backbone, regional, local and access networks. A-PON, E-PON, G-PON network architectures. TDM time multiplexing networks (including PDH and SDH networks). WDM multiplexing networks. Reflectometric measurements of fiber optic networks in the time domain (OTDR). Fiber optic attenuation measurements. The advantages and limitations of individual measuring methods will be discussed, as well as the criteria for selecting measuring equipment for particular types of networks. Construction, properties and examples of applications of optical regenerators. The structure and principle of operation of the elements, i.e. fiber optic coupler, circulator, optical isolator. Directions of development of fiber optic teletransmission networks. LABORATORY: Laboratory exercises will have the character of demonstration exercises as an illustration of the issues presented on the lecture. Exercises for students: FTTH network measurement using OTDR; Measurement of attenuation of a multimode fiber network; Measurement of reflectance and attenuation of connections; Fiber optic equipment such as muff, distribution boxes, couplers; Optical fusion splicer. OTHER: Familiarization with the equipment in the laboratory, consultations.
