A course is the basic teaching unit, it's design as a medium for a student to acquire comprehensive knowledge and skills indispensable in the given field. A course guarantor is responsible for the factual content of the course.
For each course, there is a department responsible for the course organisation. A person responsible for timetabling for a given department sets a time schedule of teaching and for each class, s/he assigns an instructor and/or an examiner.
Expected time consumption of the course is expressed by a course attribute extent of teaching. For example, extent = 2 +2 indicates two teaching hours of lectures and two teaching hours of seminar (lab) per week.
At the end of each semester, the course instructor has to evaluate the extent to which a student has acquired the expected knowledge and skills. The type of this evaluation is indicated by the attribute completion. So, a course can be completed by just an assessment ('pouze zápočet'), by a graded assessment ('klasifikovaný zápočet'), or by just an examination ('pouze zkouška') or by an assessment and examination ('zápočet a zkouška') .
The difficulty of a given course is evaluated by the amount of ECTS credits.
The course is in session (cf. teaching is going on) during a semester. Each course is offered either in the winter ('zimní') or summer ('letní') semester of an academic year. Exceptionally, a course might be offered in both semesters.
The subject matter of a course is described in various texts.
BI-OPT Introduction to Optical Networks Extent of teaching: 2P+1C Instructor: Completion: Z,ZK Department: 18104 Credits: 4 Semester: Z Annotation:
Students get basic overview of optical networking technology with the emphasis on practical utilization in Internet and in network infrastructures, on possible problems with deployment of optical network technology and on their solutions. The course will include the history of optical communications, an overview of passive components (optical fibres, multiplexors, dispersion compensators, and others), and an overview of active components (optical switches and amplifiers, high-speed coherent transmission systems). The course will also cover the most up-to-date topics presented at premium research conferences, such as ECOC or OFC. Attention will also be paid to new applications, such as the accurate time on Internet, ultrastable frequency transfer, or sensor networks. The labs will focus on real work with optical components and on measurement of their parameters. Students will solve real tasks from practice.
Lecture syllabus:
1. Introduction to the topic, history of optical communication. 2. Optical fibers, their types, applications. 3. Linear effects and their impact on optical signal transmission. 4. Nonlinear effects and their impact on optical signal transmission. 5. The most important measurements: dispersion, loss, optical reflectometry. 6. Passive optical components. 7. Optical signal amplification, types of optical amplifiers. 8. High-speed modulation, transmitters and receivers. 9. New types of transceivers (100/200/400 Gigabit Ethernet). 10. High-speed coherent transmission systems. 11. New non-data applications. 12. Quantum optics and further technological trends. Seminar syllabus:
Schedule of 4 threehour lab blocks: The labs will také at CTU FEE in optical labs of the Department of electromagnetic field. Modern equipment provided by the colocated CESNET laboratory of optical technology will be available for students.
1. Introduction to basic components of optical networks. Fibers, passive components, active components. 2. Basic measurements used in practical applications of optical networks.
