    Aims & Objectives


    This course covers the fundamental principles for understanding and applying optical fiber
    technology to modern telecommunication systems. The text, in this course, examines fundamental
    behaviour of the individual optical components, describes their interactions with other devices on an
    optical fiber link, and discusses the behaviour of optical links and networks. The background of
    provided in this course may effectively be utilized for advanced courses and for research in the field
    laser & fiber optic.

    Assignments:
    Assignments would be assigned at least one week before the due date and must be
    submitted on or before due date. No late assignment will be accepted. Total of 3
    assignments would be assigned during the semester. You have to be very careful
    while you are solving your assignment. Please do not try copy from someone else in
    order to avoid any problem at the end of the semester.

    Class Quizzes:
    To check the class performance, sudden death test or class quizzes would be taken in
    class throughout the semester. At least 4 quizzes would be taken during the semester.
    These quizzes have to be solved in the class and they would be of short duration.
    There would be no LATE submission or MAKEUP for these quizzes.
