PERIODO: GENNAIO - FEBBRAIO 2018

The course aims to describe and analyze main features of a new generation of optical communication systems based on coherent detection: main applications will be introduced, components and the algorithms needed in real implementations will be studied and an analysis of the non-linear fiber propagation will be presented together with system design techniques.

• Basic principles of coherent detection
• Advanced modulation formats and techniques
• Spectral shaping for Nyquist-WDM: a new technology to increase fiber capacity
• Algorithms for digital signal processing (DSP) in the receiver: frequency, phase and polarization recovery
• Analysis of non-linear propagation in optical fiber
• Applications in long-haul systems
• Application in access systems
