Module 5: Optical Wave Guides

Syllabus Modules Schedule

Objective:

Students will study solutions to the wave equation in a non-uniform dielectric to arrive at the modes in a multimode fiber.  They will analyze the dielectric slab wave guide.  Students will investigate pulse propagation along a the single mode fiber and the propagation of a pulse through a dispersive system.
