Prerequisites：
NACourse objectives and basic requirements:

The course is designed for the graduate students to understand the basic theories, concepts of optical networks, especially the wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical networks, to learn basic modulation and demodulation techniques and basic devices in WDM optical networks, how to design a WDM network, be aware of modern access networks and optical packet switching and so on. 

The students should:

l understand fundamental theories and concepts of WDM optical network;

l force yourselves to think and analyze based on the concepts learned;

l be active in discussion in classroom;

l Know how to analyze and design a WDM optical network.

Test and Grading Criteria： 

 Opening exam(50%)+usually works(50%)
Course introduction:

The course is based on the basic theory of optical communications, which will address the issues of the concepts and theory of wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical networks. It also will address the modulation and demodulation technique, transmission system design, basic devices in WDM optical networks, design of a WDM network, network survivability and access network and optical packet switching techniques and so on. The students will discuss the detail technique in WDM networks to fully understand the theory and techniques.
