Description
This course offers a practical, real-world introduction to the fundamentals of fiber optics technology and optical data communications, specifically designed for technicians and individuals without deep prerequisite knowledge who seek to build a solid foundation in modern communication systems. A basic understanding of fundamental concepts of light is required to fully benefit from the course content. It begins by exploring why optical fibers have become the preferred medium for data transmission, surpassing traditional copper wiring in all key performance aspects such as bandwidth, signal attenuation, and immunity to electromagnetic interference. Participants will gain a thorough understanding of the principles behind fiber optics, including how light propagates through optical fibers via total internal reflection. The course covers the essential components of fiber-optic communication systems, such as transmitters, optical fibers themselves, and receivers, highlighting how these elements integrate within larger system-level applications. Various types of optical fibers, connectors, and splices are examined in detail, along with practical techniques for installation and maintenance. Participants will also learn about critical testing and measurement methods used in the field, including visual fault locating, optical loss testing, and the use of optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) to diagnose and characterize fiber links. Emphasizing practical skill development, the course provides recorded virtual demonstrations showcasing key tasks such as cleaning and visually inspecting connector end faces, installing connectors on optical fibers, and splicing fiber strands. These demonstrations allow learners to observe professional techniques and procedures in detail. Additionally, interactive, simulated sessions enable participants to apply the techniques and tools discussed throughout the program in a realistic, flexible, and self-paced online environment, without the need for in-person attendance.
Who this course is for
Individuals with no prerequisite knowledge who want to learn more about optics and quantum: technicians, high schoolers, non-technical and technical business professionals, and other individuals curious about this technology.
