CAPT 3500: Photonic Technologies for Optical Networks: Meeting the Demand of the Internet Instructor: Dr. Tingye Li Course Description: Optical fiber transmission offers unmatched attributes of vast bandwidth, graceful growth, flexible architecture, high reliability, and cost-effective deployment for information transport and distribution. Indeed, lightwave communication has greatly hastened the coming of the information age. A recent development involving optical amplifiers and wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) technology has revolutionized the telecommunications industry. Optical networks employing amplified WDM transmission are able to meet the very large capacity demand due to the explosive growth of data and Internet services. This course will cover the history, evolution and future trends of lightwave communications in the context of traffic demand, systems requirements, and technology innovations. Special emphasis will be given to photonic technologies and components needed for transport and networking: functions and specifications of the required devices will be discussed from an integrated systems viewpoint and business aspects of the potential supplier will also be addressed. There will be ample time given to discussions, questions and answers. Who should attend: This course is intended for business and technical executives who possess technologies that may have applications in the telecommunications field, including optical coatings and filters, fiber gratings, polarization devices, laser sources, optical switches, packaging and sub system assemblages, etc. Test and instrument vendors can benefit: so can network-provider managers, venture capitalists and investment bankers. In fact, all those interested in lightwave technologies and systems will find the course worthwhile. About the Instructor Dr. Tingye Li retired recently as a Division Manager in the Communications Infrastructure Research Laboratory of AT&T. Since joining AT&T Bell Labs in 1957, he has been conducting and managing research in the fields of microwaves, lasers and lightwave communications. He and the groups he led have made pioneering contributions to lightwave technologies and systems, much of which are now in commercial use. In the past ten years, Dr. Li and his group have played a key role in leading the industry into the revolutionary deployment of wave-division multiplexing (WDM) that has enabled service and network providers to meet the large bandwidth demand due to the Internet. He is adept at presenting functional details required at the component level, while maintaining a system and economic perspective of the overall application. Dr. Li received his PhD from Northwestern University in 1958 and has received numerous awards for his contributions to the lightwave field. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and a past president of Optical Society of America. REGISTER NOW CLASS SIZE IS LIMITED!!!
