EMERGING TRENDS IN OPTICAL TECHNOLOGIES
Introduction:
Fiber optic systems are important telecommunication infrastructure for worldwide broadband networks. Wide bandwidth signal transmission with low delay is
a key requirement in present day applications. Optical fibers provide enormous
and unsurpassed transmission bandwidth with negligible latency, and are now the
transmission medium of choice for long distance and high data rate transmission
in telecommunication networks.
Optical communications is one of the fields in Telecommunications Engg where
there is tremendous growth in the past 5 yrs. It is important for the students and
faculties to have knowledge in this domain for better career prospects and to
understand the various research opportunities available.
Our offerings:
We can organize Seminars, Guest lectures, Industry oriented Training progs for
students and Faculty development Progs in this domain.
The Seminars can be of 8 hrs duration(1 day), 3 or 4 Guest lectures for UG/PG
students of ECE discipline. The training prog for UG students will be 60 hrs and
faculty development progs are normally 3 days(24 hrs duration).

Job prospects for trained Engineers: There is a severe shortage of trained
manpower in this domain. Indian companies like Fibcom, Tejas networks and
Sterlite hire Engineers for their manufacturing units. MNCs working in this domain
include Ericsson, Nokia, Huawei Technologies, Ciena, Fujitsu, Nortel, NEC, Alcatel
Lucent, Packet light networks, Israel and 15+ companies in USA alone.
