OptiSystem Lab Assignments

LESSON 1 – INTRODUCTION TO OPTIPERFORMER

In this exercise, you will download and install OptiPerformer on your PC/laptop. After which you will run a basic fiber optic system consisting of a transmitter, a fiber and a receiver.

LESSON 2 – ATTENUATION – LIMITED FIBER LENGTH

In this exercise, you will calculate the attenuation-limited fiber length based on the power budget equation. Simulate the resulting system and verify that it meets performance objectives.

LESSON 3 – DISPERSION LIMITED FIBER LENGTH

In this lesson, you will calculate the dispersion-limited fiber length for a fiber optic transport system that employs standard single-mode fiber and a directly-modulated single-mode laser diode transmitter.

Simulate the resulting system and verify that it meets performance objective.
