This document outlines the modules covered in the course EC 8109 - Optical Networks. The 7 modules will cover various optical network elements including passive components, couplers, multiplexers, gratings, sources, filters, circulators and isolators. Additional topics are wavelength converters, switching elements, optical amplifiers, optical network topologies, wavelength routing, nonlinear effects, dispersion management, optical code division multiple access networks, optical switching including photonic packet and interleaving, and soliton communication. The primary textbook is Optical Fiber Communications by G. Keiser and additional reference materials are also provided.
