| FIBER OPTICS 6 CFU - 60 HR THE COURSE PROVIDES THE NECESSARY SKILLS FOR THE ANALYSIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF OPTICAL FIBERS AND PRESENTS THE MAIN APPLICATION ASPECTS IN THE FIELD OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND SENSORS. THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO: - CUT AN OPTICAL FIBER AND COUPLE IT WITH A LASER - CONNECTORIZE AN OPTICAL FIBER AND MEASURE ITS LOSSES - PERFORM ATTENUATION MEASUREMENTS WITH AN OTDR - FABRICATE DIRECTIONAL FIBER OPTIC COUPLER AND MEASURE ITS PARAMETERS - FABRICATE FIBER OPTIC SENSORS (TEMPERATURE, LIQUID LEVEL, DISPLACEMENT SENSORS) THE STUDENT WILL KNOW: - IDENTIFY AND CHOOSE THE MOST APPROPRIATE TYPE OF FIBER FOR A PARTICULAR APPLICATION - OPERATE IN THE LABORATORY RECOGNIZING THE OPTICAL INSTRUMENTATION NECESSARY FOR A PARTI-CULAR MEASUREMENT - CRITICALLY EVALUATE THE MEASUREMENT DATA AND DRAW CONCLUSIONS THE STUDENT WILL KNOW: - OPERATE INDIVIDUALLY AND AS MEMBERS OF A GROUP IN THE EXPERIMENTAL ACTIVITIES - WRITE CLEAR AND WELL-STRUCTURED REPORTS AND DESCRIBE THE RESULTS OF THE MEASUREMENTS WITH LANGUAGE PROPERTIES THE STUDENT WILL KNOW: - EXTEND AND APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED TO CONTEXTS OTHER THAN THOSE DISCUSSED DU-RING THE COURSE - DEEPEN THE TOPICS COVERED USING SOURCES AND MATERIALS OTHER THAN THOSE PROPOSED |
| Prerequisites | |
|---|---|
| THE COURSE REQUIRES THE KNOWLEDGE OF FOLLOWING TOPICS: - MAXWELL'S EQUATIONS - FUNDAMENTAL THEOREMS OF ELECTROMAGNETISMS - FREE-SPACE AND GUIDED PROPAGATION OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD |

| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| LECTURES FOR 3CFU (30 HOURS) AND LABORATO-RY EXPERIENCES WITH THECNICAL REPORTS FOR 3CFU (30 HOURS). IT IS MANDATORY TO AT-TEND AT LEAST THE 80% OF THE ENTIRE COURSE. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| THE VERIFICATION OF THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE INCLUDES A WRITTEN TEST AND AN ORAL TEST, BOTH EVALUATED OUT OF THIRTY. TO ACCESS THE ORAL EXAM, YOU MUST PASS THE WRITTEN TEST WITH A MINIMUM SCORE OF 18/30. THE WRITTEN TEST REQUIRES THE ANSWER TO 30 MULTIPLE CHOICE OR OPEN ANSWER QUESTIONS AND IS AIMED AT ASSESSING THE KNOWLEDGE OF ALL THE THEORETICAL AND APPLICATION TOPICS CARRIED OUT DURING THE COURSE. FOR THE WRITTEN TEST, THE STUDENT HAS 1 HOUR. PARTIAL WRITTEN TESTS ARE AVAILABLE DURING THE COURSE, EXEMPTING FROM THE WRITTEN FINAL TEST. THE MINIMUM ASSESS-MENT LEVEL (18/30) IS ATTRIBUTED WHEN THE STUDENT CORRECTLY ANSWERS AT LEAST 15 QUESTIONS. THE MAXIMUM LEVEL (30/30) IS ATTRIBUTED WHEN THE STUDENT PROVIDES CORRECT ANSWERS TO ALL QUESTIONS. THE ORAL EXAM CONSISTS OF - PRESENTATION OF A TOPIC CHOSEN BY THE TEACHER (FOR EXAMPLE: ANALYSIS OF PROPAGATION IN OP-TICAL FIBER, TRANSMISSION PARAMETERS OF OPTICAL FIBERS, OPTICAL FIBER COMPONENTS) - DISCUSSION OF TECHNICAL REPORTS ON LABORATORY ACTIVITIES WILL BE EVALUATED: - THE DEGREE OF DEEPENING OF THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE - THE DEGREE OF UNDERSTANDING OF THE APPLICATION IMPLICATIONS OF THE THEORETICAL TOPICS - AUTONOMY OF ANALYSIS AND JUDGMENT - THE EXHIBITION SKILLS AND THE DESCRIPTION OF THE TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF LABORATORY REPORTS - THE USE OF APPROPRIATE TECHNICAL TERMINOLOGY THE MINIMUM ASSESSMENT LEVEL (18/30) IS ATTRIBUTED WHEN THE STUDENT DEMONSTRATES UN-CERTAINTIES IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF BOTH THE PROPAGATION CHARACTERISTICS OF OPTICAL FIBERS AND THEIR MAIN TRANSMISSION PARAMETERS, A POOR EXPOSURE ABILITY AND THE USE OF INAPPROPRIATE TECHNICAL TERMINOLOGY. THE MAXIMUM ASSESSMENT LEVEL (30/30) IS ATTRIBUTED WHEN THE STU-DENT DEMONSTRATES A COMPLETE AND DEEPLY KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROPAGATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF OPTICAL FIBERS, HE IS ABLE TO DESCRIBE IN DETAIL THE OPERATING PRINCIPLES OF THE FIBER DEVICES AND COMPONENTS AND SHOWS GOOD EXPOSURE ABILITY WITH SATISFACTORY TECHNICAL TERMINOLOGY. THE FINAL MARK EXPRESSED IN THIRTIETHS WITH POSSIBLE LAUDE, WILL BE CONSTITUTED BY THE AVERA-GE VALUE OF THE MARKS OF EACH TEST. LAUDE IS AWARDED WHEN THE STUDENT DEMONSTRATES SIGNIFICANT MASTERY OF BOTH THEORETICAL CONTENTS AND LABORATORY ACTIVITIES, ABILITY TO MAKE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE THEORETICAL TO-PICS COVERED, ABILITY TO IDENTIFY THE MOST APPROPRIATE FIBER FOR A PARTICULAR APPLICATION AND A REMARKABLE PROPERTY OF LANGUAGE. |
