Training DVD covers high-speed fiber-optic systems

The Light Brigade, AFL’s education and training division, has introduced its latest menu-based staff training DVD, entitled, High-speed Fiber Optic Systems. The trainer says the new DVD examines the rapid improvement of spectral efficiency within fiber-optic systems and addresses how advanced modulation formats work to help meet the demand for higher speed data transmission.

The DVD features nine chapters providing insight into the newest modulation formats and techniques, helping users achieve greater reliability, flexibility, scalability and ultimately greater efficiency within their fiber-optic infrastructures. The program addresses such formats as coherent transmission, forward error correction, digital signal processing, software-defined networking (SDN), and optical amplification and switching.

“The demand of high speed transmission systems requires new techniques to transmit and receive high speed signals,” comments Dario De Paolis, vice president and general manager of Light Brigade. “This DVD addresses how advanced modulation formats coupled with forward error correction and coherent detection technologies achieves this goal.”

In addition, the DVD includes a customizable bonus quiz for students. An instructor version is also available upon request. For more information, visit www.lightbrigade.com.
