Fiber Optic Communication Lab
FIBER OPTIC COMMUNICATION LABARATORY
The lab is equipped with optical simulation CAD tools such as OPTSIM and Photonics CAD to support a strong research activity in this area. Fiber optic work benches imported from New port Corporation is available. The projects carried out in this laboratory covers a wide range of applications both in telecommunications and sensors with the use of both multimode and single-mode fibers.Fiber optic Communication laboratory supports UG and PG laboratory course
