Master of Arts
Senior Optical Engineer
Determined system requirements for the Optical Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) telecommunications network.
- Specified component requirements and laboratory test equipment used to characterize hardware.
- Innovated a new design approach that would reduce component cost by 50% and assembly cost by 75%.
- Implemented design approach that put two channels on a plate, instead of one, and took much less time to build.
- Determined the power requirements necessary to operate the 8 channel network at a bit error of 10-15, which was determined from the per channel power requirement for this technology. Other parameters that were optimized were the spectral flatness, optical crosstalk, power balance, insertion loss, environmental behavior and receiver parameters.
- The components specified for the network were the gain flattening filters, optical amplifiers, optical fibers, couplers, and splitters.
- Specified Optical spectrum analyzers, power sources, beam profilers, tunable laser sources and fusion splicers.
