OVERVIEW
What I built
The project developed a two-wavelength optical architecture with laser sources, multiplexing, filtering/coupling, and photodetection while comparing practical components, specifications, availability, cost, and connector choices.
ENGINEERING WORK
What the project demonstrates
- Wavelength planning and system-level optical architecture.
- Laser, detector, coupler, and filter component selection.
- Optical power-budget analysis and link feasibility.
- Datasheet interpretation and engineering trade studies.
- BOM development with real suppliers, pricing, and availability.
