Explores Kepler's laws, orbital mechanics, energy of motion, flight path angles, orbital maneuvers, Hohmann transfers, geostationary orbits, and Lagrange points.
Covers the fundamental concepts of laser operation, including dispersion theory, gain and resonators, different types of laser systems, noise characteristics, optical fibers, ultrafast lasers, and nonlinear frequency conversion.
Delves into advanced techniques in optical fiber communications to increase spectral efficiency and explores the use of multi-core fibers for space-division multiplexing.
