This thesis analyzes the impact of selected threats on the transmission parameters of optical networks from the perspective of telecommunications infrastructure protection. The aim of the thesis is to design and implement laboratory scenarios representing real-world types of mechanical and environmental stress on optical links and subsequently evaluate their impact on transmission quality and the polarization state of the optical signal. The theoretical part describes current security threats to optical networks, particularly mechanical damage, environmental effects, and methods for monitoring and detecting degradation of optical infrastructure. The practical part of the work focuses on the implementation of four measurement scenarios for 1 G (OOK) and 200 G (16QAM) systems, including the application of pressure to the optical fiber and patch cord, the effect of water in the optical connector, the effect of elevated temperature, and the freezing of the optical connector. As part of the measurements, changes in network parameters, coherent system parameters, and polarization state parameters were analyzed. The work also included the creation of Python scripts for the automated conversion, filtering, processing, and statistical evaluation of the measured data. Based on the experiments conducted, the sensitivities of individual parameters to various types of stress are compared, and their suitability for detecting degradation of the optical infrastructure is evaluated.

Student prezentoval výsledky své práce a komise byla seznámena s posudky. Otázky oponenta: V sekci 2.3.2 uvádíte, že při ponoření spojky do vody očekáváte výrazně vyšší útlum při přenosu na vlnové délce 1550 nm než při 1310 nm. Na základě jakých fyzikálních předpokladů nebo experimentálních poznatků k tomuto závěru docházíte? Student obhájil diplomovou práci a odpověděl na otázky členů komise a oponenta.
