Course description and aims
The course provides a complete overview of photonic devices employed in lightwave systems, networks, optical data storages and solid state lghting. Topics include a variety of different subjects including a detailed discussion of the design and operation of light emitting diodes, the basic physics and operation of lasers and photodetectors, and the design and operation of optoelectronic integrated circuits.
The course aims at developing deep insight and knowledges into photonic devices through a thorough understanding of the underlying physics.
Student learning outcomes
Students can acquire the fundamental skills of wide range of photonic devices, including
1. to acquire fundamental understanding of the basic physics behind photonic devices.
2. to develop basic understanding of light emitting diodes.
3. to develop detailed knowledge of laser operating principles and structures.
4. to acquire in depth understanding of photodetectors.
Keywords
light emitting diodes, semiconductor lasers, photodetectors, optical communication systems, soid state lighting, optical storages, optical interconnections, laser displays
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
At the beginning of each class, answers of the practice in the latest class are explained. Next, contents of the class are lectured. Toward the end of the class, the time for the practice is given to students.
Before classes, the texts are uploaded on OCW-i web site. Students should download them, and read them. After classes, they are requested to read the texts for understanding the contennts of the classes.
