Semiconductor Integrated Optoelectronics

3 credits · Graduate

In this course, physical fundamentals and principles of operation of semiconductor photonic devices and integrated structures are introduced. Structures for optical radiation generation and detection, nonlinear and bistable devices, etc., are studied. Integration of these components onto a common substrate for implementing optoelectronic functions such as modulation, switching, multiplexing, etc., is described. Applications in fast optical signal processing devices, high-performance optical communications systems, and optical computing are addressed.
