High Performance Electronic-Photonic Integrated Circuits

Harvard FAS

This course focuses on state-of-the-art electronic-photonic integrated circuits for high-speed communication and computation. It emphasizes the importance of electronic-photonic co-design: maximizing overall performance by holistically co-optimizing electronic and photonic circuits together. Topics span multiple layers of the computing stack, including materials (group IV, III-V, II-VI semiconductors), electro-optic devices (modulators, lasers, photodetectors, semiconductor optical…
