Advanced Semiconductor Lasers
Examine dynamic properties of semiconductor lasers; intensity, phase, and frequency noise; dynamic lasing spectra, chirp, and mode partition noise; injection locking and optical feedback; short pulse generation by mode-locking and gain switching; single-mode distributed feedback, distributed Bragg reflector (DBR), and coupled-cavity lasers; wavelength-tunable single-mode lasers; externally modulated lasers; coherent high-power laser arrays; quantum-dot lasers and amplifiers; vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers; and integrated wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) laser arrays and photonic integrated circuits. Electrical and Computer Engineering 396V (Topic 6) and Electrical Engineering 396V (Topic 6) may not both be counted.
