SEMICONDUCTOR DIODE LASERS AND OTHER OPTOELECTRONIC DEVICES
An overview of modern photonic technology and an introduction to key parameters and concepts; the basic mechanisms determining the relationship between optical gain and current density, and quantum-well laser structures; physics of high-power phase-locked laser arrays or other optoelectronics devices. Knowledge of electromagnetics [such as E C E 320 ] and solid-state electronics [such as E C E 335 ] strongly encouraged.
