ECE 5412 - Fund of Optoelectronics

Institution:
University of Utah
Subject:
Electrical and Computer Engineering
Description:
This is an introductory lecture course to the fundamental principles of semiconductor optoelectronic devices. Together with ECE 5410, these two courses provide a full introduction to fundamentals of optics and optoelectronics. This course will first review basic elements of quantum mechanics, light-matter interaction, and semiconductor physics. After that, we will study modern optoelectronic devices for the generation, detection, and modulation of light. Device examples include laser diodes, light-emitting diodes, optical modulators, photoconductors and photodiodes. At the end of this course, cutting-edge research such as optical machine learning hardware will be introduced. Prerequisites: 'C-' or better in (ECE 3200 OR ECE 3300) AND (Full Major status in Electrical Engineering OR Computer Engineering)
