General
Aim
  • The course will provide a platform both for the selection of suitable devices for various applications in optoelectronics and optical communication and for the development of next generation devices. In order to achieve this, the course will emphasize the underlying physics as well as how performance is affected by device design and materials properties.
Contents
  • *Optical processes in semiconductors, materials properties, charge carrier dynamics.
    *Wave guide optics, fibre optics and optical communication.
    *Quantum structures and microcavities.
    *Light emitting devices: LEDs and laser diodes.
    *Light-absorbing devices: detectors, camera chips and solar cells.
Knowledge and Understanding
  • For a passing grade the doctoral student must
  • be able to explain how light and electrons interact in semiconductors
    be able to explain concepts such as energy quantization and microcavities
    be able to explain the design and the resulting function of different types of LEDs, diode lasers, detectors and camera chips
    be able to explain how light propagates in wave guides and optical fibres
    be able to explain the principles of fiber optical components for optical communication.
Competences and Skills
  • For a passing grade the doctoral student must
  • be able to select appropriate light sources, light guiding systems and detectors for various optoelectronic applications
    be able to calculate the performance of optical detectors and fiber optical components
