ECCE 681 Semiconductor Optoelectronic Devices
This course covers optical properties of semiconductors; physics of absorption, spontaneous and stimulated emission. Theory and design of semiconductor optoelectronic devices, applications and current state-of-the-art are covered in depth. Devices covered include photo-detectors (p-i-n, avalanche, MSM), modulators (carrier injection, electro-absorption), light-emitting diodes (LEDs), semiconductor optical amplifiers and semiconductor lasers.
