EECS 232 – Introduction to Optoelectronics - Spring 2001
Prof. C. J. Chang-Hasnain
Overview
This
course will focus on basic physics and design principles of semiconductor diode
lasers, optical modulators and integrated optical devices.
The material covered is of central importance to all optoelectronic
devices that are playing a pivotal role in optical networking and dense
wavelength division multiplexed (DWDM) systems.
Practical applications of the devices will be also discussed.
