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.
