LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

The primary aim of this course is to:
 understanding basic laws and phenomena in the area of Optoelectronics and Lasers
 theoretical and practical preparation of students to acquire and apply knowledge and skills
in Optoelectronics and Lasers
 builds on the basic knowledge of both fundamental physics and state-of-the-art
technologies for optoelectronic components and fibre optics, in order to understand their
important applications in optical communications and energy conversions that influence
our society and everyday life.
 The course will include the introductions to various physical processes for optical
transitions, operation principles of key optoelectronic devices including lasers,
photodetectors, modulators and solar cells, functionalities of optical interconnect

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

After completion of course, students will be able to
 Define, in depth, the principles/functionality of the most important optoelectronic devices,
compare and evaluate the different device designs
 Perform modeling to analyze the physics behind semiconductor optoelectronic devices
 explain fundamental physical and technical base of Optoelectronic systems,
 describe basic laws and phenomena that define behaviour of optoelectronic systems,
