APSC 637 - Introduction to Optoelectronics

Spring Credits: (3) Prerequisite(s): PHYS 621, PHYS 741, and APSC 627 are recommended.

This course is a comprehensive introduction to waveguide optics and photonics in semi-conductor structures, and provides the basic knowledge for understanding the concepts of optoelectronic devices for transmission and processing of optical signals. These optical communications engineering devices are becoming increasingly important for optical disk storage systems, optical chip-chip interconnections and optical fiber transmission and exchange.
