Nanoscale Optical and Optoelectronic Devices

Catalog description

Introduces the student to integrated nanoscale optical and optoelectronic devices. Material focuses on semiconductor-based devices including integrated optical modulators, detectors, laser diodes and special devices including vertical cavity-based geometries. Fabrication of nanoscale optical and optoelectronic devices will center on monolithic integration (e.g., Si-Ge based devices) and hybrid (e.g., III-V_+ Si) integrated systems incorporating integrated waveguides (Si photonics) and CMOS. System applications of optoelectronic devices will be discussed. Prerequisite(s): junior or senior standing.
