PHYS 634 Optoelectronics

Propagation of EM waves in Dielectric waveguide – Fiber optics (boundary conditions, phase and group velocity, attenuation, and dispersion, cut off frequency, single and multimode fibers) – Emitters (LED &laser diodes DH, QW, BDR, DFB, VCSEL’s) - Fabrication techniques – Materials for Photonics – Laser modulation (AM, FM and PM) and Demodulation – Detectors ( PIN, PMT, APD…etc),– Sensors – Switching devices and waveguide switching.
