ECE 6214 - Optoelectronic Devices (3C)

principles of light generation and detection, operation, and design of state-of-the-art optoelectronic and photonic devices. Advanced treatment of the operating principles of semiconductor optoelectronic devices with direct comparison to experimental data reported in the literature.

Optoelectronic devices and optoelectronic integrated optics are becoming increasingly important electronic components with industrial, consumer, and defense applications in fields such as high speed communications, solid state lighting, optical imaging, and environmental and biomedical sensing. To design, characterize, and model these devices requires an in-depth knowledge of semiconductor device physics, gained in ECE 4214, and of material properties and carrier dynamics, gained in ECE 5200.
