Course information

 

Class times

Lectures: TR 11:40-12:55 pm (HLS 401)

Lecture notes

Lecture notes will be placed on the course website.

Texts

There are no required texts. Some good and somewhat relevant texts are:

(1) Diode Lasers and Photonic Integrated Circuits by L. A. Coldren, S. W. Corzine
(2)
Physics of Optoelectronic Devices by S. L. Chuang
(3)
Electronic and Optical Properties of Semiconductor Structures by Jasprit Singh
(4)
Semiconductor Device Fundamentals by Robert F. Pierret

Exams

There will be a midterm exam and a final exam.

Grading policy

About 35% homework, 25% midterm, and 35% final exam and 5% instructor discretion.

Course prereqs

a) A course in quantum mechanics.

b) a course in electromagnetic radiation (like ECE3030).

c) a course in semiconductor device physics (like ECE4570) or solid state physics (like ECE4070) .

These are strong prereqs. Students not meeting any one of these prereqs should not take this course
