Semiconductor Optoelectronics (Theory and Design): Course Description
'Semiconductor Optoelectronics: Theory and Design' OpenCourseWare examined how photons interact with semiconductor materials and discussed models for simulating noise in a semiconductor device. Fiber optics is an application of optoelectronics. Fiber optic lines transmit voice and data in the form of light. Special electronic receivers turn the light into an electronic signal for use in devices, such as computers. Optoelectronics has application in the fields of medical diagnostic systems, laser systems, fiber optic communications and optical information systems to name a few. Specific course topics included modulation, lasers, photodetectors, heterostructure materials, optical amplifiers and tunable optics among others. Professor Rajeev Ram taught the original course to graduate students in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT in a lecture-style format.
'Semiconductor Optoelectronics: Theory and Design' OpenCourseWare includes assignments and links to purchase course textbooks. To find out more about this free course from MIT, visit the photon and semiconductor course page.
