ECE 6412 - Fundamentals of Optoelectronics

This is an introductory lecture course on the fundamental principles of semiconductor optoelectronic devices. This course will first review basic elements of quantum mechanics, light-matter interaction, and semiconductor physics. After that, we will study modern optoelectronic devices including lasers, electro-optic modulators, and detectors for the generation, modulation, and detection of light. At the end of this course, cutting-edge research such as optical machine learning hardware will be introduced.
