Description:
The course provides an introduction to optoelectronic device operation and design, which are important components in optical communication systems, consumer electronics and IT systems. Assuming an electrical/electronic or physics undergraduate level background in semiconductor physics, the course begins with a recap of this essential topic, followed by the study of pn junctions and LED fundamental operating principles. A variety of designs and configurations of these devices are considered with application-specific characteristics. The short course is ‘applied’ in nature.
- Posses core knowledge relating to pn junction and LEDs.
- Apply these principles to new engineering projects.
- Delve deeper into the topic of optoelectronics.
