6.731 Semiconductor Optoelectronics: Theory and Design
Fall 2010
Instructors: Jason Orcutt, Rajeev J Ram
Lecture: MWF 2-3 pm (36-144)
Information:
Focuses on the physics of the interaction of photons with
semiconductor materials. Uses the band theory of solids to
calculate the absorption and gain of semiconductor media; and
uses
rate equation formalism to develop the concepts of laser
threshold,
population inversion, and modulation response. Presents theory
and
design for photodetectors, solar cells, modulators, amplifiers,
and
lasers.
