Description: This course provides an introduction to the fundamental principles of semiconductor optoelectronic devices. After reviewing the basic elements of quantum mechanics of electrons and photons, light-matter interaction (including laser oscillations), and semiconductor physics (band structure, heterostructures and alloys, optical processes), we will study the details of modern semiconductor devices for the generation, detection, and modulation of light. Additional coursework required beyond the undergraduate course requirements. Cross-list: ELEC 462. Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for ELEC 562 if student has credit for ELEC 462.
