ECE 482/582 – Optical Electronic Systems Catalog Description: Photodetectors, laser theory, and laser systems. (Cross-listed as PH 482/582) Credits: 4 Terms Offered: Fall Prerequisites: ECE 391 or PH 481 or equivalent – some basic optics and plane wave theory is useful but PH 211-213 could suffice. Courses that require this as a prerequisite: ECE 592 Structure: Three 50-minute lectures plus one 3-hour lab per week Instructors: T. Plant (primary), A. Weisshaar (secondary) Course Content: Safety issues of laser radiation and optoelectronic systems: eyes, shocks, burns Photodetectors: PMT, photoconductor, PIN photodiode, phototransistor, APD Overview of lasers: history, current and future markets, stimulated emission, modes – transverse and longitudinal, gain profile Physics of laser gain, gain equation Gaussian beam propagation and optical cavities Transient effects – gain saturation, rate equations, Q-switching, mode-locking Common commercial laser systems: physics, technology, and performance Laboratory experiments: safety and photodetectors (CdS photoconductor, Si PIN photodiode, Si phototransistor); transverse modes and alignment of He-Ne laser; Gaussian beams; lineshapes and use of monochrometer and lock-in amplifier; Fabry-Perot scanning interferometer and HeNe laser longitudinal modes; semiconductor diode lasers and LEDs; team design project: design, fabrication, demonstration, and reporting Measurable Student Learning Outcomes: At the completion of the course, students will be able to… 1. Analyze and design PIN photodetector circuits (ABET outcomes: A, C, E, m) 2. Analyze and design laser optical cavities to meet output beam specifications (ABET outcomes: A, C, E, m) 3. Analyze and design optical electronic systems (ABET outcomes: A, C, E, m) 4. Design, fabricate, test, and document a team optical electronic project (ABET outcomes: A, B, C, d, E, G, K, o) 5. Read and summarize current technical journal papers in optical electronics (ABET outcomes: a, G, i, j, O, Q) Learning Resources: Kuhn, Kelin J., Laser Engineering, Prentice-Hall, Inc., 1998 [Yariv, A and Yeh, P., Photonics: Optical Electronics in Modern Communications, 6th Edn, Oxford, 2007.] [Saleh, B.E.A. and Teich, M.C., Fundamentals of Photonics, 2nd Edn, Wiley-Interscience, 2007 Extra Requirements for ECE/PH 582 graduate credit students: Graduate students will be required to research and present orally in class a topic of current research activity in this field. They will also be given supplemental homework problems at times.
