Principles and applications of optical fiber communication systems. Covers light propagation, modulation, detection, and system design, with emphasis on fiber-optic technologies.
Continuation of non-relativistic quantum mechanics. Advanced angular momentum theory, second quantization, non-relativistic quantum electrodynamic,s advanced scattering theory, density matrix formalism, reservoir theory.
The course discusses in detail the theory behind important semiconductor based experiments such as Hall effect and Hall mobility measurements; velocity-field measurement; photoluminescence; gain; pump-probe studies; pressure and strain dependent studies. Theory will cover: Bandstructure in quantum wells; effect of strain on bandstructure; transport theory, Monte Carlo methods for high field transport; excitons, optical absorption, … Read more
