Nanophotonics and Detectors at Coursera Course details
- This course can also be taken for academic credit as ECEA 5606, part of CU Boulder?s Master of Science in Electrical Engineering degree.
- Nanophotonics and Detectors Introduction
- This course dives into nanophotonic light emitting devices and optical detectors, including metal semiconductors, metal semiconductor insulators, and pn junctions. We will also cover photoconductors, avalanche photodiodes, and photomultiplier tubes. Weekly homework problem sets will challenge you to apply the principles of analysis and design we cover in preparation for real-world problems.
- Course Learning Outcomes
- At the end of this course you will be able to?
- (1) Use nanophotonic effects (low dimensional structures) to engineer lasers
- (2) Apply low dimensional structures to photonic device design
- (3) Select and design optical detector for given system and application
