Optoelectronics and Laser (MEMY-580)

(PGRAD117) -  Nikolaos Pelekanos

Περιγραφή Μαθήματος

The course combines a general overview of the field of optoelectronics with an in-depth introduction to the operation of the most typical and perhaps the most exciting optoelectronic device, the diode laser. Emphasis is placed in dealing with problems of practical interest that require some use of computer-aided methods.
