DESIGN AND CHARACTERIZATION

OF PASSIVE PHOTONIC INTEGRATED DEVICES

Level : graduate
Status : voluntary course
Number of credits: 6
Semester : summer
Teaching methods : Exercises are based on solving numerical problems for calculation of parameters for basic building blocks for passive photonic integrated devices. By doing project tasks, students will learn about complete process of photonic circuits realization (except of fabrication, since this will be done in University of Southampton, UK): numerical calculation, modeling, design, experimental characterization, post-processing of the results and their presentation. By working in the laboratory for optical communications they will familiarize with lab instrumentation and experimental set-ups.

Prerequisites : Any undergraduate course covering the basics of light propagation, such as:
Fundamentals of Phyisic 2, Optoelectronics and Optical Telecommunications,
or student's own preknowledge and afinity toward this kind of problems. In this case, some kind of preparation during the fall semester should provide satisfactory results.
Further extension : Design of active photonics integrated circuits, graduate final paper
 
Assessment methods : project
