DESIGN OF ACTIVE PHOTONIC INTEGRATED CIRCUITS
- Mirrors and resonators for semiconductor lasers. (S and T matrices, Meyson's rule, Fabry-Perot lasers, Bragg gratings)
- Methods for analysis and calculation of the supported modes in semiconductor waveguides. (Methods. Numerical methods for modelling. Mode calculation. Passive components design. Mode excitation and interefrence)
- Photonic integrated circuits (PIC). (Optical and electrical lateral confination. Fabrication methods. (integration platforms, basic of technology and device fabrication, packaging), Lasers (DFB, DBR, tunable and externally-modulated), passive components, waveguide photodiodes, transceivers and triplexers, PIC for coherent optical systems.)
- Basic measurements and characterization methods for PIC. (Light coupling, Current-Power characteristic, Spectrum, Frequency response, Losses, Error probability, Experimental determination of active material properties)
