Photonic Materials and Devices: Course Description
Professor Lionel C. Kimerling and Dr. Sajan Saini teach 'Photonic Materials and Devices' to MIT graduate students in the materials science and engineering degree program. The course focuses on optical materials designs for semiconductors, dielectrics and polymers. The OpenCourseWare version of this class includes the notes for lectures on topics such as fiber-optics and waveguide interconnects, WDM filters, photonic crystals, photons and electrons in semiconductors, optical amplifiers and lasers, non-linear optics and modulators, defects and strains and microphotonics. Reading assignments from Fundamentals of Photonics accompany each lecture. Additional resources and references are also provided for download. The design projects outlined within this course stress materials, devices and systems applications.
The course includes notes and reading assignments for 21 lectures, the questions from seven quizzes and a list of resources and project suggestions. If you are interested in learning more, visit the photonic materials and devices course page.
