Course Name: Semiconductor Optoelectronics

Course abstract

This course introduces the students to the field of Semiconductor Optoelectronics, which deals with the physics and technology of semiconductor optoelectronic devices such as light emitting diodes, laser diodes and photodiodes, which are becoming important components in consumer optoelectronics, IT and communication devices, and in industrial instrumentation. Assuming a general science/engineering undergraduate level background, the course begins with a recap of essential (to this course) semiconductor physics, followed by the study of interaction of photons with electrons and holes in a semiconductor, leading to the realization of semiconductor photon amplifiers, sources, modulators, and detectors. A variety of designs and configurations of these devices have been emerging with application-specific characteristics. The course is ‘applied’ in nature, and could be offered at the level of B.E/B.Tech IIIrd/ IVth Year, M.Sc IInd/ M.Tech. I Year.

Prof. M.R. Shenoy

M. R. SHENOY received the M. Sc. in Physics in 1979 from Mysore University and the PhD in the field of Fiber and Integrated Optics from IIT Delhi in 1987. He joined the faculty of IIT Delhi in 1988, where he is currently Professor in the Department of Physics. Dr. Shenoy was a Visiting Scientist with the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, U.K., in 1990 for 10 months, and on short- duration visits at the University of Nice \u2013 Sophia Antipolis, Nice, France, in 1992, 1997, 2006 and 2008 for collaborative research on Integrated Optical Devices. He has authored/co- authored a number of research papers and book chapters, and has supervised a large number of student projects at the B.Tech, M.Sc. M.Tech and Ph.D. levels. He is a co-editor of the book Fiber Optics Through Experiments (Viva Publications, New Delhi, 1994, 2008). He has delivered a full video course of 46 lectures on Semiconductor Optoelectronics, facilitated by NPTEL, and freely available for download on YouTube. He has been involved in several Sponsored R&D projects on the design and development of guided-wave optical components and devices. His current research interests are in the area of Optoelectronics and Guided Wave Optical Components.
