Lightwave Devices, EE 232, Fall 2025, UC Berkeley

​

Instructor: Haoning Tang

​

This course provides an introduction and overview of the fundamentals of optoelectronic devices. Topics such as optical gain and absorption spectra, quantization effects, strained quantum wells, optical waveguiding and coupling, and hetero p-n junctions will be covered. This course will focus on basic physics and design principles of semiconductor diode lasers, light-emitting diodes, photodetectors, and integrated optics. Practical applications of the devices will also be discussed.
