Course content
Developments in high-frequency electronics have opened up the frequency range at the boundary between radio waves and light, and various Terahertz wave emitting and detecting devices have been realized. Social design of Terahertz waves for applications other than information and telecommunications is expected to become a reality. In this class, operating principles of light sources and detectors of semiconductor devices and lasers, which are the basis of such applications, will be explained, as well as physical properties of electronic materials that realize them, and the functions and applications.
Purpose of class
Physical Properties of Electronic Materials and the Functions and Applications will be explained in the following topics.
1. challenges in electronic and optical devices
2. High-speed and high-frequency operation of electronic and optical devices
3. Crystal growth of semiconductor materials and evaluation of crystal properties from device operation
4. principle of laser operation
5. laser applications: general
6. laser application: nondestructive testing
7. laser application: mechanics and disaster prevention
Goals and objectives
  1. To explain the principle of operation to realize high-speed and high-frequency devices.
  2. To explain crystal growth of semiconductor materials and crystal evaluation from the viewpoint of device characteristics.
  3. To explain the operating principles of lasers and the applications that can be realized.
