Photonic Design Engineering /Exercise 1

Along with the development of high-frequency electronics, the frequency range at the boundary between radio waves and light is being explored, and various light sources and detection devices that operate at terahertz frequencies, which were previously in the electromagnetic wave range unexplored by mankind, have become a reality. Hope for social implementation (optical design) of terahertz waves for applications other than information and communication has been increasing. In this class, we will understand the operating principles of high-frequency devices and laser light sources and detectors that form the basis of such practical applications, and propose and demonstrate applications based on the properties of the electronic materials that realize these devices and the functions they exhibit.

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.

Japanese

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

Assignments and reports (20 points), as well as a mid-term exam (40 points) and a final exam (40 points), for a total of 100 points. The exercises and reports will be conducted each time. 60 points out of 100 points will be considered as a passing grade. A standard score of 60 points is the level of ability to explain the principles of operation of electronic and optical devices, including their applications.

To be specified in each class section.

Summarize the operating principles and characteristics of optical devices around us.
