After successful completion of the course, students are able to design integrated photonic components (such as e.g. optical filters, modulators, mutiplexers, etc.) and circuits (e.g. for telecommunications, microwave electronics, automotive applications (LIDAR), optical computing, etc.) and verify their function using state-of-the-art simulation tools.
Principles of operation, design and simulation of fundamental elements of photonic integrated circuits - waveguides; splitters; phase and amplitude modulators; optical fiber couplers; multiplexers, filters, detectors; light sources and amplifiers. The most prominent examples of photonic intergated circuits for telecommunications, microwave electronics, automotive applications (LIDAR), and optical computing will be discussed. Students will design their own photonic integrated circuit using state-of-the art CAD tools.
