| Kurzbeschreibung | The lecture gives a comprehensive insight into various types of nano-scale photonic devices, physical fundamentals of their operation, and an overview of the micro/nano-fabrication technologies. Following applications of nano-scale photonic structures are discussed in details: detectors, photovoltaic cells, atomic/ionic opto-electronic devices and integrated microwave photonics. |
| Lernziel | General training in advanced photonic devices with an in-depth understanding of the fundamentals of theory, fabrication, and characterization. Hands-on experience with photonic and optoelectronic device technologies and theory. The students will learn about the importance of advanced photonic devices in energy, communications, digital and neuromorphic computing applications. |
| Inhalt | The following topics will be addressed: • Photovoltaics: basic thermodynamic principles and fundamental efficiency limitations, physics of semiconductor solar cell, overview of existing solar cell concepts and underlying physical phenomena. • Micro/nano-fabrication technologies for advanced optoelectronic devices: introduction and device examples. • Comprehensive insight into the physical mechanisms that govern ionic-atomic devices, present the techniques required to fabricate ultra-scaled nanostructures and show some applications in digital and neuromorphic computing. • Introduction to microwave photonics (MWP), microwave photonic links, photonic techniques for microwave signal generation and processing. |
| Skript | The presentation and the lecture notes will be provided every week. |
