Course Title

Laser and Electro-Optic Devices

Course Description

This course offers a more advanced look at many of the devices used in a photonics lab. Physical characteristics of photodetectors, such as response time and detectivity, will be measured and compared to published device specifications and further verified using computerized diagnostic equipment. Measuring the thermal effects of a laser by applying different types of photodetectors to optical systems will be explored. Students will further investigate other wave based energy using light to transmit digitized data.
