Condition |
Basic knowledge of light propagation through dielectric waveguides and the operating principles of optical modulators (Optical Computing) is recommended. |
The goal |
Introducing students to techniques, software tools, laboratory equipment, and experimental setups for modeling, designing, and characterizing passive photonic integrated devices. |
The outcome |
Project tasks will involve using software tools for modeling and designing passive integrated circuits, as well as conducting laboratory characterization of devices fabricated based on the students' designs. Upon completing these tasks, students will be well-qualified to work in research and development roles within companies specializing in photonic integrated devices. |
