Part II. Detailed Course Information

Justification for the proposal (state only if it is a new course)
Maximum 80 words

This course is an introduction to photonics from an electrical engineering point of view. Photonics (sometimes called optical electronics or optoelectronics) is an umbrella term describing the study of the interaction of electrical, acoustical, and optical fields; and its applications to devices and systems used in modern information and telecommunications technology. It should be of interest to those specializing in optics, devices, telecommunications, waves and fields, as well as anyone who might need to use optical sources or detectors..
Course Description
Provide a brief overview of what is covered during the semester. This information will appear in the printed catalogs and on the web online catalog. Maximum 60 words.

The generation of coherent light by lasers and incoherent light by luminescence sources, resonator optics, photon optics, photons and atoms, laser amplifiers, lasers, photons in semiconductors, Semiconductor photon sources, semiconductor photon detectors, their electronic circuits, designof driver circuits for photonic devices.
Course Objectives
Explain the aims of the course. Maximum 100 words.

This course is an introduction to the fundamental concepts of photons and their applications from an electronical engineering perspective to the photonic devices.
Learning Outcomes
Explain the learning outcomes of the course. Maximum 10 items.

The student Understand and describe the basics of the photonics Defines how lasing occurs and describes the coherent light generation, Describes how stimulated emission occurs Explains the principles of operations of gas and solid lasers Explains the principles of operation of LEDs and photodiodes Designs the drivers for solid state lasers and LEDs
