EC EN 562
Integrated Quantum and Classical Photonics
Electrical and Computer Engineering
Ira A. Fulton College of Engineering
Course Description
Design, fabrication, and analysis of chip-scale optical circuits. Classical and quantum performance characteristics of several circuit components, as well as applications in computing, sensing, and communications. Students will design a custom integrated photonic circuit, which will be fabricated and tested in a silicon foundry during the semester. Students will analyze their measured devices using the tools learned in the class.
