Optical Sources and Detectors
PHYS5024
This unit of study provides a detailed overview of sources and detectors of optical radiation as well as optical amplifiers. Lasers, light emitting diodes, optical amplifiers and other sources of radiation are covered. Students will study the principles of operation and application of a range of different lasers including diode lasers, fibre lasers and solid state diode-pumped lasers; modelocking and short pulse lasers and high power gas lasers. The properties of semiconductor lasers, amplifiers and detectors will be explained in terms of the materials properties of semiconductors.
