X. Li

Photonic devices and circuits are key components used for lightwave generation, amplificaton, transmission and detection in communication systems and networks. Photonic devices and circuits that primarily utilize photons, in conjunction with electrons, can offer the tremendous bandwidth which is the key to a variety of applications, especially broadband communication systems and networks. This course will focus on the modeling of active and functional device physics through numerical approaches, the simulation of device terminal performances through mixed analytical and numerical methods and the extraction of device behaviour models.
