X. Li

Photonic devices are key components to lightwave generation, amplification, transmission, and detection in many application systems. Photonic devices that utilize primarily photons, in conjunction with electrons can offer a tremendous bandwidth in these applications, especially in broadband communication systems and networks. This course focuses on the modeling of various passive, active, and functional photonic devices through numerical approaches, simulation of device terminal performances through mixed analytical and numerical methods, and extraction of device behavior models.
