授業内容とその進め方

Modern photonics and electronics have been deeply spread to both academy andindustry of our Real World, without country borders. It is because photonics
and opto‑electronics have realized terabit‑per‑second network infrastructures,
optical‑disk memories (DVD&CD's), compact and accurate laser diodes (frominfrared to blue), and flat displays, in industry uses and home uses. In thesescience and technology, particle‑based photonic properties of representative
materials are almost always fully combined with their wave‑based opticalproperties, in "bright" manners.
In this course, typically 15 weeks, participants are expected to study andunderstand the scientific fundamentals of these photonic technology, and also
to develop interests to on‑going, long‑term (i.e. large‑scale) R&D activities
in our world.
fundamentals of electro‑magnetic waves (propagating in speed of light).
fundamentals of electronics such as basic diodes and transistors.
fundamentals of quantum mechanics (particles and waves).
fundamentals of crystalline materials and their basic, electronic properties.

(this is the primary textbook for this course.)(2) Amnon Yariv, Optical Electronics in Modern Communications, 5th edition,Oxford University Press, 1997. (the secondary textbook.)*1) UEC's main library and UEC‑CIPE's library holds total eleven (3+3+5) copiesof the above textbook (1). Authorized participants to this course this year may
borrow one copy, officially. Number of participants will be around ten (mightbe less than 10).
*2) Textbook (1) is relatively thick, consisting of 24 chapters. Never try tostudy all of these, from its beginning through the end, because that is theleast exciting way! In this course, basic portions in chapters 12‑18 areselected by lecturer Ueno so that it fits to industry and R&D in coming 10‑20years.
*3) Table of contents of the above textbook (1):

1st‑5th weeks:(1) Areas of science and technology where photonics and opto‑electronics play
particularly important roles in our world.
(2) Representative photonic devices and materials that many of us must use andrely on, in these areas of science and technology.

(3) Fundamental properties of silicon and other few important types ofsemiconductor crystals. Basics of direct transition (for light‑emitting diodesand lasers), in contrast to indirect transition (for sensors and solar cells,
for example).
Then, basics of quantum‑particle‑based properties such as conservation laws inunit of electron‑volts, in contrast to quantum‑wave‑based properties. (All ofthese are well understood and designed in all LED's, laser diodes, opticalsensors, solar cells, for example.)

授業内容とその進め方

授業時間外の学習（予習・復習等）

6th‑10th weeks:(4) General relationship from electrons to electron waves. That from lightwaves(em waves) to photons.
(5) Device's internal structures (of light‑emitting diodes and light‑absorbingsensors), and their working principles.
(6) Energy conversion law and general limits in energy‑conversion efficiency,from electronic energy to photonic energy. That in the opposite direction, thatis, from photonic energy to electronic energy.
11th‑15th weeks:(7) advanced groups of lasers, consisting of cavities and waveguides, which are
deeply and broadly used in advanced systems such as network infrastructures(terabit per second), optical‑disk memories (DVD&CD's), compact and accurate
laser diodes (from infrared to blue).
(8) high‑density light energy in time and 3D‑space dimensions (total fourdimensions), that is rather simply generated by laser oscillators inparticular. (Several kinds of experimental research are going on in our UEC
Both personal and group studies, efficiently before and after each weeklyclassroom, are encouraged.

6th period, Tuesdays. (Notify me Ueno by email, when I was not available in theperiod of tuesday.)
The number of participants to this course will be around 10, too, and, could beslightly less. So, this lecturer Ueno welcomes questions from participants
sometimes in the middle of 90 minutes, rather than after it. Your asking goodquestions to lecturer inspires the other participants, too, basically.
Lecturer Ueno's international activities:

photonics, opto‑electronics, quantum mechanics, electro‑magnetic waves, light‑emitting diodes (spontaneous emission), lasers (stimulated emission), opticalsensors, solar batteries, silicon, galium arsenide, semiconductor.
