Delivered by Dr. Ahmed Farghal for Faculty of Electronic Engineering
at Menoufia University
SPRING 2019
This course is designed to introduce the senior undergraduate students to basics of modern optoelectronic devices, which are appearing everywhere in our daily life, including lasers, light emitting diodes (LEDs), optical fibers and fiber-optic communication devices, liquid crystal displays (LCDs), photodetectors (including CCD image sensors), and Photovoltaic Devices (solar cells). The emphasis is placed on the basic device structures, operating principles, and real-world application.
