EL ENG 236A – Quantum and Optical Electronics:

Fall 2025

Course Description: Interaction of radiation with atomic and semiconductor systems, density matrix treatment, semiclassical laser theory (Lamb’s), laser resonators, specific laser systems, laser dynamics, Q-switching and mode-locking, noise in lasers and optical amplifiers. Nonlinear optics, phase-conjugation, electrooptics, acoustooptics and magnetooptics, coherent optics, stimulated Raman and Brillouin scattering.

EL ENG 134/234A – Fundamentals of Photovoltaic Devices:

Spring 2025

This course is designed to give an introduction, and overview of, the fundamentals of photovoltaic devices. Students will learn how solar cells work, understand the concepts and models of solar cell device physics, and formulate and solve relevant physical problems related to photovoltaic devices. Monocrystalline, thin film and third generation solar cells will be discussed and analyzed. Light management and economic considerations in a solar cell system will also be covered.
