Important Announcement 1:Test schedule A Test on LED and laser will be conducted on: 26th September 40 objective questions
Assignments and Tests • Group activity 1 (presentation only) = 25% - done • Group activity 2 (open book test) = 25% • Test I = 25% • Test 2 = 25%
Information about the exam Please study the pass year paper and all of the ‘typical exam questions’ presented to you in the lectures. There will be 3.5 questions from Optoelectronics Part. Compulsory for you to answer 2 questions from both part A and B. Then choose one question from any parts.
Lecture: Laser Objectives (by the end of the lectures on laser student will be…) Able to state the definition of laser Able to state the principle of population inversion Able to explain the principle of semiconducting laser Familiarise with the concept of light simulation and polarisation Able to list down all materials criteria and materials selection for a given semiconducting laser compound. Able to highlight several examples of the application of laser.
