• Website: www-inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~ee232/sp18/
– All lecture notes, homeworks will be posted there
– HW and exam scores will be posted in bCourses
– Discussion in Piazza
• Instructor:
– Prof. Ming Wu (511 SDH, wu@eecs)
– GSI: Kevin Han (kyh@eecs)
• PREREQUISSITES
– EECS 130: Simple p-n junction, semiconductor physics, concept of
energy bands, Fermi levels.
– PHYS 137A: recommended. Basic concept of quantum mechanics,
perturbation theory
– EECS 117: recommended. Concept of dielectric waveguide,
electromagnetic waves.
• Final Exam
– At Last lecture
• HW/Project policy
– Discussion is permitted (and encouraged), but you must do
your own HW, including literature search, derivation, or
calculation.
– The subject of your project should not be exactly the same as
other students
• Discussion Session
– GSI, Kevin Han, will go over introduction to Lumerical
simulation tool, and discuss various design examples
– Attendance is mandatory since the materials do not
overlap with lecture materials
– Bring your laptop (Lumerical will be installed on your
laptop)
• Project
– Project will include design and simulation of new
optoelectronic devices or circuits. The passive optical
components need to be simulated using Lumerical.
– Some examples will be given in discussion session.
The Nobel Prize in Physics 2000 was awarded "for basic work on
information and communication technology" with one half jointly to Zhores
I. Alferov and Herbert Kroemer "for developing semiconductor
heterostructures used in high-speed- and opto-electronics" and the other
half to Jack S. Kilby "for his part in the invention of the integrated circuit".

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2014
The Nobel Prize in Physics 2014 was awarded jointly to
Isamu Akasaki, Hiroshi Amano and Shuji Nakamura
"for the invention of efficient blue light-emitting diodes which has
enabled bright and energy-saving white light sources".
