Further recommended literature will be specified along with the corresponding lectures.

There is no prerequisites for admission to the module, attendance of ”Optoelectronics” and/or ”Semiconductor nanomaterials” modules is though recommended.

As an accompanying part of the lectures, the tutorials will provide students with practical examples, analyze the latest reported advancements, as well as will offer lab tours and/or demonstration experiments within the following topics:

     • Review of fundamentals of semiconductors and their optical properties

     • Aspects of semiconductor materials manufacturing and characterization

     • Modern semiconductor-based detectors for high-end fundamental and applied research (image detectors, single photon detectors, etc.)

     • Semiconductor based sources: classical (e.g., broad- and narrow-band sources) and quantum (e.g., low-dimensional structures and sources of single photons)

     • Overview of the latest technology advancements, including recently market-launched devices for high-end fundamental and applied research (e.g., quantum CMOS)

Master students of M.Sc. Physics (with focus „Optics”) and M.Sc. Photonics study programs
