Course Description
Covers basic theory of light-matter interaction.
Prerequisites: EE231 or instructor permission (some background in quantum mechanics is needed).
ADDITIONAL TOPICS in 2007:
Nanotransistors, Nanoscale heat conduction
Intended audience: Graduate or advanced undergraduate students.
Course Expectations
Learning occurs by the active involvement of the student. The student is
expected to come to class prepared to think and learn. To get the most out of
this class, you need to read the assigned sections
in the textbook and supplemental material before coming to class.
Study Suggestions for Engineering Courses
1) Do the reading before each lecture.
2) Read with a pencil and paper and try to do all the examples before you read
their solutions. This is very valuable.
3) Seriously engage with all the homework/exercise problems, try them all
before you work with someone else. There is no substitute for doing lots of
problems to learn this material.
4) You need to be able to figure out what you don't understand and then ask
your fellow students or the instructor for help if you cannot figure it out on
your own.
5) Take notes and review them before lecture.
6) You are encouraged to work in groups and discuss about the homework
assignments. However, each has to write his/her own solution and fully
understand them
Laboratories
There will be some lab demonstrations in BE162.
