  • ECE 5412: Fund of Optoelectronics

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    This is an introductory lecture course to the fundamental principles of semiconductor optoelectronic devices. Together with ECE 5410, these two courses provide a full introduction to fundamentals of optics and optoelectronics. This course will first review basic elements of quantum mechanics, light-matter interaction, and semiconductor physics. After that, we will study modern optoelectronic devices for the generation, detection, and modulation of light. Device examples include laser diodes, light-emitting diodes, optical modulators, photoconductors and photodiodes. At the end of this course, cutting-edge research such as optical machine learning hardware will be introduced. Prerequisites: 'C-' or better in (ECE 3200 OR ECE 3300) AND NOT on ECE Monitoring Group

  • ECE 5475: Computational Photo

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    In this project-based class, the students will learn to: (1) build a simple imaging system using the arducam (or similar camera); (2) apply simple and not-so-simple image processing algorithms to your images; (3) build a machine-learning algorithm to recognize (classify) objects; and (4) explore unconventional cameras such as lens-free cameras, multi-spectral cameras, depth cameras, etc. The students are expected to work in small teams, and will need to purchase arducam (or similar low cost) camera modules. Prior knowledge of python or matlab will be useful. The class is offered in a hybrid format, where meetings in the instructor's lab and on synchronized meetings on zoom will be interspersed throughout the semester. All resources, required code, documentation, papers will be provided. There is no single textbook. Prerequisites: Major status in Electrical or Computer Engineering AND NOT on ECE Monitoring Group
