Optical materials, elements and technologies are the focus of this course. Inorganic or organic optical materials are defined by their optical properties, radiation durability under ultraviolet and solar irradiation, and ancillary properties required for robust application. Optical elements of, for example, photolithography (as used in the semiconductor industry) include photomasks, pellicles, and imaging fluids. Photovoltaics (PV) have reflective, refractive, anti-reflective, or encapsulating elements. To produce the desired optical function, both photolithography and photovoltaics rely on the structure-property relationships of materials and precise manufacturing methods. Ancillary properties of interest are latent image formation and development for photoresists and adhesion and environmental isolation for PV encapsulants. We will see how photolithography has been the dominant contributor to the continuous shrinkage of semiconductors, and, with photovoltaics, we will examine how PVs compete with current energy sources by potentially reducing the cost per kWh through technological advancement. Optimization of the optical, physical and economic performance of these materials and elements, including sufficient durability over their required lifetime, is a critical challenge for technological success. Higher performance materials and novel optical elements and system designs, coupled with increased PV module lifetimes and lower degradation rates, are important paths to cost-competitive PV electricity. We will also study the manner in which the evolution of technology has defined and driven the roadmaps of these optical technologies (Moore's Law). The course will include two computational optics labs to design state-of-the-art optical technologies for photolithographic imaging of sub-wavelength semiconductor device feature sizes, and of non-imaging concentrating photovoltaic systems with high optical efficiencies.
