EE 3C4 Electromagnetism and Optoelectronics: An Introduction at Trinity College; This course transfers to ND as EE 34348 AND EE34358 which are taken together as co-requisities for 3 credits each. This course runs for the second semester and comprises of three lectures plus one tutorial per week. The total number of contact hours per student is 44. Electromagnetism and Optoelectronics is a one semester course taken by Junior Sophister C stream students. The course is taught in two parts. The first deals with the physical principles of electromagnetism and electromagnetic waves. In the second part is an introduction to optoelectronics. Its objective is to give students an understanding of electromagnetism with application to optoelectronics. The course provides students with a basis for understanding the technology of optoelectronics and its application to high speed information technology, specifically, optical fibre communications. Electromagnetism Starting from Coulomb's law of force between charges, this course develops the basic equations of electrostatics including Laplace's and Poisson's equations for the electrostatic potentials in space. Following this, the situation where the charges are allowed to move is considered and students then discuss the continuity equation for the current. Next the concept of electromotive force is developed. Magnetism is then introduced via the Biot-Savart law, and Amperes theorem is proven. Following this, the mathematical statements of Faraday's and Lenz's laws are given and it is explained how Maxwell modified Amperes theorem to account for the observed current in a capacative circuit. Thence the six Maxwell equations in both differential and integral form are given. Whence we proceed to Poyntings's theorem and give an elementary account of the Hertzian dipole. Experiments which attempted to demonstrate the existence of the aether are recounted and an elementary account of the Lorentz transformations and special relativity is given. Finally, Maxwell's equations in a medium are briefly treated and the analogy with a transmission line is explained. Optoelectronics. This is an introductory course which builds on the students' knowledge of electromagnetic waves as developed in the Electromagnetism part of the course. The course examines the interaction of light and matter starting with the solution of Maxwell's wave equation. Consideration of reflected and transmitted of light intensity at an interface is applied to light extraction from a semiconductor light emitter, fibre optics and wave plates. Wave interference is described and applied to interference filters and an optical resonator, with its implication for longitudinal modes in a laser. Some quantum mechanics is introduced to describe the emission and absorption of light and the quantisation of energy in matter. Optoelectronic semiconductor materials are then described through their band structure, with emphasis on the requirements for optically efficient semiconductor emitters. These elements are brought together in the description of the optical and electrical characteristics of simple optoelectronic devices. Teaching strategies
