    This course covers the essential concepts and applications of digital electronics circuits, including NMOS, CMOS and BiCMOS technologies. After a basic review of MOSFET devices, NMOS and CMOS inverters are studied from both static and dynamic points of view. Design of combinational and sequential logic networks using NMOS and CMOS technologies is discussed. Dynamic CMOS logic networks, including precharge-evaluate, domino and transmission gate techniques are studied. The discussion of TTL NAND and ECL gates is included for historical reasons. Several special topics are studied as extensions of the foregoing topics, including static and dynamic MOS memory, low power logic, and BiCMOS inverters and logic.

    This course provides a broad overview of modern optics in preparation for more advanced courses in the rapidly developing fi elds of lasers, fi ber optics and non-linear optics. Topics covered: propagation of light, geometrical optics, polarization, interferometry, diffraction, and laser resonators. Introduction to non-linear optics: harmonic generation, optical parametric oscillators and amplifi ers. At the end of the quarter, the students should have a fi rm foundation in classical optics. Lasers and non-linear optics will be introduced from a semi-classical perspective and will not require a quantum mechanical background. Students will write a paper on a topic of current research interest in the fi eld. (0301-474) Class 4, Credit 4
