Objectives

• Practice in theoretical model calculations. The engineer should learn to understand basics and fundamental interaction of effects by a variation of geometric and material parameters
• The student will learn how to design advanced photonic devices
• Introduction to scientific work. The engineer learns how to analyze and to interpret calculated theoretical data
• To structure the analyzed data and parameter series in such a way that the uninvolved reader can understand and follow the argumentation
• Methodology of project organization and project management, team work.

Competences to be acquired

• To create new or modify existing models according to the given problem
• To analyze data series with respect to the given problem
• To experience synergies in knowledge during the comparison and analysis of theoretical and experimental data
• Introduction into appropriate scientific working.

What you will gain from the practicum

• Theoretical model calculation using advanced software tools on problems at the research front
• Example: calculation of laser spectra with the goal to optimize and design an advanced VCSEL with complex coupling (real and imaginary part in refractive index). This is done for a novel hybrid structure combining inorganic and organic materials
• Variation of basic parameters, like Δn, measurements and evaluation of different characteristics
• The simulations are defined according to general and actual problems in optoelectronics and are related to research topics of the working group

Course prerequisite

Profound knowledge in optoelectronics

Literature

Scientific papers/books according to project topics.
