Purpose and objective Goals
|
Based on quantum theory, which is the foundation of modern science, students study the foundation of electronic properties with a focus on the behavior of electrons and the basic knowledge required to understand the electronic properties of solids and acquired from the viewpoints of electrons, atoms, molecules and crystals.
The electron-photon interaction process and the operating principle of laser devices, which are the keys for studying photonics, are learned. Students also study foundational properties of light waves based on Maxwell’s equations. Additionally, main photonic devices for optical communication systems are learned.
[Educational Objectives]
(C) Acquire technical knowledge required for engineers in the electrical, electronics and information engineering field
(C-1) Acquire basic technical knowledge required for engineers in all three fields: electric energy system and control engineering, electronic devices and photonics engineering, and information, telecommunication and control systems.
[Goals]
- Study a history of the development of the quantum theory
- Understand the states of quantization and discretization
- Understand the Schrodinger equation
- Understand the atomic structure
- Understand the chemical bond and crystal structure.
- Understand the energy band structure of solids
- Understand the basic properties of metals, semiconductors and insulators
- Understand the operating principle of lasers.
- Understand the foundational properties of light waves including polarization, refraction, and reflection.

Contents and method
|
[The first half]
First, quantum theory is outlined as the foundation of electronic property with a focus on the history of the development of quantum theory. Next, lectures are given on atomic structures, crystal structures, and energy band structuress. Lectures on the behavior and role of electrons in the properties of materials, semiconductors, dielectric materials, and magnetic materials are also given. Teaching materials are provided in the class. By working through the exercise problems, understanding is further deepened.
[The latter half]
First, the foundation of electron-photon interactions, the operating principle of lasers, and the properties of laser beams are outlined. Next, students study properties of light waves based on Maxwell’s equations. Photodetectors, optical fibers, optical amplifiers, and optical modulators, which are primary devices for optical communication system, are also outlined. Teaching materials with the exercise problems are provided in the class.

Evaluation method and Assessment points
|
The final grade is determined by the results of examinations of W1 to 7 (50%) and of W9 to 15 (50%). Students have to get grades of more than 60% in each of the examinations. Students who scored less than 60% in each of the examination may have to take a makeup test. Students who failed in the examinations have to take the whole lecture again in the next year. No academic credit is granted to students who have low attendance rates or do not complete the research projects. The information in this course is the foundation of electronic devices and photonics engineering but covers a wide range. It is impossible to understand them and retain an understanding simply by attending lectures. Therefore, preparations for and reviews of the classes are essential.
