Semiconductor Optics

Friday, 11:30 - 13:00
Room MS 3.2

Target audience:

• Physics Master's program 
• QTEC Master's program 

The semiconductor optics lecture reviews and deepens the fundamentals of solid-state physics, quantum physics, and optics in order to gain insight into the optical properties of semiconductors. One focus is on highly topical 2D semiconductors, such as transition metal dichalcogenides.

• Phonons
• Semiconductor band structure
• Bulk semiconductors
• Heterostructures and quantum wells
• Macroscopic optical properties
• Interband absorption
• Excitons and luminescence
• Lasers and polaritons
• 2D materials
• Heterostructures of 2D materials
• Current research topics in 2D materials
