Topic: Optical Sources and Detectors

___________________________________________________________________

1) Make your journal/file where you have to reflect the learning in your own language and
you need to submit it topic wise for optical sources and optical detectors.

Ans:
TOPIC FILE ATTACHED
Optical Source CO17554_Optical Sources.pdf
Photo detector CO17554_Optical Detectors.pdf
2) Create concept maps for optical sources.
3) Construct a table for typical values of light emitting semiconductors

Material Emitting Wavelength Range Bandgap Energy

(μm) (eV)
AlGaInP 0.61 – 0.68 1.82 – 1.94
GaAs 0.9 1.4
AlGaAs 0.8 – 0.9 1.4 – 1.55
InGaAs 1.0 – 1.3 0.95 – 1.24
InGaAsP 0.9 – 1.7 0.73 – 1.35

4) Simulate / create a program to calculate –

a) Typical spectral line/ responsively width for edge- and surface-emitting LEDs at
1310 nm
b) Responsivity / Quantum efficiency of photo diode
in open source software or Scilab/ Matlab. And reflect in your practical file and
submit it online too.

5) Create concept maps for Optical detectors.
6) Numerical: A photodiode is made with p-type Ge doped with 10^ 23 Ga atoms/m^3 and n-
type Ge with 10^ 22 As atoms/m^3. For Ge, k = 16. The intrinsic carrier concentration of
Ge at 300 K is given by ni = 2.5* 10^19. Calculate the width of the depletion layers and the
charge transfer per unit area at 300 K.
