Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers
Program Overview
Program Overview
The Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers program is designed to help engineers working for manufacturers in Singapore understand underlying design and process issues for the most commonly used lasers for fiber optic datacom and improve productivity through this understanding.
Program Details
Date: To be confirmed
Duration: 24.5 Hours
Mode Of Delivery: Face-to-Face
Tuition Fees: S$3675.00 (Before GST)
What You Will Learn
Microelectronics form about a third of Singapore’s total manufacturing output, and optoelectronics components in particular are becoming more and more important because of the drive for greater data connection speeds. This course will help engineers working for manufacturers in Singapore understand underlying design and process issues for the most commonly used lasers for fiber optic datacom and improve productivity through this understanding.
At the end of the programme, the participants will be able to:
- Be able to understand a VCSEL epitaxial structure
- Be able to understand quantum wells
- Be able to understand and describe VCSEL fabrication procedures
- Be able to describe important characteristics of VCSELs and how they are measured
- Be able to understand what can go wrong during VCSEL fabrication
