Objectives
The course of Optoelectronics intends to give the necessary tools to master students in materials engineering and micro and nanotecnologies engineering on how to select materials for optoelectronics, the form of the design and manufacture of devices and their integration in more complex systems. Will focus, therefore, an approach markedly applied, always attempting to ensure the identification of subjects with real physical systems, so that the average student is able to easily identify possible technological applications.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of Electromagnetism, differential Calculus, semiconductor Materials; Microelectronics.

Teaching method
Teaching discipline breaks down by theoretical and practical classes and laboratory sessions. In addition, there is tutorial teaching, provided accompaniment of students, subject to assessment, by oral discussion.
