Learners enrolled: 524
Lightwave technology and photonics played an important role in the progress of long-haul fiber optic communication systems. Recent advances in CMOS compatible silicon photonics technology has made it feasible for on-chip high-speed optical interconnects, biomedical lab-on-chip sensors, microwave photonics system-on-chip, linear optical quantum computing (LOQC) and highest degree of secured quantum key distribution (QKD) photonics chips with large-scale integrated components. In this course, students will learn theory of integrated optical waveguides and working principles of various integrated photonics devices (passive and active). The design rules and technology for large-scale photonic integrated circuits will be also addressed in this course.

Instructor bio

Prof. Bijoy Krishna Das

IIT Madras
Bijoy Krishna Das received his Master Degree in Solid State Physics from Vidyasagar University, West Bengal, India, in 1996, and Ph.D. Degree (Dr.rer.nat) in Applied Physics from the University of Paderborn, Germany in April 2003. From 1996 to 2006, he was working in the area of LiNbO3 based integrated optics, which includes three years of pre-doctoral research at Microelectronics Center, IIT Kharagpur, India; four years of doctoral research with the Department of Applied Physics, University of Paderborn, Germany; and three years of postdoctoral research in three different countries (Japan, USA and Germany). His first postdoctoral assignment was offered as an FRC Fellow with the Graduate School of Engineering, Osaka University, Osaka, Japan, from 2004 to 2005. He later moved for his second postdoctoral research at the Center for Optical Technologies, Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA, USA. In April 2005, he returned back to the University of Paderborn, where he joined as a Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter and continued his postdoctoral research on integrated nonlinear photonic devices. He also worked for a while with the Laboratoire Aime Cotton, CNRS, Orsay, France. Since August 2006, he has been with the Department of Electrical Engineering, IIT Madras, Chennai, India, where he is currently a full Professor. His current research interest is in the area of CMOS compatible silicon photonics integrated circuit design, fabrication and testing. He has published more than one hundred research articles in various International Journals and Proceedings of International Conferences.

Registration url: Announcements will be made when the registration form is open for registrations.
The online registration form has to be filled and the certification exam fee needs to be paid. More details will be made available when the exam registration form is published. If there are any changes, it will be mentioned then.
Please check the form for more details on the cities where the exams will be held, the conditions you agree to when you fill the form etc.

CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE

Average assignment score = 25% of average of best 8 assignments out of the total 12 assignments given in the course.
Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100

Final score = Average assignment score + Exam score

YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE ONLY IF AVERAGE ASSIGNMENT SCORE >=10/25 AND EXAM SCORE >= 30/75. If one of the 2 criteria is not met, you will not get the certificate even if the Final score >= 40/100.
