The syllabus of M Tech Scheme VLSI 3rd Sem offered by RGPV (Rajiv Gandhi Proudyogiki Vishwavidyalaya) on which the question paper is based is as follows:

MEVD – 301(A) Opto-Electronics Integrated Circuits

Unit I
Theory of Optical Wave guides: Wave guide theory : one dimensional planar wave guides, two dimensional wave guides, transcendental equations, wave guide modes, mode cutoff conditions.

Unit II
Optical Wave guide Fabrication and Characterization: Waveguide fabrication: deposited films; vacuum-deposition and solution-deposition, diffused waveguides, ion-exchange and ion-implanted waveguides, epitaxial growth of III-V compound semiconductor materials, shaping of waveguides by wet and dry etching techniques. Waveguide characterization: surface scattering and absorption losses, radiation and bending losses, measurement of waveguide loss, waveguide profiling.

Unit III
Fundamentals of Optical Coupling: Transverse couplers. Prism couplers. Grating couplers. Fiber to waveguide couplers. Coupling between optical waveguides. Directional couplers. Applications of directional couplers

Unit IV
Guided Wave Modulators and Switches: Physical effects used in light modulators :
electro-optic, acousto-optic and magneto-optic effects. Waveguide modulators and
switches.

Unit V
Semiconductor Lasers and Detectors: Laser diodes. Distributed feedback lasers.
Integrated optical detectors

Unit VI
Recent Progress in Integrated Optics: State-of-the-art technology in guided wave devices and applications, e.g. photonic switching, tunable laser diodes, optical integrated circuits.
