Course Overview

Spread across six weeks, the Silicon Photonics Design, Fabrication, and Data Analysis by edX briefly deals with designing circuits and integrated optical devices using a proactive method with the knowledge of commercial tools. The state-of-the-art technology worth $5M is used to fabricate designs. The focus of this intermediate-level program is a design project that is guided by lectures, activities, and tutorials.

The Silicon Photonics Design, Fabrication, and Data Analysis program can be utilized by learners to obtain practical, hands-on experience with integrated topics. For instance, students need to obtain experimental data to get the design fabricated. An automated optical probe station will then measure the designs. The data obtained through this process is analyzed.

Developed by the University of British Columbia's top instructors, the Silicon Photonics Design, Fabrication, and Data Analysis certification course offerings include training with commercial software tool licenses provided in courses like MATLAB and Lumerical Solutions. Besides, some open-source alternatives are also offered. The certification signed by the University of British Columbia instructors upon the completion of the program will be given by the learners who opted for the paid mode and it can be shared on LinkedIn to develop a successful career in the industry with ease. The candidates who chose the free mode can also audit the programme for a limited period.

Instructors

The University of British Columbia, Vancouver Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

1: Will I get study materials?

Yes, you will receive notes, videos, and exercises to finish the course with ease. You may also purchase a textbook ‘Silicon Photonics Design’ by Lukas Chrostoski and Michael Hochberg that covers several key topics in training.

2: Can I just audit the course?

No, you cannot. You must pay the required program fee to access the course contents.

3: Who will be overseeing the fabrication and measurements?

The fabrication and measurements are undertaken by the University of Washington Nanofabrication Facility and Applied Nanotools Inc. and the University of British Columbia, respectively.

4: Will I receive a physical chip?

No. You will not receive any physical chip in the mail as only one chip is being manufactured for the course contents. The measurements will be carried out at UBC, and participants are free to purchase their own chips (if they want) during or after the completion.

5: How much time should I invest in?

As this Silicon Photonics Design, Fabrication, and Data Analysis course is based on design, a student might require to invest about 3-25 hours a week depending on their level of interest, project complexity, and background.s
