for 2008 new short Courses 1:00 p.m.–:00 p.m. SC1: OLEDS — Basic Concepts of Organic Electronic Devices; Marc Baldo and Vladimir Bulovic, MIT, USA CATEgORy: Organic and Inorganic LEDs for SolidState Lighting and Displays bEnEFiTS And LEARning ObJECTivES This course should enable participants to: ● Define the basic concepts underlying the design and fabrication of organic light emitting devices and organic photovoltaic cells. ● Summarize the differences between organic semiconductors and conventional semiconductors, in particular the consequences of van der Waals bonding. ● Examine the state-of-the-art of organic electronics technology. ● Differentiate the fundamental benefits and limitations of the organic materials. ● Investigate new manufacturing paradigms enabled through use of organic materials. ● Compare some successful start-up companies and their brief lessons. inTEndEd AudiEnCE The course is suitable for a general audience. No specific knowledge of chemistry is required. mOndAy, mAy 9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. SC19: Quantum Dot Laser Diodes; Peter Blood, Cardiff Univ., UK CATEgORy: Semiconductor Lasers bEnEFiTS And LEARning ObJECTivES This course should enable participants to: ● Describe typical quantum dot laser structures. ● Identify distinctive performance characteristics and significant application areas. ● Describe and explain the gain and recombination processes in quantum dots. ● Discuss and interpret device characteristics. ● Summarize the current state-of-the-art in their development and identify areas which need further research. inTEndEd AudiEnCE The course is intended for graduate students and research staff with science and engineering backgrounds, in academia or industry, who are newcomers to research and development on quantum dot lasers, or who wish to gain an overview of the current status of the field. A basic knowledge of the principles of operation of diode lasers is assumed and a background knowledge of semiconductor physics would be helpful. ADvANCE rEgIS TrATION DEADLINE: aPrIl 9, 2008 19
