ression for the variation of excess carriers concentration with distance and time
2. Explain the principle of superposition and hence derive an expression for maximum
irradiance resulting from four coherent sources.
3. Discuss the powder methed of crystal structure analysis.
Unit II
1. Explain the principle, construction and working of an Electro luminescence device with
necessary diagrams.
2. Discuss the theory of mode locking in laser, with next diagrams and hence derive an
expression for irradiance in a mode locked laser.

modulator. Also deduce the expression of modulated light.
2. Discus in detail the principle and operation of a photonic switch based on Self electro optic
Device (SEED).
