Topics covered include CPLD and FPGA architectures, real-world digital design difficulties (timing, noise, etc.), the design and implementation of combinatorial, sequential, and SSI / MSI / LSI circuits, algorithmic state machines, and simple CPUs.
Prerequisite: PHY 4330/PHY 5330 or the equivalent.
Lecture three hours, laboratory three hours

PHY 5435 - Laboratory Automation (4)
When Offered: Spring
A rigorous applications-oriented course designed to foster an in-depth understanding of both the hardware and software aspects of laboratory automation. Personal computers are used to control laboratory instruments, collect and analyze data, and plot results. Topics covered include the use of data acquisition and control cards, serial and IEEE-488 interfacing, and coordinated data collection and control. State-of-the-art data acquisition languages are used extensively in the laboratory.
Prerequisite: PHY 5330 and either PHY 5020 or PHY 5735 .
Lecture three hours, laboratory three hours

PHY 5620 - Optics (4)
When Offered: Fall
A rigorous introduction to geometric and wave optics with applications including lasers, interferometers, spectroscopy, telescopes, fiber optics, and remote sensing. Basic electromagnetic wave theory is employed to describe the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter including absorption, dispersion, reflection, and scattering. Geometric optics is employed to study image formation by optical systems using both ray-tracing and matrix optics methods. Wave optics is used to study interference, diffraction, and coherence. This leads into a detailed lab-based unit dealing with interferometry and optical system alignment, with applications to optical component testing, spectral analysis of light sources, and coherence. The course also includes a semester synthesis project.
Prerequisite: PHY 3001. Analytical Methods in Physics or equivalent (with a grade of “C” or higher) or permission of instructor.
Lecture three hours, laboratory three hours [Dual-listed with PHY 4620.]
