The stream video links for Optical Waveguides and Quantum Well Lasers are now posted. Sorry for the delay. It took longer than expected for the computer support group to digitize the video.

You can find the link in the Schedule/Lecture page (right after the topics). For each subject, there are a low resolutio and a high resolution version (high resolution version for the 10/24/2005 lecture is still being digitized). You can try out both. Below are the trade-offs:

- Low resolution:

Cannot see my writing clearly, though the notes are available on the web. Sound quality is better, and you can view the video at home if you have high speed internet access. You can even play the video at 2x speed using Windows Media Player (WMP). (I tried that, it's not too bad if you are familiar with the subjects).

- High resolution:

My hand writing is clearer, but you would need > 1Mbps link speed (best viewed when you are on campus LAN). Even with high speed link, you still see some jerkyness due to the limited processor power of the digitizing PC. Some frames are dropped.

One more thing: the last 30 minutes of the 10/24 lecture was not recorded. The tape ran out and the operator was not there. So I actually spoke to a tapeless camera for 30 minutes. We will find a time to make up this section (lateral or two-dimensional waveguides). Luckily the Quantum well laser lecture does not depend on this part, so you can go in to the 10/26/lecture.
