A fast, high-sensitivity detector is required for studies of environmentally relevant gases. Photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS), an absorption spectroscopy technique in which absorption is detected as sound, is explored as a possible solution. A tuning-fork based PAS sensor is modeled ... Read More
We describe the modeling of microdisk lasers displaying vertical emission. The devices are THz quantum cascade lasers with metallic gratings fabricated along the circumference. The emission properties of the fabricated devices are well explained by the model, good mode control is ... Read More
We present time-resolved methods that rely on near-infrared photons to image the optical properties and distribution of fluorescent probes in small laboratory animals. The coupled diffusion equations of excitation and fluorescence photons in highly scattering tissues were solved using ... Read More
COMSOL Multiphysics® was used to evaluate the performance of a woofer coupled to an automotive door. Two uses cases were considered: rigid and non-rigid door structures. Using the Structural Mechanics Module, the speaker membrane displacement was computed for both cases from 20Hz to 500 ... Read More
The radiation force effects on the surface displacement can be calculated by solving the Navier-Stokes equation with appropriated boundary conditions. The surface deformation can be described by the radiation pressure as well as those forces due to gravity and surface tension. We used ... Read More
For biocompatible prosthetics, from dental implants up to bone parts, manufacturers have to find the best way to correlate process parameters and the material properties as to meet the unique needs of individuals. Additive manufacturing techniques aim at creating complex biocompatible ... Read More
In recent years, optical manipulation using optical radiation pressure has been widely studied. In this study, the radiation pressure exerted on various kinds of microscopic objects with different laser beams was evaluated by COMSOL Multiphysics software. By changing beam shapes, ... Read More
Optical wave interference can perform instantaneous operations, such as: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and more complex operations like Fourier transform [1]. Being able to develop an optical computer that directly executes these operations without the need for a digital ... Read More
This paper presents and discusses the first phase results of a wide ranging project concerning the study and prediction of the efficiency and energy performances of natural ventilation systems existing inside historic buildings. The air flow patterns, air temperature and air velocity ... Read More
Fiber optic sensors have been designed for applications ranging from simple proximity detectors to state of the art inertial navigation systems. The optical sensing technique used in each of these applications depends primarily on the requirements. Fiber Bragg Grating Laser (FBGL) based ... Read More
