Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors proved themselves as a promising device for many kinds of applications such as optical biosensing, binding constant determinationor nanofilm thickness measurements. Here we simulate using COMSOL Multiphysics® the light-polaritons coupling for the ... Read More

One of the most promising categories of semiconductor-based sensors is organic electrochemical transistor (OECT), which consists of three electrodes (Source, Drain and Gate) and two active layers: electrolyte and conductive polymer. Despite the fact that OECT attracts a lot of attention ... Read More

In this work the authors report on a CFD simulation of a pipe flow model. Fluid mechanics are here combined with heat transfer phenomena. To create a mathematical model of a pulsed hot wire system i.e., the thermo-fluidic impulse response of a pulsed hot wire, a simulation model is going ... Read More

The use of optical sensors in the industry is still growing. A transmission of signal from the sensors is mostly done by optical fibers. Switching the signals from optical paths may be done by using micromechanical silicon switches. The main advantage is an ability to transmit data from ... Read More

Accelerometers are successfully commercialized MEMS devices. COMSOL Multiphysics® has been used in the modeling, simulation and optimizing of this design. The piezoresistive accelerometer is made up of a square proof mass with flexures supporting it. The piezoresistors are placed near ... Read More
