Simulations of Rolled-up Optical Microcavities Using COMSOL Multiphysics® Software

Shilong Li [1],
[1] Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics (SITP), Shanghai, China

By using a combination of top-down and bottom-up strategies (see Fig. 1), rolled-up optical microcavities have gained considerable attention owing to their excellent customizability [1]. For example, the resonant spectrum of a rolled-up optical microcavity is well defined by simply ... Read More

Modeling Post Convection Cooling of High Power Waveguide

H. V. Dixit [1], A. R. Jadhav [2], Y. M. Jain [3], A. N. Cheeran [1], V. Gupta [2], P. K. Sharma [3],
[1] Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
[2] Vidyavardhini's College of Engineering and Technology, Vasai, Maharashtra, India
[3]Institute for Plasma Research, Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India

Waveguide Structures are often used for transmission of high CW power. The inherent conductor losses in the waveguide material lead to an increase in its temperature. If appropriate thermal management is not undertaken, this high temperature may lower the breakdown threshold of the ... Read More

Modeling of Nonuniform Magnetisation of a Ferrite Loaded Waveguide

[1] Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
[2] Vidyavardhini's College of Engineering and Technology, Vasai, Maharashtra, India
[3] Institute for Plasma Research, Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India

The modelling of a ferrite material is conventionally carried out using the Polder permeability tensor which assumes that the ferrite is saturated by a uniform magnetic field. This assumption is often inaccurate due to the constraints imposed by boundary conditions which renders the ... Read More

Design and Optimization of Multilayer Ideal Cloak

B. Choudhury [1], M.H. Jyothi [1], D. V. Bipin [1],
[1] Centre for electromagnetics, CSIR-National Aerospace Laboratories, Bangalore, Karnataka, India

The development in metamaterial science and technology has created many exhilarating applications from microwave to optical frequency region in which invisibility cloaking is one of the exciting application. In recent years, the RCS reduction characteristics through cloaking structures ... Read More

Finite Element Analysis of Contact Studies of Radio Frequency MEMs Switch Membranes

J. Liu [1], V. B. Chalivendra [1], C. Goldsmith [1], W. Huang [1]
[1] University of Massachusetts - Dartmouth, Dartmouth, MA, USA

Radio frequency (RF) micro-electro mechanical system (MEMS) switch works in on/off modes controlled by electrostatic forces. In off mode, rough surfaces of electrodes come into a contact. Membrane contact surfaces have complex surface roughness patterns and the mechanical contact problem ... Read More

Time Domain Reflectometry of a Water Tree inside an Underground Cable

K. Burkes [1],
[1] Savannah River National Laboratory, Jackson, SC, USA

This poster presents the electric field flowing through an insulated cable due to a high frequency voltage pulse in the presence of water trees. Read More

CSRR-Based Microwave Sensor for Measurement of Blood Creatinine Concentration Levels

Z. Ramsaroop [1], S. Rocke [1], N. Gayapersad [1], J. Persad [1],
[1] Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, The University of the West Indies, St. Augustine Campus, Trinidad and Tobago

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have globally become a prevalent problem, accounting for more than 60% of the mortality worldwide. NCDs impose socioeconomic consequences to low-income countries as 80% of NCD deaths occur in such countries [1, 2]. The World Health Organization has ... Read More

The antenna pattern synthesis problem is of the utmost importance in almost every kind of antenna applications. Therefore, a very large number of contributions have appeared on this subject. A number of different implementation methods are well known, and widely used. In this paper we ... Read More

Extraordinary Optical Transmission in Copper-Based Devices at Terahertz Frequencies

S. Almousa [1], J. A. Deibel [1],
[1] Department of Physics, Wright State University, Dayton, OH, USA

While low frequency light is poorly transmitted through an aperture in a conductive thin film, in the phenomenon known as extraordinary optical transmission (EOT), a narrow band of selected frequencies are transmitted when incident on an array of subwavelength periodic apertures where ... Read More
