The goal of this paper is to compare the SAR and temperature distributions of omni-directional PIFA with ... Read More

Low Cost All Optical Swept Source for Optical Communication Applications

J. T. Andrews[1], S. Chaurasiya[1], O. P. Chaudhary[1], D. Agarwal[1]
[1]National MEMS Design, Department of Applied Physics, Shri G S Institute of Technology & Science, Indore Madhya Pradesh, India

By introducing a periodic modulation in a waveguide, it is possible to create an interaction between forward-traveling and backward-traveling modes of an optical waveguide. Bragg grating may be a one dimensional diffraction grating which diffracts light from the forward-traveling mode ... Read More

Tunable Fano-Resonance in Terahertz Metamaterials

B. R. Sangala[1], H. Surdi[1], P. Deshmukh[1], A. V. Gopal[1], S. S. Prabhu[1], G. Rana[2]
[1]Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
[2]Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

Terahertz radiation (THz) is defined to have frequencies from 0.1-10 THz (1 THz=1e12 Hz). This radiation lies between microwave and infrared radiations in the electromagnetic spectrum. Metamaterials are designed periodic materials that show exotic properties to light and sound. ... Read More

Dispersion Analysis in Coaxial Cables at High Frequencies

S. C. Hegde[1]
[1]VIT University, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India

The coaxial cable is one of the most commonly used bandwidth limited signal transmission line.Dispersion is a signal distortion phenomenon which arises due to frequency dependence of phase velocity of signal components. This phenomenon was explained through time domain approach by ... Read More

Commercial Special Fibers for Sensing Applications

G. Latha[1], P. Nair[1]
[1]SSN College of Engineering, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India

In a solid core PCF, structural parameters and the number of rings in the cladding region decide confinement losses, dispersion coefficients as well as bending losses. This paper evaluates some of commercially available solid core photonic crystal fibers. The dispersion coefficients and ... Read More

We theoretically studied the microwave coplanar line of different geometry based on MgO substrate with a thin (30 nm) ferroelectric layer under the external electric field using the environment of 3D modeling in COMSOL Multiphysics®, RF Module, Frequency Domain. Frequency dependence of ... Read More

Optical Forces and Torques Acting on Non-spherical Metallic Nanoparticles

M. Siler[1], O. Brzobohaty[1], V. Karasek[1], P. Zemanek[1]
[1]Inst. Scientific Instruments of the ASCR, Brno, Czech Republic

Metallic nanoparticles (NPs) are nowadays used in various areas of biology, chemistry or physics. Focused laser beams, optical tweezers, may be used to manipulate such NPs. However, experimental studies showed that there is a discrepancy between their predicted and observed behavior. ... Read More

Simulation of Light Coupling Reciprocity for a Photonic Grating

V. Kivijärvi[1], M. Erdmanis[1], I. Tittonen[1]
[1]Aalto University, Department of Micro- and Nanosciences, Espoo, Finland

SOI (Silicon on Insulator) technology utilizes silicon components on SiO2 layer. Propagating electric field distribution in a SOI waveguide is called mode of the waveguide. Photonic gratings are formed by etching grooves on the top of a waveguide. Gratings can operate in two directions. ... Read More
