        Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are coherent oscillations of electrons at a metal-dielectric interface coupled to electromagnetic fields [1]. SPPs offer highly confined fields resulting in larger field amplitude and enhanced light-matter interactions. Control and manipulation ... En savoir plus

We present a study of an optofluidic biosensor. The sensor operates in a transmission mode wherein detection is based on a shift in the transmission spectrum caused by the contrast in refractive index between the carrier fluid and the target biomaterial. We study the behavior of the ... En savoir plus

Parametric finite element simulations were performed to study the effect of film thickness, and electrode size on the different impedance parameters for insulating thin films deposited on a conductive substrate. COMSOL Multiphysics® was used to solve the quasi-static form of Maxwell’s ... En savoir plus

This paper presents the quasi-TEM two-dimensional (2D) approach for the analysis of multiconductor transmission lines interconnect in single and two-layered dielectric region using the finite element method (FEM). FEM is especially suitable and effective for the computation of ... En savoir plus

One of the primary reasons for large power fluctuations in smelting furnaces is loss of contact between the electrode and ore. Therefore one of the important aspects of controlling power fluctuations is a predictive algorithm for the positioning of the electrode. We propose a model ... En savoir plus

Plasmonic-based optical trapping is in its infancy and growing rapidly. Research in this area will significantly advance fundamental understanding in fields such as nanophotonics and biophotonics. Novel plasmonic trapping structures and systems can be designed and optimized using the ... En savoir plus

As the application of nanoscale structures becomes increasingly commonplace in modern technologies, the comprehensive modelling of the subject has taken centre stage in its understanding. Take the modern application of nanoscale texturing for optical anti-reflectance as an example here; ... En savoir plus

Surface plasmon polaritons are electromagnetic modes excited at the conducting-dielectric interface owing to the resonant interaction between incident photons and free electrons at the conducting surface. Plasmonic resonances confine optical power at subwavelength scales, which allows ... En savoir plus

This work explores the implications of wholly random and non-linear nanostructures on electromagnetic wave propagation within a multiphysics simulation environment. Showcased is a way to noticeably bypass the inaccuracies drawn from the linearity dependency of traditional simulation ... En savoir plus

For the development of a Permanent Magnetic Synchronous Machine (PMSM), optimization of design variables, e.g. the size of an air gap, is performed. When applied to optical instruments in space environment, the motor has to be designed for ultra high vacuum (UHV) and cryogenic ... En savoir plus
