  1. 1. Ray Tracing Algorithm for Dielectric Domes

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Maria Pubill; [2023]
    Keywords : Array antenna; dielectric dome; Ray-Tracing; reflection; absorption losses; matching layers; Arrayantenn; dielektrisk kupol; strålföljning; reflektion; absorptionsförluster; anpassningsskikt;

    Abstract : Almost hemispherical scanning capabilities are required for modern wireless communication systems to produce broad coverage without performance degradation. Phased array antennas are commonly used as a fully-electronic beam-steering solution for its rapidity in beam switching. READ MORE

  3. 2. Numerical simulations of ultrafast dynamics in plasmonic nanostructures

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Nils Henriksson; [2023]
    Keywords : Ultrafast nanophotonics; Three temperature model; Numerical simulations;

    Abstract : Plasmonic effects in nanosized particles enhance the interaction between light and matter due to the localized surface plasmon resonance, with potential applications such as all-optical transistors and optical computers. Commonly, the dynamics of nanoparticles’ optical properties are assessed via pump-probe spectroscopy, where a plasmonic structure is exited by an initial laser, the pump. READ MORE

  4. 3. Optical Detector for Microfluidics

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för informationsteknologi

    Author : Carlos Gómez Jiménez; Jaime Gómez Jiménez; [2022]
    Keywords : Serial crystallography; Microfluidic device; Optical detector; Particle counting;

    Abstract : This project arose from the need to filter the sampled data and eliminate non-useful information in Serial Crystallography in Microfluidic Device (MFD)by using a portable optical detector placed around the channel. By testing sixteen different configurations, always using an LED as a source and a photodiode as a light sensor, changes in the channel due to the passage of air bubbles were detected. READ MORE

  5. 4. Investigating the use of Semiconductor Nanowires for Neural Networks

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Synkrotronljusfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Alfredo Serafini; [2022]
    Keywords : FDTD method and simulation; optical broadcasting neural network; optical communication of nanowires; sub-wavelength absorption.; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In this work, we intend to employ nanowires for the realisation of an artificial neuron which can be used to design a neural network that will guide the new generation of non-von Neumann architectures such as Neuromorphic Computing. Possible applications are strongly related to Neuromorphic architectures and artificial intelligence, such as high-performance computers, robotics hardware and autonomous drones. READ MORE

  6. 5. Correlating Photoconductivity with Photochromism in Oxygen-containing Rare-earth Metal Hydride Thin Films

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Materialfysik

    Author : Suraya Kazi; [2021]
    Keywords : Rare-earth metal hydride; Thin film synthesis; Thin film characterization; Optical properties; Electrical properties; Chemical composition; Photochromic materials; Photoconductivity;

    Abstract : Scientists have recently discovered simultaneous photoconductivity and photochromism (i.e., optical switching upon light exposure) of oxygen-containing rare-earth metal hydrides (REMHO). A deep understanding of these extraordinary optical and electrical properties can open the door to advanced technological uses such as smart windows. READ MORE
