Construction and generation of OCDMA code families using a complete row-wise orthogonal pairs algorithm

A new code construction algorithm for incoherent Multi-Dimensional Optical Code Division Multiple Access (MD-OCDMA) for asynchronous fiber optic communication is proposed. We refer multi-dimensionality to two-dimensional (2D) wavelength–time or space–time domains and three-dimensional (3D) space–wavelength–time domains. The application of the algorithm in constructing 2D multiple pulses per row codes and 3D multiple pulses per plane codes is given. The performance of the codes is discussed. In the applications discussed, this construction ensures a maximum crosscorrelation of 1 between any two codes. The proposed codes have complete 1D code allocation, which increases the cardinality. The performance of some codes in literature is compared with the proposed codes. The analyzed performance measure is bit error rate due to multiple access interference for different numbers of active users. The performance analysis shows that the proposed 2D construction offers very low bit error rate at lower spectral efficiency when compared with other 2D constructions. A comparison of the proposed 3D construction with existing 3D constructions shows lower bit error rate for equivalent code dimension. New integrated optic designs for the generation of OCDMA codes using titanium indiffused lithium niobate technology are explored, which can enable compact encoders and decoders for computer communications.

Generation of new longitudinal modes in an amplifying dye solution

A novel phenomenon is reported for the first time that the generation of the newlongitudinal modes in amplifying multi-longitudinal mode laser in a dye amplifier.The newmodes are located on the violet side within the gain band of the amplifing medium.The phe-nomenon is explained by the theory of third-order nonlinear polarization in the case of four-wave resonances.The intensity of the new modes created are comparable with or even higherthan that of the original modes.The effect can be expected to serve as a new method for ex-tention of spectral tuning ranges of laser.     

A theory for grain boundaries with strain-gradient plasticity

In this work, the effect of the material microstructural interface between two materials (i.e., grain boundary in polycrystalls) is adopted into a thermodynamic-based higher order strain gradient plasticity framework. The developed grain boundary flow rule accounts for the energy storage at the grain boundary due to the dislocation pile up as well as energy dissipation caused by the dislocation transfer through the grain boundary. The theory is developed based on the decomposition of the thermodynamic conjugate forces into energetic and dissipative counterparts which provides the constitutive equations to have both energetic and dissipative gradient length scales for the grain and grain boundary. The numerical solution for the proposed framework is also presented here within the finite element context. The material parameters of the gradient framework are also calibrated using an extensive set of micro-scale experimental measurements of thin metal films over a wide range of size and temperature of the samples.     

Head-on collision of solitary waves in coupled Korteweg–de Vries systems modeling nonlinear transmission lines

The extended Poincaré–Lighthill–Kuo (PLK) method is applied to characterize head-on collisions of solitary waves in a coupled Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) system that has multiple modes supporting solitons. As a simple physically realizable system, we investigate two coupled electrical nonlinear transmission lines (NLTLs), and the proposed method successfully leads to the collision-induced phase shifts and the wave equation that governs the dynamics of the pulses generated by colliding solitary waves.     

The second harmonic generation in GaAs/GaAlAs spherical quantum dots under Woods-Saxon plus attractive inversely quadratic potential

We examine the profile of second harmonic generation (SHG) for GaAs/GaAlAs spherical quantum dots (QDs) of Woods-Saxon (WS) plus attractive inversely quadratic (AIQ) potential under the joint influence of additional factors (pressure and temperature) and structural parameters (strengths and radius). The energies and wave functions in GaAs/GaAlAs spherical QDs under WS-AIQ limiting potential are calculated using the parametric Nikiforov-Uvarov (NU) method. Depending on the calculated energies and corresponding wave functions, the SHG coefficient is examined by the iterative procedure in the density matrix method for this system. Finally, the calculated results display that a strong SHG coefficient response, and red shift or blue shift energy can be acquired by adjusting parameters.     

Characterization and investigation of the unique plasma behavior caused by variable driving frequencies in the formation of cold atmospheric plasma

The study presents the characterization of a novel variable frequency (11–50 kHz) Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Jet (APPJ) source and comparison of the results with 13.56 MHz source, in terms of species generation and species temperature. The behavior of variable frequency APPJ at different frequency regimes was investigated using optical emission spectroscopy to understand the interaction with the ambient environment. The quantitative dependence of the radical generation on driving frequency and time of treatment was also analyzed by direct synthesis of H₂O₂ by plasma-water interaction. The plasma formed with a kHz driving frequency had a low treatment temperature, which was suitable for biological species, but the plasma generated with a 13.56 MHz driving frequency had a substantially higher radical density than the kHz plasma. As a result, the APPJ device's ability to tune the radical density and treatment temperature with a change in kHz frequency has been demonstrated.     

Impulsive forces of two spark-generated cavity bubbles with phase differences

The characteristics of synchronous and phase difference bubble pairs in axisymmetric configuration near a boundary are investigated experimentally by the spark discharge method. Their destructive forces on nearby boundaries are measured using a polyvinylidene fluoride sensor. The bubble pair interactions and deformed features in the boundary vicinity are dissimilar to those in bulk water. Moreover, significant discrepancies between in-phase and out-of-phase pair interactions and their intensities of impulses are also witnessed. The interbubble distance (η), stand-off distance from the boundary (γ), and phase offset (τ) are crucial parameters affecting the shape evolutions and impulsive forces. From the qualitative analysis of sensor acquisition and high-speed imaging, it is observed that bubble periods are either prolonged or shorter than their corresponding isolated single cavity according to different parameters and arrangements. Additionally, the strongest impingements are produced by in-phase pairs. The impulses of phase difference bubble pairs are remarkably lower than in-phase pairs and even lower than a single bubble in some arrangements.     

Improving hole injection ability using a newly proposed WO3/NiOx bilayer in solution processed quantum dot light-emitting diodes

We propose a novel device structure with a WO₃/NiO_x bilayer to improve the hole injection ability in QLEDs fabricated mainly by a solution-based process. First, we employed a spin-coated NiO_x thin film as a hole injection layer (HIL) to replace Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly(styrenesulfonate) PEDOT:PSS which corrodes indium tin oxide (ITO) used as an anode in QLEDs. We showed a simply optimized annealing process, instead of a rather complicated process like doping, can improve the electrical conductivity of the NiO_x thin film. The reason for the dependency of conductivity on the post-metallization annealing is because of the change of the total amount of Ni vacancy in the NiO_x thin film as a function of annealing temperature: The electrical conductivity of the NiO_x thin film annealed at 275 °C was the best in this work. Second, we inserted the WO₃ thin film in between ITO electrode and NiO_x HIL to form an ITO/WO₃/NiO_x structure which reduces the hole injection barrier to 0.35 eV, resulting in the excellent characteristic in view of charge balance. Finally, we measured the properties of QLEDs with the WO₃/NiO_x bilayer to check the effects of the proposed device structure and showed the substantial improvement of the electrical conductivity of NiO_x, the luminance, and the current efficiency of the QLEDs.
