Here, we present a novel method to fabricate long period gratings using standard single mode optical fibers (SMF). These optical devices were fabricated in a three-step process, which consisted of etching the SMF, then ...

Despite three decades of effort, predicting accurately extraordinary transmission through subwavelength hole arrays has proven challenging. The lack of quantitative design and modeling capability to take into account ...

The success of second-life (SL) Li-ion batteries from electric vehicles is still conditioned by their technical and economic viability. The knowledge of the internal parameters of retired batteries at the repurposing stage ...

In time-of-flight (TOF)-based human ranging systems, target sensors are often mounted on or close to the human body, which may raise non-line-of-sight (NLOS) cases and lead to significant ranging errors depending on the ...

In this work, the potential of using general-purpose paints to fabricate highly reflective, low-cost optical mirrors is evaluated. The study shows that high-reflectivity mirrors can be created in standard single-mode fiber ...

D-dimer is a useful diagnostic biomarker for deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, collectively referred to as venous thromboembolism (VTE). The ability to detect in real-time the amount of D-dimer with a fast and ...

In this work, the channel characterization in terms of large-scale propagation, small-scale propagation, statistical and interference analysis of Fifth-Generation (5G) Millimeter Wave (mmWave) bands for wireless networks ...

In this paper, a flat lens antenna using Gap Waveguide (GW) technology working in the millimeter waves band was designed. The metamaterial lens is fed using a Groove Gap Waveguide (GGW) horn antenna in order to achieve a ...

A micropower single-stage folded cascode amplifier able to drive a wide range of capacitive loads is presented. It features class AB operation and includes power-efficient adaptive biasing techniques, which provide enhanced ...
