In this attempt, Two Dimensional Photonic Crystal (2DPC) Quasi Square Ring Resonator (QSRR) based four channel demultiplexer is proposed and designed for Wavelength Division Multiplexing systems. The performance parameters of the demultiplexer such as transmission efficiency, passband width, line spacing, Q factor and crosstalk are investigated. The proposed demultiplexer is composed of bus waveguide, drop waveguide and QSRR. In the proposed demultiplexer, the output ports are arranged separately in odd and even number, where an odd number of ports are located on the right side and even number of ports are located on the left side of the bus waveguide that are used to reduce the channel interference or crosstalk. Further, the refractive index of rods around the center rod is increased linearly one to another in order to improve the signal quality. The resonant wavelengths of the proposed demultiplexer are of 1521.1 nm, 1522.0 nm, 1523.2 nm and 1524.3 nm, respectively. The footprint of the device is of 180.96 µm². Then, a four channel point to point network is designed and the proposed four channel demultiplexer is implemented by replacing a conventional demultiplexer. Finally, functional parameters of the network, namely, BER, receiver sensitivity and Q factor are estimated by varying the link distance. This attempt could create new dimensions of research in the domain of photonic networks.

Although it has been over 20 years since the first recorded use of a quantitative ultrasound (QUS) technology to predict bone fragility, the field has not yet reached its maturity. QUS have the potential to predict fracture risk in a number of clinical circumstances and has the advantages of being non-ionizing, inexpensive, portable, highly acceptable to patients and repeatable. However, the wide dissemination of QUS in clinical practice is still limited and suffering form the absence of clinical consensus on how to integrate QUS technologies in bone densitometry armamentarium. There are a number of critical issues that need to be addressed in order to develop the role of QUS within rheumatology. These include issues of technologies adapted to measure the central skeleton, data acquisition and signal processing procedures to reveal bone properties beyond bone mineral quantity and elucidation of the complex interaction between ultrasound and bone structure. In this presentation, we review recent developments to assess bone mechanical properties. We conclude with suggestions of future lines and trends in technology challenges and research areas such as new acquisition modes, advanced signal processing techniques, and models.

Recent years, the design of photonic crystal (PC) based optical devices is receiving keen interest in research and scientific community. In this paper, two dimensional (2D) PC based eight channel demultiplexer is proposed and designed and the functional characteristics of demultiplexer namely resonant wavelength, transmission efficiency, quality factor, spectral width, channel spacing and crosstalk are investigated. The demultiplexer is designed to drop the wavelength centred at 1537.6 nm, 1538.5 nm, 1539.4 nm, 1540.4 nm, 1541.2 nm, 1541.9 nm, 1542.6 nm and 1543.1 nm. The proposed demultiplexer is primarily composed of bus waveguide, drop waveguide and quasi square ring resonator. The quasi square ring resonator and square ring micro cavity (inner rods) are playing a vital role for a desired channel selection. The operating range of the devices is identified through a photonic band gap (PBG) which is obtained using a plane wave expansion (PWE) method. The functional characteristics of the proposed demultiplexer are attained using a 2D finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. The proposed device offers low crosstalk and high transmission efficiency with ultra-compact size, hence, it is highly desirable for DWDM applications.
The research carried out in the field of optics and photonics with an idea to design and develop the all optical logic devices in the fascinating material known as photonic crystals (PhCs). The structural investigation reveals that the two dimensional (2-D) PhCs is more suitable for fabrication of optoelectronic components. In this article we have designed basic logic gates in 2-D PhCs as they are the building blocks for the construction of optical devices and in these, refractive index is periodically modulated with the wavelength. The understanding of light behaviour in complex PhCs helps in creating photonic band gap (PBG) that can prevent light of certain wavelength propagating in crystal lattice structure. For the selected geometry structure, three PBG bands will exists out of which two of them are transverse electric (TE) and one is transverse magnetic (TM) mode. The PBG bands in the TE mode ranges from 0.31( α λ ) to 0.46( α λ ), 0.61( α λ ) to 0.63( α λ ) and TM mode ranges from 0.86( α λ ) to 0.93( α λ ). The free space wavelength of 1550 nm is set for the finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulation of the structure. The response time and computational overhead required for the proposed OR gate is 0.128ps and 4.4MB is obtained. Also we calculated the extinction ratio for AND gate and NOT gate as 6.19 dB and 10.21 dB respectively.
In this work, using the two-dimensional finite difference time domain method, we are theoretically studying the optical properties of a two-dimensional photonic crystal biosensor based on silicon rods arranged as a square structure in an air bottom with two waveguides and a nanocavity. For this purpose, six different cells are infiltrated into the point defect. These six cells are Jurkat, HeLa, PC-12, MDA-MB-231, MCF-7, and basal cells. As a result, we have successfully detected cancer and benign cases of these cells through resonance peaks in the transmission spectrum. We evaluated the sensitivity, quality factor, detection limit, and figure of merit at different values for sensing region radius for optimization purposes. We report that we observed the maximum sensitivity of 1350 nm/RIU at 0.15 μm for the basal cell. Finally, the proposed biosensor can be a miniaturized structure with extreme sensitivity in cancer cell detection models.

The paper presents the exploitation of a lowestorder algorithm of evolutionary computing (EStra) for identifying the parameters of a simplified human body model (phantom). A simplified model is well suited in view of the computationally-expensive field simulation of wearable antennas located in a close proximity to the human body. In the paper, an automated procedure based on evolutionary computing and Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) computational electrodynamics method is proposed to identify the parameters of the simplified model. Subsequently, after identifying the parameter values, the simplified model is compared to a heterogeneous anthropomorphic human-body model. The comparison is based on the analysis of impedance matching of the same dipole antenna located on both the anthropomorphic and simplified phantoms.

The study investigated the effect of the fill factor, lattice constant, and the shape and type of meta-atom material on the reduction of mechanical wave transmission in quasi-two-dimensional phononic structures. A finite difference algorithm in the time domain was used for the analysis, and the obtained time series were converted into the frequency domain using the discrete Fourier transform. The use of materials with large differences in acoustic impedance allowed to determine the influence of the meta-atom material on the propagation of the mechanical wave.

The traditional common-offset ground penetrating radar method measures point by point along the survey line with a single transmitter and a single receiver. Due to the influence of the antenna radiation power and the low-pass filtering function of the earth medium, an intense amplitude gain cannot be obtained when the signal is intercepted. This article addresses a plane beam signal ground penetrating radar array observation method based on high radiation power gain. The transmitting antenna array simultaneously excites the pulse signal with the same center frequency. All the transmitted signals interfere with each other at the near surface to form a plane beam signal, and the electromagnetic energy is superimposed mutually to increase the radiation power. We applied the plane beam signal ground penetrating radar array method to different geological models constructed by the finite difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithm for numerical simulation in this research. Since there are various offsets in the array ground penetrating radar observation method, we introduce a composite frequency shift-perfect matching layer (CFS-PML) based on the recursive convolution method as the absorbing boundary condition. It eliminates the problem of secondary refection caused by the angle variation of the incident wave. The research result shows that the plane beam signal illuminates the target uniformly in space, can eliminate the discontinuity in profile data caused by the directivity of the antenna, improve the stability and quality of the echo signal, and enrich the target response parameters.
