Both the sensing layer and the plasmonic material layer were built outside of the fiber design to detect the surrounding medium’s RI changes. Additionally, the effects of different plasmonic materials gold (Au), silver (Ag), and copper (Cu) toward sensitivity were investigated for the same structure. An adhesive agent was used in this work, titanium dioxide (TiO2), and was coated on top of the plasmonic material to prevent the oxidation of Ag and Cu. The coupling strength between the fundamental mode and the surface plasmon polariton (SPP) mode was observed to be very strong due to the TiO2 adhesive agent. With a resolution of 7.41 × 10−7 RIU, maximum wavelength sensitivity (WS) of 135,000 nm/RIU and amplitude sensitivity (AS) of 3239 RIU−1 were achieved using the proposed sensor while using Au as a plasmonic materi...

The H-PCF design consists of an asymmetric core region, where one air hole is a reduced diameter and the air hole in its opposite vertex is omitted. The light-guiding properties of the proposed H-PCF structure were studied using the full-vector finite element method (FEM) with a circular perfectly matched layer (PML). The simulation results showed that the proposed H-PCF exhibits an ultrahigh birefringence of 3.87 × 10−2, a negative dispersion coefficient of −753.2 ps/(nm km), and a nonlinear coefficient of 96.51 W−1 km−1 at an excitation wavelength of 1550 nm. The major advantage of our H-PCF design is that it provides these desirable modal properties without using any non-circular air holes in the core and cladding region, thus making the fiber fabrication process much easier. The ultrahigh birefringe...

Research paper thumbnail of A Bimetallic-Coated, Low Propagation Loss, Photonic Crystal Fiber Based Plasmonic Refractive Index Sensor

Sensors

In this paper, a low-loss, spiral lattice photonic crystal fiber (PCF)-based plasmonic biosensor ... more In this paper, a low-loss, spiral lattice photonic crystal fiber (PCF)-based plasmonic biosensor is proposed for its application in detecting various biomolecules (i.e., sugar, protein, DNA, and mRNA) and biochemicals (i.e., serum and urine). Plasmonic material gold (Au) is employed externally to efficiently generate surface plasmon resonance (SPR) in the outer surface of the PCF. A thin layer of titanium oxide (TiO2) is also introduced, which assists in adhering the Au layer to the silica fiber. The sensing performance is investigated using a mode solver based on the finite element method (FEM). Simulation results show a maximum wavelength sensitivity of 23,000 nm/RIU for a bio-samples refractive index (RI) detection range of 1.32–1.40. This sensor also exhibits a very low confinement loss of 0.22 and 2.87 dB/cm for the analyte at 1.32 and 1.40 RI, respectively. Because of the ultra-low propagation loss, the proposed sensor can be fabricated within several centimeters, which reduce...

The proposed system provides practical experience to the students in the field of power electronics and telecommunications. This lab allows the students to perform experiment by controlling various experimental apparatus on real time from their home or any preferred location using the internet connection. Several experiments related to Power electronics and Telecommunications have been designed for this remote lab. The system is flexible and the range of laboratory experiments can be expanded as required without any complexity. This initializes an openly integrated environment which facilitates the sharing of not only hardware resources, but also educational material for enhancing engineering education in developing countries like Bangladesh.

Design, simulation and the analysis of the proposed single layer line feed antenna is done in CST Microwave Studio with 10.3 GHz operating frequency. The simulated results reveal that, the presented W-shaped line fed antenna offers a very wide bandwidth of 507 MHz ranging from 10.146 GHz to 10.653 GHz. Good voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) and radiation pattern characteristics are obtained in the frequency band of interest, which eliminates the possible existence of trade-offs among gain, the design of the antenna and VSWR to obtain desired bandwidth enhancement. Along with the design details of the proposed antenna, simulated results are presented in this work.

In this approach, the conventional companding scheme is only applied for those OFDM signals whose amplitude exceeds a predefined threshold level, which results in lower BER and lower computational time. Though for the proposed scheme, improvement of the PAPR is less than the conventional companding technique, however, BER performance is improved significantly.

From acoustic measurements, it is rather easy to determine the partial discharge pulses caused by loose or fixed particles. One can readily recognise the motion modes of the free particles by studying the acoustic signal. This paper presents the analysis of free metallic particle motion modes in GIS apparatus from acoustic measurements. The parameters such as maximum acoustic amplitude, number of acoustic pulses, mean value of maximum amplitude of 10 measurements, number of pulses which exceed the specified % of maximum amplitude characterising partial discharge activity of Al as well as Cu particles of different shapes are investigated
