Micromachined Silicon Integrating Cavities for Far-Infrared Bolometer Arrays
We are investigating gold-plated micromachined silicon integrating cavities for arrays of far infrared Transition Edge Sensor bolometers. We present the results of our simulations and show how we used COMSOL Multiphysics® software to optimize the geometry of the integrating cavity. We ... Read More
Computational Simulation of Gold Core/Shell Nanostructures for Near-Field Transducers in Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording
A recurring problem, in heat assisted magnetic recording is the build-up of thermal energy in the near-field transducer leading to NFT deformation and the cessation of operation. A mechanism to dissipate this excess heat in the NFT without greatly effecting its’ plasmonic response is ... Read More
Assessment of the SNR, G-Factor and Relative B1- Fields of Medical Radiofrequency Arrays
MRI relies upon a static magnetic field which creates a net magnetic moment from proton spins and radio-frequency fields are generated to excite this magnetic moment into a perpendicular plane, where it can be detected through the use of an array of conductive loops. The optimal size ... Read More
Impedance Matching of Tag Antenna to Maximise RFID Read Ranges & Optimising a Tag Antenna Design for a Particular Application
RFID tags are ever increasing in their daily use, from the monitoring of components, the tracking of produce during processing & production, as well as being used in much of the touch-less technologies seen today. With this technology, there has been the ever increasing need to ... Read More
Antenna and Plasmonic Properties of Scanning Probe Tips at Optical and Terahertz Regimes
A wide variety of near-field optical phenomena such as apertureless near-field scanning microscopy (ANSM) at optical and terahertz (THz) regimes and surface enhanced Raman scattering relies on the electric field enhancement at the end of a sharp tip. Achieving and controlling this ... Read More
Cancer Detection Using Coagulation Therapy with Coaxial Antenna
Nearly seven lakh Indians die of cancer, while over 10 lakh are newly diagnosed with some form of the disease every year. Surgical resection is not always feasible in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Microwave Coagulation Therapy (MCT) has been used as an alternative to resection ... Read More
Magnetostatic-Magnon Sensors for Microwave Microscopy of Biological Structures
Microwave sensing and monitoring is very attractive for biological applications because of their sensitivity to water and dielectric contrast. Direct detection of biological structures in microwave frequencies and understanding of the molecular mechanisms of microwave effects is ... Read More
A Design-of-Experiments Approach to FEM Uncertainty Analysis for Optimizing Magnetic Resonance Imaging RF Coil Design
The design of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) RF coil using finite element method-based analysis is an essential part of a multi-year research project at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, Maryland, where the goal of the project is to develop a “phantom” ...

Methods to Optimize Plasmonic Structure Integrated Single-Photon Detector Designs
Introduction: Predesigned plasmonic structures are capable of enhancing optical phenomena, the key concept is tailoring the integrated devices' composition to engineer the spectral response and near-field distribution [1]. Our previous studies have shown that three-quarter-wavelength ... Read More
Numerical Simulation of the Heat, Mass, and Momentum Transfer During the Microwave Drying of Osmodehydrated Porous Material
Recent studies have been devoted to develop mathematical models to simulate the food processing using the porous media approach. The aim of this study is to simulate the microwave drying of osmodehydrated food by means of modeling the mass, energy and momentum transfer using the porous ... Read More
