With two major hexagonal ring lattices and many circular air holes, the sensor construction is made to be less complicated, and the external surface of the designed structure is coated by a layer of gold (Au) that is 40 nm depth as plasmonic material depending on chemical adoption and excellent sensing performance. employing the finite element method (FEM), the detecting functions were examined for the chemical analytes in the measurement of refractive index range from 1.33 to 1.42. The maximal wavelength sensitivity (WS) and amplitude sensitivity (AS) of the proposed sensor were 27,000 nm/RIU and 1701.69 RIU<sup>−1</sup> with the resolutions of 3.70 × 10<sup>−6</sup> RIU and 5.88 × 10<sup>−6</sup> RIU, respectively, and 482 RIU<sup>−1</sup> was found as a maximum figure of merit (FOM). Placing the plasmonic material and analyte sensing layer on the DCPCF's outside is noteworthy in the design, as it indicates the feasibility of easier manufacturing processes. Following to these outcomes and a simple structural design, the suggested distinctive sensor can be potentially applicable for refractive index (RI) detecting the biochemical solutions, biomolecular substances, and biological samples.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19513,"journal":{"name":"Optik","volume":"332 ","pages":"Article 172381"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143898615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To enhance the prediction accuracy, a dynamic correction based on XGBoost was applied, which effectively minimized residual errors and improved model robustness. The model developed demonstrated high performance on the training (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.9993, RMSE = 0.6260 and MAE = 0.4773), test (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.9979, RMSE = 0.7616 and MAE = 0.6839) and cross-validation datasets (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.9988, RMSE = 0.8312 and MAE = 0.5467), thus confirming its stability and reliability.

This paper proposes a combined chaotic scrambling and µ-nonlinear logarithmic companding transform scheme to solve the high PAPR problem and enhance image transmission quality in ACO-OFDM based-VLC systems. The proposed scheme utilizes the chaotic Arnold’s cat map-based scrambling (ACMS) for shuffling image pixels before modulation to improve image transmission quality and reduce PAPR. Moreover, a µ-modified logarithmic companding transform (µ-MLCT) is investigated to enhance the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), bit-error-ratio (BER), and reduce PAPR. ACMS can provide both data encryption and PAPR reduction. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, which gives PSNR and BER improvements of about 52 dB and 3.5 dB in SNR, respectively, and achieves a PAPR reduction of about 12 dB. Moreover, it can not only achieve high image transmission security but also improve image quality and reduce PAPR in the ACO-OFDM-based VLC system without affecting PSNR and BER performance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19513,"journal":{"name":"Optik","volume":"330 ","pages":"Article 172363"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143875063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
