The proposed disk-shaped antenna consists of four identical disk-shaped elements arranged uniformly around a circular structure. This uniform arrangement helps maintain geometric balance and minimizes mutual coupling. All the disk patterns are arranged equidistantly around the centrally etched flower-like structure, which ensures the symmetrical geometry of the proposed antenna. These slots are helpful in generating a super-wide bandwidth ranging from 1.81 THz to 4.1513 THz. To further enhance the efficiency of the antenna, hexagonal slots are etched on the ground plane. The hexagonally etched slots on the ground reduce signal reflection losses. The overall dimensions of the four-port MIMO antenna are 800 × 800 × 50 µm³ , and it is designed on a silicon substrate with a relative permittivity of 11.9. The proposed antenna achieves a super-wide bandwidth ranging from 0.926 THz to 5.5411 THz and a peak gain of 7 dB. MIMO performance parameters such as diversity gain, Total Active Reflection Coefficient (TARC), Envelope Correlation Coefficient (ECC), and Channel Capacity Loss (CCL) are evaluated, and all lie within acceptable ranges. The disk-shaped antenna demonstrates super-wideband characteristics, high resolution, and a low reflection coefficient. The disk-shaped antenna operates at 1.8175 THz, 2.5911 THz, 3.286 THz, and 4.1513 THz, with reflection coefficients of −28.02 dB, −35.723 dB, −37.11 dB, and −32.35 dB, respectively. Considering to its compact size, wide bandwidth, and stable radiation characteristics, the proposed disk-shaped antenna is well suited for high-speed THz communication and beyond-6G wireless applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19513,"journal":{"name":"Optik","volume":"347 ","pages":"Article 172671"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145978582","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}

We analyse how pump photon numbers, interaction times, and coupling strengths affect nonclassicality, distinguishing between first- and second-order Hamiltonian interactions. Results show that first-order interactions lead to stronger nonclassical effects, though only second-order interactions enable antibunching in the harmonic mode due to higher-order pump contributions. Photon antibunching intensity increases with pump strength and shorter interaction times. In the first-order coupling interactions, the harmonic mode does not exhibit antibunching because a coherent or vacuum pump induces photon clustering. However, second-order interactions, where higher powers of the pump field contribute significantly, facilitate antibunching in the harmonic mode. Third-order antibunching exhibits the strongest nonclassical behaviour within the observed effects, followed by second- and first-order antibunching. It is more apparent that increased pump intensity and reduced interaction time both strengthen antibunching and sub-Poissonian photon statistics. While the pump mode exhibits clear antibunching, the harmonic mode displays milder nonclassicality. These results reveal the higher-order transitions of antibunching as an inherent quantum feature of light, valuable for quantum communication and single-photon sources with a probabilistic destination.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19513,"journal":{"name":"Optik","volume":"347 ","pages":"Article 172668"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145978585","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}

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks hijack many distributed devices to overwhelm systems, making them a persistent cybersecurity concern. Although there are various detection methods already, the growing complexity and frequency of these threats demand more resilient and adaptive security solutions. Existing detection methods frequently fall short in effectively handling the dynamic nature of cloud environments. These limitations collectively motivate the development of more robust and integrated approaches. As a result, this study presents a new architecture for detecting DDoS attacks in virtual cloud computing systems using the Adaptive Hybrid Learning (AHyL) approach. Initially, datasets are collected from publicly available standard sources. Then, the gathered data undergoes data preprocessing to improve its quality. Subsequently, a Spatial Cross-Attention-based Fuzzy Autoencoder (SCA-FAE) is employed to extract robust features. The combination of Spatial Cross-Attention (SCA) and Fuzzy Autoencoder (FAE) in the SCA-FAE approach offers the distinctive advantage by leveraging spatial correlations and handling data uncertainty. These extracted features are forwarded to the AHyL model for the detection process. This offers the distinctive advantage of integrating an Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) with a Residual Recurrent Neural Network (Res-RNN) to balance high-speed processing. Prediction performance is further enhanced by optimizing the model’s parameters using the Random Number Updated Hippopotamus Optimization (RNU-HO) algorithm.

The resulting nonlinear magnetization behavior is described by a generalized derivative nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) equation, selected for its ability to capture complex spin interactions and electromagnetically induced nonlinear effects that are inadequately represented in conventional integrable models. To investigate the nonlinear spin excitations, we perform numerical simulations by solving the generalized DNLS equation using the Method of Lines, implemented in Mathematica software.
