Choice of Ge-content in SiGe layer and thickness of the top cell are very important to obtain optimized efficiency of the device. Efficiency increases initially with x and after a particular value of x, it decreases. More than 20% maximum efficiency is obtained for x=0.28, and for the thickness of top and bottom cells are 0.2μm and 0.12μm respectively.","PeriodicalId":286435,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Microwave and Photonics (ICMAP)","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128911216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method of Bacteria foraging Optimization (BFO) is used to determine an optimal set of current excitation weights and antenna inter-element spacing that provide radiation pattern with maximum SLL reduction and much improvement on FNBW as well. Circular array antenna laying on x-y plane is assumed. BFO is applied on circular arrays of 8-, 10-, and 12- elements. Various simulation results are presented and hence performances of side lobe and FNBW are analyzed. Experimental results show considerable reductions of both the SLL and FNBW with respect to those of the uniform case and some standard algorithms GA [12], PSO [14] and SA [11] applied to the same problem.","PeriodicalId":286435,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Microwave and Photonics (ICMAP)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128069959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The splicing point between the singlemode fiber and hollow-core fiber can convert the core mode into cladding modes which will be further projected to the external object by a fiber lens. The reflected cladding modes can be captured by fiber lens to interfere with the back-reflected core mode generated at splicing point to produce interferences with spatial mode beating characteristics. This spatial mode beating comes along with multiple foci outside the fiber lens where one of the cladding modes serves as a moving reference for others. The moving direction can thus be discriminated by monitoring the power variations of two neighboring wavelengths at the bilateral side of the wavelength beating node at around 1486 nm or 1504 nm wavelength.","PeriodicalId":286435,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Microwave and Photonics (ICMAP)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132589531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Selection combining diversity technique is employed at the receiver and bit-to-bit comparison is used to estimate the error performance i.e. BER. The four modulation formats are employed on the FSO link in the presence as well as absence of diversity. The comparison is done on the basis of the performance matrices like BER, input optical power, SNR and the minimum received power obtained. The result shows BPSK as the suitable format in presence as well as absence of diversity. Also with diversity the requirement of SNR to achieve the same BER is reduced by 7 dB.","PeriodicalId":286435,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Microwave and Photonics (ICMAP)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114280646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
