Using the example of Au nanospheres embedded in the GaN dielectric, we show that enhancement depends strongly on the original radiative efficiency of the emitter, the nanoparticle size, and the separation between the emitter and metal nanosphere. We demonstrate that strong enhancement favors the closely spaced emitters and metal nanospheres, but putting them too close to each other does not always produce additional enhancement. Thus our model provides analytical treatment of the luminescence quenching and can be used to optimize both nanoparticle size and its separation from the emitter to yield maximum enhancement factor.","PeriodicalId":286435,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Microwave and Photonics (ICMAP)","volume":"12 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":"129027029","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}

In earlier days, survivability schemes were implemented with the assumption that the physical layer conditions are ideal in nature. It is seen that in long haul WDM transmissions, four wave mixing (FWM) affects the quality of transmission in fiber. Therefore it is necessary to develop new techniques that will establish error free connections. In this paper, we have proposed an end-to end path protection algorithm that includes the impact of four wave mixing on the routing and wavelength assignment in WDM optical networks. Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed scheme is much better when compared to the existing popular schemes proposed earlier for WDM optical networks with and without considering the physical layer impairment.","PeriodicalId":286435,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Microwave and Photonics (ICMAP)","volume":"83 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":"124329959","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}

In the next step a low pass filter cornered around 5 GHz is designed and integrated with a pentagonal patch antenna. Analysis of obtained structure shows only one resonance at 5 GHz with a return loss of around 15 dB hence eliminates two harmonics of 10.7 GHz and 14.2 GHz. Then for rectification purpose, a Schottky diode is characterized at 5 GHz as well as the proposed antenna structure is matched to the optimal complex impedance, consequently the RF-DC conversion efficiency of the rectenna is found to be 54%.","PeriodicalId":286435,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Microwave and Photonics (ICMAP)","volume":"40 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":"116043856","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}
