Therefore, in this paper, an attempt has been made to critically analyze the lunar surface by using various approaches so that the possibility of water ice can be predicted. The polarimetric approach helps in determining physical and electrical properties of target. The polarimetric approaches, `m-δ' decomposition and `m-χ' decomposition, have been used for obtaining the information of scattering mechanisms. In order to determine electrical properties of lunar surface, dielectric constant has been measured using Campbell's approach. Then, specular diffuse model has been applied for identifying various craters with reference to surface roughness and possibility of water-ice deposits.","PeriodicalId":286435,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Microwave and Photonics (ICMAP)","volume":"91 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":"116145358","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 sensor is basically structured on a microcantilever beam and built-in optical integrated ring resonator which is placed in one end of the beam to gain maximum stress on the resonator. A serially coupled DRR with different radii is investigated that, effective free spectral range (FSR) of the ring is dramatically enhanced due to the vernier effect between the two rings, and the cantilever beam is optimally designed to maximize the stress and also to reduce the size and weight of the device. As a result, when pressure is applied in a system, the beam will bend, which involves mechanical deformation of the ring resonator that induces a stress, which brings the refractive index change in the waveguide lead to change in the output spectrum shift providing the measure of pressure. The sensitivity as high as 3.4149pm/kPa has been achieved and it is capable of measuring within range of (0-30.469) MPa.","PeriodicalId":286435,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Microwave and Photonics (ICMAP)","volume":"51 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":"124148801","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 calculations of excitation energies, oscillator strengths and transition dipole moments are performed using the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) approach. The first resonant peak for NCCN and NCNC isomer are found to occur at around 7.66, 6.94 eV, respectively. Furthermore, in case of NCCN, NCNC isomer the spectacular transitions of the spectra occurred in the far-UV (FUV) region of the electromagnetic spectrum. In addition, the absorption spectrum of NCNC isomer is red-shifted as compared to that of NCCN isomer. The natures of these excitations were investigated by analyzing the frontier molecular orbital's involved with these optical transitions. That means the LUMO of NCCN is combinations of s (85%) and p (15%) hybrid orbital's whereas in case of the NCNC, the LUMO corresponding to the first peak is contributed by both s (65%) and p (35%) orbits. However, the HOMO of both NCCN and CNCN are purely s-types.","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":"115089308","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 most of the existing ANNs for the synthesis of EPMSA do not include gain at resonant frequency as it is very difficult to achieve accurate result for it. The main benefit of the proposed method lies with the fact that the various parameters required for the design of an EPMSA at a particular frequency and gain of interest can be easily extracted without going into the rigorous time consuming, iterative design procedures using a costly software package.","PeriodicalId":286435,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Microwave and Photonics (ICMAP)","volume":"20 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":"124376636","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}
