Design of suitable photodetectors that effectively absorb light in the optical communication wavelengths range can lead to significant improvements in FSO communication; because in the FSO systems the modulated beam is transferred in free space without any optical fiber cable, and a major limiting factor for FSO is the beam divergence, which can be solved by changing the operating wavelength to 1.55μm. So, the photodetector and its optical absorption in this wavelength plays an important role. In this study, we have designed a metal-dielectric-graphene (MDG) photo detector, employing T-shaped coupled nano-antennas, and the graphene absorption, as photo-generated carrier channel in the photodetector, under different conditions is investigated. We demonstrated that the photodetector absorption at 1.55μm wavelength reaches to 38%, approximately, and only has one peak that is very suitable for the photodetector performance.","PeriodicalId":306222,"journal":{"name":"2022 4th West Asian Symposium on Optical and Millimeter-wave Wireless Communications (WASOWC)","volume":"45 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131163117","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}

FiWi network is popular due to its mobility, flexibility, robustness, and high bandwidth. A challenging issue in the FiWi network is to determine the optimal position of optical network units (ONUs) to decrease system cost and increase system stability, throughput and performance. In recent years, some optimization meta-heuristics for ONU placement were proposed and achieved promising results. However, the performance of existing methods is not ideal. This paper presents an enhanced backtracking search algorithm (EBSA) for the ONU placement. The goal is to minimize the overall distance between wireless users and ONUs. The experimental results on the ONU placement scenarios show that the proposed EBSA algorithm outperformed the standard BSA, HHO, and CLS-LFD algorithms.","PeriodicalId":306222,"journal":{"name":"2022 4th West Asian Symposium on Optical and Millimeter-wave Wireless Communications (WASOWC)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116795575","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 advantages of reflective optics in comparison with refractive optics is one of the main reasons for this trend. Specular reflection in a broad spectral range, no or little reflection and transmission loss, no chromatic aberration, and high reliability in high power applications configuration are just some of these advantages. In this paper, the optical performance of a modified off-axis aberrations-free Gregorian-based reflector antenna system is studied as an optical section of a terahertz imaging system. By applying a precise optimization procedure, the optical and imaging performance of the reflective structure is optimized with respect to the proposed optimization goals. Furthermore, it will be shown that although the apparent complexity of the overall configuration, by carefully utilizing the optical techniques, a near-ideal focusing optics is achievable.","PeriodicalId":306222,"journal":{"name":"2022 4th West Asian Symposium on Optical and Millimeter-wave Wireless Communications (WASOWC)","volume":"314 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115284529","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}
