The efficiency of wavelength conversion of a cascaded Raman resonator decreases sharply when a non-resonant pump is used. Designing and fabricating new grating sets for the resonator for different pump sources isn’t a feasible option as it compromises the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of this approach. We identified that by seeding the cascaded Raman conversion suitably, a substantial improvement in efficiency can be achieved. This is demonstrated using a coupler-based broadband reflector to significantly improve the performance of CRR for a non-resonant pump source. Remarkable improvement in efficiency is obtained with $sim 70$% of the output power at 1480nm Stokes wavelength when the CRR is pumped by a 16W Ytterbium doped fiber laser at 1057nm.","PeriodicalId":6590,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th IEEE International Conference on Emerging Electronics (ICEE)","volume":"48 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77346311","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 Current on/off ratio and retention time also degrades with annealing temperature. The devices exhibited significantly low switching voltages (<1 V) and retention time upto 103 s. Annealing of PMMA at higher temperatures may result in softening of films resulting in lower switching voltages due to defects generation and easy charge migration. The conduction mechanism has been investigated by double log plot of I-V characteristics of device suggesting ohmic conduction at lower voltages in in HRS and in LRS. At higher voltages in HRS, space charge limited conduction dominates the conduction mechanism.","PeriodicalId":6590,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th IEEE International Conference on Emerging Electronics (ICEE)","volume":"99 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80994268","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}

It was concluded that most critical parameters deciding platinum film quality are power, annealing temperature, and deposition pressure. By identifying the most critical parameters, we narrowed our subsequent two-level factorial optimization domain by a factor of 16.

In addition to the trapping force, there are also other effects present in a plasmonic system due to efficient absorption of electromagnetic energy. In this paper, we have theoretically investigated intrinsic plasmonic heating and resulting fluid convection for mobile nanotweezers. The temperature rise and fluid flow are calculated as a function of incident light intensity and position of the nanotweezer inside the chamber where we have assumed the geometries and experimental conditions given in reference [1]. In addition, we have investigated the possible role of fluid confinement in convective flows generated by the nanotweezer.

Nanocomposite of ZnO nanoparticles and GST was synthesized to be used as the channel material for the FET structure fabricated using standard UV lithography technique. The channel material specifically detects the conjugation reaction between glutathione and 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) which takes place only in presence of GST. As GST in immobilized on the channel itself, presence of glutathione can be detected by dint of occurrence of the conjugation reaction. This device was also tested with cancer cells for detection of enhanced levels of glutathione in them. Presence of glutathione is reflected on the transfer characteristics of the device. Detection was performed at various concentrations of GSH and a sensitivity and LOD (Limit of Detection) of 60.22 $mu$ A/dec change in concentration and 13.1 nM were obtained respectively. Subsequently, the device was tested with HeLa and MCF 7 cancer cells and the results were compared with that of Human Embryonic Kidney (HEK) cells, which are noncancerous.
