Current mismatch due to solar cell failure or partial shading of solar panels may cause a reverse biasing of solar cells inside a photovoltaic (PV) module. The reverse-biased cells consume power instead of generating it, resulting in hot spots. To pr...
The n-TiO2 nanoballs–sticks (TiO2 NBSs) were successfully deposited on p-lightly boron-doped diamond (LBDD) substrates by the hydrothermal method. The temperature-dependent optoelectronic properties and carrier transport behavior of the n-TiO2...
Two micrometeorological techniques for measuring trace gas emission rates from distributed area sources were evaluated using a variety of synthetic area sources. The vertical radial plume mapping (VRPM) and the backward Lagrangian stochastic (bLS) te...
Ion current rectification (ICR) is the ratio of ion current by forward bias to backward bias and is a critical indicator of diode performance. In previous studies, there have been many attempts to improve the performance of this ICR, but there is the...
We model two-port nonlinear optical isolators based on solitary waveguides in planar cells with non-homogeneously oriented liquid crystals in the nematic phase. In a planar layout with molecular anchoring linearly changing along the sample length or...
In recent years, underwater imaging and vision technologies have received widespread attention, and the removal of the backward-scattering interference caused by impurities in the water has become a long-term research focus for scholars. With the adv...
This paper introduces a novel architecture—bidirectional optical neural network (BONN)—for providing backward connections alongside forward connections in artificial neural networks (ANNs). BONN incorporates laser diodes and photodiodes a...
Hereby, we present an optical isolator (optical diode) based on a hyperbolic metamaterial (HMM). We demonstrate that a grating-free planar linear non-magnetic HMM structure deposited on a high-index substrate, which, due to presence of strong spatial...
The discomfort of patients due to dentinal hypersensitivity (DH) is one of the main challenges that dentists face in daily practice. Difficulties in DH treatment gave rise to many protocols which are currently used. The aim of this clinical study is...
A flat 2.0 μm ultra broadband emission with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 329 nm is achieved in 1 mol.% Tm2O3 and 0.05 mol.% Ho2O3 co-doped gallium tellurite glasses upon the excitation of an 808 nm laser diode. The influence of Tm3+ and Ho3...
In this paper, we report a theoretical systematic study of continuous wave intracavity backwards optical parametric oscillators based on periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) for mid-infrared (mid-IR) light generation. We study the effects of var...
This paper is focused on the investigation of self-oscillation regimes associated with very simple structure of lambda diode. This building block is constructed by using coupled generalized bipolar transistors. In the stage of mathematical modeling,...
Optical nonreciprocity and nonreciprocal devices such as optical diodes have broad and promising applications in various fields, ranging from optical communication to signal process. Here, we propose a magnet-free nonreciprocal scheme based on the fo...
Occasionally, four cars arrive at the four legs of an unsignalized intersection at the same time or almost at the same time. If each lane has a stop sign, all four cars are required to stop. In such instances, gestures are used to communicate approva...
In this work, we propose micro-prism patterned remote phosphor (RP) films to enhance both luminous efficiency and color uniformity (CU) of remote phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (rpc-LEDs) simultaneously. On the incident surface of the RP fi...
Fiber laser performances including transverse mode instability (TMI), stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) and optical-to-optical efficiency are in connection with the pump wavelength. Here we studied the output characteristics of a 5-kW ytterbium-doped...
The high sensitivity and picosecond time resolution of single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) can improve the operational range and imaging accuracy of underwater detection systems. When an underwater SPAD imaging system is used to detect targets, ba...
The design of nanoscale electronic components remains a major challenge because we have limited control over the chemical and physical properties of their molecular constituents. Even subtle structural or compositional modifications can significantly...
Manure on dairies is the second largest agricultural source of ammonia emissions. Ammonia (NH3) emissions were measured at a 3400-cow open-lot dairy in Texas using a backward Lagrangian Stochastic model in combination with measurements from long-path...
In this work, we proposed an efficient and straightforward up-conversion process to enhance the external quantum efficiency in a red-emission organic light-emitting diode (OLED). The carbon quantum dots in the luminescent materials initiated the up-c...
Anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions mainly come from cities and their surrounding areas. Thus, continuous measuring of CO2 in urban areas is of great significance to studying human CO2 emissions. We developed a compact, precise, and self-cal...
In brain–computer interface (BCI) systems, steady-state visual-evoked potentials (SSVEP) and P300 responses have achieved widespread implementation owing to their superior information transfer rates (ITR) and minimal training requirements. Thes...
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) exhibit hysteresis in their J-V characteristics, complicating the identification of appropriate electrical models and the determination of the maximum power point. Given the rising prominence of PSCs due to their potenti...
