Optimal tuning of lasing modes through collective particle resonance
One of the current challenges in laser optics is to take advantage of the resonant modes within particles to obtain high-quality microcavities with low threshold. We present a study of the effect that the internal resonances of individual particles have on the emitted intensity, and demonstrate how optimal tuning of the size and separation of the particles can enhance the quality factor by more...
متن کاملAssessment of Blend PVDF Membranes, and the Effect of Polymer Concentration and Blend Composition
In this work, PVDF homopolymer was blended with PVDF-co-HFP copolymer and studied in terms of morphology, porosity, pore size, hydrophobicity, permeability, and mechanical properties. Different solvents, namely N-Methyl-2 pyrrolidone (NMP), Tetrahydrofuran (THF), and Dimethylformamide (DMF) solvents, were used to fabricate blended PVDF flat sheet membranes without the introduction of any pore f...
متن کاملCharacterization of Combinatorial Polymer Blend Composition Gradients by FTIR Microspectroscopy
A new FTIR technique was developed for characterizing thin polymer films used in combinatorial materials science. Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy mapping technique was used to determine the composition of polymer blend gradients. Composition gradients were made from poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) and poly(D,L-lactic acid) (PDLLA) in the form of thin films (6 cm × 2 cm) deposited on IR ...
متن کاملAdaptive microbial population shifts in response to a continuous ethanol blend release increases biodegradation potential.
The fate of fuel releases largely depends on the poorly-understood response in microbial community structure and function. Here, we evaluate the impacts to the microbial community resulting from a pilot-scale continuous release (10 months) of a 10% v:v ethanol solution mixed with benzene and toluene (50 mg/L each). Microbial population shifts were characterized by pyrosequencing-based 16S rRNA ...
متن کاملFine-tuning the Ant Colony System algorithm through Particle Swarm Optimization
Ant Colony System (ACS) is a distributed (agentbased) algorithm which has been widely studied on the Symmetric Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP). The optimum parameters for this algorithm have to be found by trial and error. We use a Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm (PSO) to optimize the ACS parameters working in a designed subset of TSP instances. First goal is to perform the hybrid PSO-A...
