In this Article dispersion characteristic of conventional optical waveguide with helical winding at core – cladding interface has been obtained. The model dispersion characteristics of optical waveguide with helical winding at core-cladding interface have been obtained for five different pitch angles. This paper includes dispersion characteristics of optical waveguide with helical winding, and ...

We present an adiabatic taper design in three dimensions for coupling light into photonic crystal defect waveguides in a square lattice of circular dielectric rods. The taper is a two-stage structure in which the first stage makes the transition from a dielectric waveguide to a coupled-cavity waveguide. The second stage subsequently transforms the waveguide mode from an index-guided mode to a b...

Introduction The internet has experienced phenomenal growth in the last decade. Many confidential activities are now being performed via the internet such as banking and shopping. These services require private information to be exchanged, such as credit card numbers and login passwords. As well, it is necessary to authenticate the parties involved in the transaction. Imagine if anyone was free...

We design and experimentally demonstrate 50 picoseconds (ps) low loss delay line on 300 nm SOI platform. The delay line unit consists of straight rib waveguide and strip bend section linked by a transition taper waveguide. Low propagation loss of ~0.1 dB/cm is achieved on the straight rib waveguide. With taking into account both low loss and desirable delay, a complete design and characterizati...

Abstract— This work investigates the improvement of the active reflection coefficient of waveguide-fed phased-array antenna using liquid crystal layers. The anisotropy properties of liquid crystal layer can be employed to eliminate blind scan angle and improve the wide angle impedance matching of the waveguide-fed phased array antennas. The authors have expressed the modal analysis of the waveg...

A low cross-polarization slot array antenna in the narrow wall of ridge waveguide is presented. A non-angled slot which is created in the narrow wall of the ridge waveguide is considered to be used as radiating resonant slot. The normalized resistance and normalized reactance curves are presented for design purposes. A six element slot array waveguide antenna with ridges on its narrow wall is t...

Secure socket layer (SSL) is the most popular protocol used in the Internet for facilitating secure communications. In this paper, we analyze the performance and architectural impact of SSL on the servers in terms of various parameters such as throughput, utilization, cache sizes, cache miss ratios, number of processors, control dependencies, le access sizes, bus transactions, network load, etc...

Computing platforms such as smartphones frequently access Web content using many separate applications rather than a single Web browser application. These applications often deal with sensitive user information such as financial data or passwords, and use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to protect it from unauthorized eavesdropping. However, recent studies have confirmed a wide-spread misconfigurati...

Acetic acid is one of the major inhibitors of spent sulfite liquor (SSL) fermentation for ethanol production. The objective of this study was to remove acetic acid from hardwood SSL using anion exchange resin in order to achieve effective fermentation with Pichia stipitis CBS6054. Lignosulfonate, as well as sulfate and sulfite ions in the SSL hindered the removal of acetic acid by anion exchang...
