In order to solve the optimization problem of disk magnetic coupler, two schemes, orthogonal test and multiobjective genetic algorithm, were used optimize coupler maximize torque while reducing eddy current loss, then correctness results was verified by electromagnetic simulation experiments. The loss optimized normalized using comprehensive evaluation function. After algorithm optimization, va...

We report on a novel nondestructive and reversible method for coupling free space light to planar optical waveguides. In this method, an elastomeric grating is used to produce an effective refractive index modulation on the surface of the optical waveguide. The external elastomeric grating binds to the surface of the waveguide with van der Waals forces and makes conformal contact without any ap...

The design of Cyclotron CYCHU-10 has been carried out at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST). Because of the low centre frequency (99MHz) of its RF system, we should choose suitable directional couplers for the RF system which is supposed to be highdirectivity and tight-structure. This paper analyzes and synthesizes kinds of directional couplers, especially microstrip structure...

The design of compact wideband microwave reflectometers for the purpose of inclusion in a breast cancer detection system is presented. In this system, a wideband frequency source is used to synthesize a narrow pulse via the step-frequency synthesis method. The reflectometer undertakes measurements in the frequency domain and the collected data is transformed to the time/space domain using IFFT....

Thermal noise in multilayer optical coatings may not only limit the sensitivity of future gravitational wave detectors in their most sensitive frequency band but is also a major impediment for experiments that aim to reach the standard quantum limit or to cool mechanical systems to their quantum ground state. Here, we present the experimental realization and characterization of a cavity coupler...

We present a thorough practical design optimization of broadband low loss, terahertz (THz) photonic crystal fiber directional couplers in which the two cores are mechanically down-doped with a triangular array of air holes. A figure of merit taking both the 3-dB bandwidth and loss of the coupler into account, is used for optimization of the structure parameters, given by the diameter and pitch ...

This paper considers optimal synthesis of a four-bar linkage by method of controlled deviations. The advantage of this approximate method is that it allows control of motion of the coupler in the four-bar linkage so that the path of the coupler is in the prescribed environment around the given path on the segment observed. The Hooke-Jeeves’s optimisation algorithm has been used in the optimisat...

We present a two-photon fluorescence microscope based on a three-port single-mode optical fiber coupler. It is found that the coupler behaves as a low-pass filter that can deliver an ultrashort-pulsed laser beam of as much as 150 mW of power in the wavelength range from 770 to 870 nm as well as collect a two-photon fluorescence signal in the visible range. As a result of using the fiber coupler...

HZB has started building the 50MeV, 100mA demonstrator energy-recovery-linac (ERL) facility bERLinPro. The high power injector system needs to deliver this beam at 6.5MeV by combining the energy gain of a 1.4 cell SRF photo-injector and three Cornell style 2-cell booster cavities. One booster cavity will be operated at zero-crossing for bunch energy chirping. Thus two booster cavities have to d...

This paper presents the design of a bandpass filter using directional coupler. The concept of transerval filters is applied to design of microwave filters. The directional coupler is used as a transversal filtering element. This is achieved by loading the coupled ports of the filter with open-circuited stubs. The dependence of filter characteristics on the stub lengths and impedances is demonst...
