Abstract Enhancement of magneto-optical effects in hybrid magneto-plasmonic systems has attracted considerable recent attention because their potential for building non-reciprocal nanophotonic devices. Quantitative understanding the fundamental origin and contributing mechanisms enhancement is crucial optimizing applications. Here, we unravel different physical origins giant Faraday rotation el...

Abstract On-chip mode-manipulation is one of the most important physical fundamentals for many photonic integrated devices and circuits. In past years, great progresses have been achieved on subwavelength silicon photonics on-chip by introducing special waveguides. Among them, there are two popular waveguide structures available. One hybrid plasmonic waveguides (HPWGs) other subwavelength-struc...

We show that if a graph G with n ≥ 3 vertices can be drawn in the plane such that each of its edges is involved in at most four crossings, then G has at most 6n− 12 edges. This settles a conjecture of Pach, Radoičić, Tardos, and Tóth. As a corollary we also obtain a better bound for the Crossing Lemma which gives a lower bound for the minimum number of crossings in a drawing of a graph.

Background Given that school-age students, as active road users, are more vulnerable to injury compared with other pedestrians, a large number of them, following an injury, may either fail to go to school at least for a short time or even suffer from disabilities for the rest of their lives. The aim of this study was to determine safe behavior in road crossing using the theory of planned behavi...

in this article, the effect of cells' radius on the behavior of wavelength switching optical filter andthe effect of the radius of the optical filters' key characteristics such as wavelength resonance onan optical filter based on photonic crystals, have been investigated. currently, the most commonapplied mechanism for designing optical filter based on photonic crystals is using twome...

We have used finite-element methods to design and simulate a tunable terahertz frequency range band-stop filter based on coupled split-ring resonators integrated into planar Goubau-line waveguide. Two with different geometrical lengths gap widths were designed resonate at the same frequency. When two coupled, resonance splitting was observed in transmission spectra controlled by distance betwee...

In this paper, we discuss a direct measure for aperiodic energy and periodic energy in speech signals. Most measures for aperiodicity have been indirect, such as zero crossing rate, highfrequency energy and the ratio of high-frequency energy to lowfrequency energy. Such indirect measurements will usually fail in situations where there is both strong periodic and aperiodic energy in the speech s...

rectangular waveguide (wr) is one of the earliest types of transmission lines. rectangular waveguide can be produced by hot extrusion process. in this paper, the hot extrusion process of cuzn5 rectangular waveguide was investigated by finite element method (fem). in addition, genetic algorithm method (ga) was used to optimize the die geometry and process conditions to achieve the lowest magnitu...

The aim of the present study is to determine the feasibility of making a rectangular twist waveguide used to rotate electromagnetic waves. For this purpose, the process of fabricating an aluminum rectangular twist waveguide was simulated by making use of finite element method and Deform software. The optimum length and angle of the twist die for manufacturing a twist waveguide with inner cross ...

The expected value for the weighted crossing number of a randomly weighted graph is studied. A variation of the Crossing Lemma for expectations is proved. We focus on the case where the edge-weights are independent random variables that are uniformly distributed on [0, 1].
