Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing for improving the performance of terahertz channel
M.Bharathi, A.Amsaveni, and S.Sasikala
Terahertz (THz) communication is considered to be one of the demanding technology for the upcoming 5G standards.

The incredible demand for high rate through wireless channel necessitates the use of THz frequency for communication. The development of communication systems in this frequency band possess technical challenges as the characteristic of THz band is very different from the present wireless channel. However, the advancements in the development of transceiver and antenna systems are rapidly bringing the THz communication into reality. The high path loss in THz band limits the communication range of this channel. Even, for a distance of few meters (>5 m), the absorption coefficient is very high and hence the performance of the system is poor. Performance over this frequency channel can be enhanced by considering transmission windows over this band instead of the entire band. The transmission windows are the frequencies over which the absorption is relatively low. Though there is an improvement in the performance with this adaptive modulation scheme, but not sufficient for longer distance. Apart from path loss, the frequency selective nature of this high bandwidth channel is also a major reason for the poor performance of THz channel. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a promising solution to mitigate the effects of frequency selective nature of the wireless channel. OFDM has been exploited in this paper to improve the performance of terahertz channel. The results show that the Bit Error Rate (BER) of the terahertz channel is considerably improved with OFDM..

Nevertheless the relatively low photo absorption limits its potential application. On the other hand, the semiconductor quantum dots has exhibited high quantum efficiency and strong optical absorption. A novel photodetector by the incorporation of graphene with InAs quantum dots on GaAs substrate has been proposed. The performance of the fabricated photodetector, such like photoresponse, dark current, and time response, have been extensively studied. The photodetector based on graphene/InAs QDs/GaAs hybrid hetero-junction demonstrated that for the visible range of 637 nm a responsivity of about 17.0 mA/W, and detectivity of 2.3×1010 cmHz1/2 W-1, with an on/off ratio of about 1×103 could be achieved. For the near infrared range of 940 nm, an even higher responsivity of of 207 mA/W has been obtained. Moreover a stronger dependence of dark current, Schottky barrier height and ideality factor on temperature has also been observed..

An increase of the total period number from 19 to 38 for the In0.83Al0.17As/In0.52Al0.48As DGMB with the same thickness has shown improved crystal qualities for the In0.83Ga0.17As/In0.83Al0.17As photodiode layers grown on such pseudo-substrates. An increased strain relaxation degree up to 99.8%, a reduced surface roughness, enhanced photoluminescence intensities as well as photo responsivities, and suppressed dark currents are observed simultaneously for the In0.83Ga0.17As photodiode on the DGMB with a period number of 38. These results suggest that with more periods, DGMB can restrain the transmission of the threading dislocations more efficiently and reduce the residual defect density..

Simulation and Cold test of a 340 GHz filleted staggered doub1e vane traveling wave tube
Staggered double vane traveling wave tubes have been given a lot of attentions in recent years due to its high power capacity and easy double vane traveling wave tubefabrication. However, the loss seriously limits the performance of traveling wave tube with the increasing of frequency, especially in THz wave band. In tStaggered double vane traveling wave tubes have been given a lot of attentions in recent years due to its high power capacity and easy double vane traveling wave tubefabrication. However, the loss seriously limits the performance of traveling wave tube with the increasing of frequency, especially in THz wave band. In this paper, a more practical design about staggered double vane structure is proposed with the consideration of the loss and fillets caused by fabrication. The simulation results indicate that the tube with uniform period slow wave structures can obtain over 5 W output power in the frequency range from 320 GHz to 342 GHz. The method of phase-velocity taper is used to enhance the output power and the simulation results show an obvious improvement of the power with more than 28% in the operating wave band. Based on these, the experiment of the fabricated high frequency system with filleted staggered double vane slow wave structure is carried out. The tested S21 of pillbox window is above -2.1 dB in the frequency range from 330 GHz to 360 GHz and VSWR (voltage standing wave ratio) is below 1.35 in the frequency range from 334 GHz to 355 GHz. And the tested VSWR of the high frequency system including the pillbox window is below 2 in the frequency range from 335 GHz to 344 GHz, which matches with the simulation results..

It was confirmed that the coherent fringes of the Infrared photo-thermal absorption images of CZT wafers come from the interference of incident light relative to parameters of incident light, wafer thickness, thermal conductivity and band gap of materials. Finally, the micro-defects of CZT materials and their distribution along depth direction were obtained by optimizing the test conditions..

Researching intensity, self-broadening full-width, temperatCO2 and CO are called the key indicators of combustion efficiency. Accurate measurement of CO2 in the combustion flow field is very important for energy conservation and emission reduction in industrial combustion process and engine combustion state diagnosis. Researching intensity, self-broadening full-width, temperature-dependence exponent and other parameters of CO2 in high temperature, may improve the accuracy and reliability of measurements for CO2 concentration. A precise temperature control and pressure control gas spectroscopic parameter measurement system with a design temperature up to 2073 K based on absorption spectroscopy has been developed for the measurement of spectroscopic parameters of the R(50e) line at 5007.787cm-1 of CO2. Many high temperature survey spectra of the CO2 R(50e) line were recorded at 1212~1873 K and many pressures through the system. Through background subtraction, baseline fitting, time-frequency conversion, multi-line combination and nonlinear least squares fitting, and other data processing based on the CO2 R(50e) survey spectra, intensity, self-broadening full-width and temperature-dependence exponent at 1212-1873 K were obtained. The uncertainty of line strength is less than 1.5%, the uncertainty of self-broadening full-width is less than 4.5%. These parameters are supplement and improvement to the existing database. They are helpful for the detection of CO2 concentration in combustion diagnosis to ensure the accurate inversion of CO2 concentration in the combustion process..

Utilizing the latest developed diffuse correlation spectroscopy device and 30% intralipid as the phantom of biological sample, we demonstrated how to obtain both of the optical properties and dynamical property of 30% intralipid. The absorption coefficient and reduced scattering coefficient of 30% intralipid are 0.037 cm-1 and 303 cm-1 respectively. The Brownian diffusion coefficient of the diluted 30%intralipid (0.85%, volume/volume) is 8.40×10-9 cm2/s and the radius of intralipid particle is about 253 nm deduced by Stokes-Einstein relation. The stability of the diluted 30% intralipid was also studied. The scattering coefficient increases by 106% and the Brownian diffusion coefficient decreases by 63% for seven days. This study suggests that diffuse correlation spectroscopy can not only measure the optical properties but also measure the dynamical property of biological sample, which may be a powerful tool in biomedical field, food safety field , agricultural field, etc..
