Ultra-wide sensing range plasmonic refractive index sensor based on a two-dimensional circular-hole grating engraved on a gold film

Results in Physics, 2021
We propose a simple structure with a two-dimensional (2D) circular-hole grating engraved on a gold film for ultra-wide range plasmonic refractive index (RI) sensing.

Thermodynamic Bounds on Efficiency for Systems with Broken Time-reversal Symmetry

, 2011
We show that for systems with broken time-reversal symmetry the maximum efficiency and the efficiency at maximum power are both determined by two parameters: a "figure of merit" and an asymmetry parameter.

Quantum State Discrimination with General Figures of Merit

, 2012
We solve the problem of quantum state discrimination with "general (symmetric) figures of merit" for an even number of symmetric quantum bits with use of the no-signaling principle.

Synthesis and high temperature thermoelectric properties of Yb0.25Co4Sb12-(Ag2Te)x(Sb2Te3)1-x nanocomposites

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2015
Nanocomposites are becoming a new paradigm in thermoelectric study: by incorporating nanophase(s) into a bulk matrix, a nanocomposite often exhibits unusual thermoelectric properties beyond its constituent phases.

Refractive-index sensing with ultra-thin plasmonic nanotubes

, 2012
We study the refractive-index sensing properties of plasmonic nanotubes with a dielectric core and ultra-thin metal shell. The few-nm thin metal shell is described by both the usual Drude model and the nonlocal hydrodynamic model to investigate the ...

Ultimate low system dark count rate for superconducting nanowire single-photon detector [PDF]

, 2015
The dark count rate (DCR) is a key parameter of single-photon detectors. By introducing a bulk optical band-pass filter mounted on a fiber-to-fiber optical bench cooled at 3 K and blocking down to 5 micrometer, we suppressed the DCR of a superconducting ...

Thermoelectric performance of weakly coupled granular materials

, 2009
We study thermoelectric properties of inhomogeneous nanogranular materials for weak tunneling conductance between the grains, g_t < 1. We calculate the thermopower and figure of merit taking into account the shift of the chemical potential and the ...

Figure of merit for photonic differentiators

Optics Express, 2012
We introduce a universal figure of merit to evaluate the processing speed (operation bandwidth) performance of arbitrary-order optical differentiators. In particular, we define the maximum-to-minimum bandwidth ratio (MMBR) as a main figure of merit of these devices, which essentially informs about the broadness of the acceptable input pulse bandwidth ...
