The accuracy of photometric redshifts (photo-zs) particularly affects the results analyses galaxy clustering with photometrically-selected galaxies (GCph) and weak lensing. In next decade, space missions like Euclid will collect measurements for millions galaxies. These data should be complemented upcoming ground-based observations to derive precise accurate photo-zs. this paper, we explore how...

PURPOSE The aim of this research was to explore x-ray beam parameters with intent to optimize pediatric x-ray settings in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. This study examined the effects of peak x-ray tube voltage (kVp) and of copper (Cu) x-ray beam filtration independently on the image quality to dose balance for pediatric patient sizes. The impact of antiscatter grid removal on the ima...

Geometry, nonlinearity, dispersion and two-photon absorption figure of merit of three basic silicon-organic hybrid waveguide designs are compared. Four-wave mixing and heterodyne pump-probe measurements show that all designs achieve high nonlinearities. The fundamental limitation of two-photon absorption in silicon is overcome using silicon-organic hybrid integration, with a five-fold improveme...

Abstract The sensing performance of a bimetallic core-shell nanotube is studied theoretically based on the theory TE-polarized light scattering by multilayer infinite cylinder. consists metallic core and shell with analyte inserted between shell. It found that absorption efficiency spectra exhibit three resonance peaks correspond to dipole, quadrupole sextupole mode. As refractive index increas...

In this study, a surface plasmon resonance based on Mach–Zehnder interferometer is produced by combining two normal Single mode fibers with Photonic Crystal Fiber SMF-PCF-SMF for measuring the refractive index (RI) ion toxic metal lead. center of sensor, small portion (4 cm) PCF created, and after process tapering complete, gold deposited thickness about (40 nm). A photonic crystal fiber's gold...

We have demonstrated both numerically and experimentally a 2D plasmonic metamaterial the unit cell of which comprised an Archimedean spiral with C-shaped resonator. Such metasurface enables excitation spoof localized plasmon resonances (LPRs) in terahertz frequency range, similar properties to familiar LPRs visible range. compared thin-film sensing potentials fundamental dark resonant modes sup...

Herein, a novel cavity design of racetrack integrated circular established on metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguide is suggested for refractive index sensing application. Over the past few years, we have witnessed several unique designs to improve performance plasmonic sensors created MIM waveguide. The optimized can provide best performance. In this work, numerically analyzed device by utilizi...
