A D-shaped fiber-optic surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor with MXene (Ti3C2Tx) is proposed as the sensing enhancement material. spin coating method was used to cover gold film fiber SPR a layer of MXene. Experimentally, sensor's sensitivity, full width at half maximum (FWHM), and figure merit (FOM) are discussed. The effect various concentrations on sensors investigated. results demonstrate...

We demonstrate an improvement by more than 1 order of magnitude of the figure of merit (FoM) of plasmonic nanoparticle sensors by means of the diffractive coupling of localized surface plasmon resonances. The coupling in arrays of nanoparticles leads to Fano resonances with narrow line widths known as surface lattice resonances, which are very suitable for the sensitive detection of small chang...

Best-first chart parsing utilises a figure of merit (FOM) to efficiently guide a parse by first attending to those edges judged better. In the past it has usually been static; this paper will show that with some extra information, a parser can compensate for FOM flaws which otherwise slow it down. Our results are faster than the prior best by a factor of 2.5; and the speedup is won with no sign...

In this equation, n represents the number of Figures of Merit (FoMs) that are to be combined, xi represents the output of the scoring function for the ith FoM and wi represents the weight of importance assigned to the ith FoM. The Product Tradeoff Function is commonly used for example in computing cost to benefit ratios and in doing risk analyses. Unfortunately, the published equation on page 1...

In a classical PLL, the phase detector (PD) and charge pump (CP) noise is multiplied by N, when referred to the VCO output, due to the divide-by-N in the feedback path. It often dominates the in-band phase noise and limits the achievable PLL jitter•power Figure-Of-Merit (FOM). A sub-sampling PLL uses a PD that sub-samples the high frequency VCO output with the reference clock. The PD and CP noi...

This review paper provides a detailed overview of figure-of-merits (FOM) Direct Current triboelectric nanogenerators (DC-TENGs). TENG represent potentially ground-breaking technology for extracting mechanical energy from the environment. The FOM is critical parameter that determines efficiency conversion. discusses various working modes DC-TENGs and also research done to maximize output charge ...

The refractive index sensor based on the Fano resonance effect (that is, sensor) is one promising branch of plasmonic sensing applications owing to its narrow spectral line shape. Further improvement in sensitivity and figure merit (FOM) main issue this field. In contrast sensor, herein, we report a novel ultra-sensitive axial length ratio transmitted elliptically polarized light chiral structu...

Since the track-length estimator is the best solo estimator, the comparison in the above Vgure of the combined estimator to the track-length estimator is a realistic evaluation of the combined estimator. Values larger than 1.0 indicate that the combined estimator performs better than the track-length estimator. The dark central line is the mean fom ratio over the slab width, while the shaded ba...
