External electro-optic probes fabricated from two different crystal orientations of GaAs have been implemented in an electro-optic sampling system that is capable of mapping three independent orthogonal components of free-space electric fields. The results obtained for the radiated field from a microstrip patch antenna by the GaAs probes are compared with results on the same antenna obtained us...

In this paper, electro-magnetic design and thermal analysis of wheel hub motors, incorporated into the hub of a wheel and driven it directly, of electric vehicles were performed by using analytical and CFD methods. Since thermal management impacts the continuous power capability of electric machines, thermal analysis coupled electro-magnetic analysis are needed to reduce size and improve its pe...

This paper presents the development of low cost Nano membrane fabrication system. The system is specially designed for anodic aluminum oxide membrane. This system is capable to perform the processes such as anodization and electro-polishing. The designed machine was successfully tested for ‘mild anodization’ (MA) for 48 hours and ‘hard anodization’ (HA) for 3 hours at constant 0C. The system is...

We present a scheme for exploiting the nonresonant second-order nonlinearities in electro-optic media to extend the bandwidth of coherent spectroscopy in the far-infrared using ultrafast laser pulses. Using optical rectification and electro-optic sampling in ^110& ZnTe for the generation and coherent detection of freely propagating THz radiation, respectively, we have demonstrated spectral sens...

We introduce a novel method of modeling PLZT phase modulators. Traditionally, modeling has been based upon fitting the constant quadratic electro-optic coefficient to empirical data. Our characterization has shown that the electro-optic coefficient is not a constant and that the electro-optic effect saturates at electric field strengths that exist in standard surface electrode device configurat...

Wearable devices are used to record several physiological signals, providing unobtrusive and continuous monitoring. The main challenge in these systems is to develop new recording sensors ideally envisioning non-contact solutions. In this work we propose a wearable fiber-optic based sensor which basis of operation relies on the electro-active effect. Two main biopotential sensing components wer...
