The characteristics of an oppositely placed double potential barrier photodetector structure were investigated under longitudinal illumination. functional abilities the silicon n+-p-n+ studied choice impurity concentration in n+- and p- regions provided difference heights barriers near-surface, rear, directed their conjoining high-resistance p-base. widths depletion these varied with a step cha...

In present scenario, there is a need of improving our future wireless communication system, since system suffers from the problem of low spectral efficiency, low link reliability, medium data rates and the problem of frequency selective fading. This problem can be solved by using OFDM signals. The advantage of OFDM is that it has the capacity of overcoming the frequency selective fading problem...

In this paper we explore theory, design, and fabrication of photonic crystal (PhC) based selective thermal emitters. In particular, we focus on tailoring spectral and spatial properties by means of resonant enhancement in PhC’s. Firstly, we explore narrow-band resonant thermal emission in photonic crystals exhibiting strong spectral and directional selectivity. We demonstrate two interesting de...

This article proposes an illuminant estimation algorithm that estimates the spectral power distribution of an incident light source from a single image. The proposed illumination recovery procedure has two phases. First, the surface spectral reflectances are recovered. In this case, the surface spectral reflectances recovered are limited to the maximum achromatic region (MAR) which is the most ...

The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) was designed to achieve a signal-to-noise of at least 100:1 per resolution element. MAMA observations during Servicing Mission Orbital Verification (SMOV) confirm that this specification can be met. From analysis of a single spectrum of GD153, with counting statistics of ∼ 165 a S/N of ∼ 125 is achieved per spectral resolution element in the FUV o...

We present an efficient tool capable of measuring the spectral correlations between photons emerging from a Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometer. We show that for our spectrally factorizable spontaneous down-conversion source, the Hong-Ou-Mandel interference visibility decreases as the photons’ frequency spread is increased to a maximum of 165 nm. Unfiltered, we obtained a visibility of 92.0% ± 0.2%. ...
