Principles and Applications

Jalil Ali Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Johor Bahru

This book presents the use of optical nonlinear behaviors for spins, antennae, and whispering gallery modes within micro/nano devices and circuits, which can be used in many applications. It proposes a new design for a small scale optical device—a microring resonator device. Most chapters are based on the proposed device, which uses a configuration known as a PANDA ring resonator. Analytical and numerical methods demonstrate that many applications can be exploited using this device, in particular when it is coated with metallic material.

Features:

Starting from the polarization induced by an electric field in a material, this book relates the induced polarization to the propagating fields. It describes the properties of the induced polarization through a material response expressed both in the time and frequency domain, addressing the spatial symmetry properties relevant for the various materials. It also discusses the coupling between induced polarization and the propagating field, as well as the generation of new frequency components, on the basis of the nonlinear propagation equation.

Energy Applications Understanding LED Illumination M. Nisa Khan IEM LED Lighting Technologies, New Jersey, USA

"The most comprehensive introductory book in LED lighting."

—Stephen Y. Chou, Princeton University, New Jersey, USA

Optical Modeling and Simulation of Thin-Film Photovoltaic Devices Janez Krc and Marko Topic University of Ljubljana, Slovenia

This book provides an in-depth introduction to the fundamentals and practical aspects of LED lamp design. Covering light generation, efficiency, theoretical limits, efficiency limiting factors, and LED lamp design elements, the text explains the principles of large-space and 3D object illumination for developing competitive LED lamps. It describes how standard LED sources illuminate, why they provide only directional light and produce unwanted glare, and how to design for broader illumination equivalent to existing fluorescent and incandescent lamps.

This work provides readers with a thorough guide to performing optical modeling and simulations of thinfilm solar cells and PV modules. The authors offer insight on examples of existing optical models, demonstrate the applicability of optical modeling, and present concrete directions and solutions for improving the devices. Many practical examples illustrate the use of simulations with the developed models, helping readers better understand and develop their own models as well as appreciate innovative concepts in light management in thin-film PV devices.

Features:

Features:

• Presents design and simulation techniques with real examples that demonstrate how to improve energy efficiency and quality

• Explores new approaches to one-, two-, and three-dimensional optical modeling, including one-dimensional semi-coherent modeling and two-dimensional modeling based on the FEM
