    Smart embedded-analytics sensors with cloud-based measurement system for HVAC
    HVAC system is a necessary component of environment to maintain the temperature and humidity to be kept at certain levels by using air taken from outside to ensure the indoor comfort. The purpose of the study is to reduce the electricity energy usage and cost from air conditioning by using smart embedded-analytics sensors to provide the automatic thermal control in an area. In this study, we used sensors such as temperature and humidity sensors to detect and read the currently temperature and humidity of an area monitored by a microcontroller. The cloud-based system and the sensors are connected via wifi in the presence of MQTT protocol. The protocol enables publish and subscribe method which provide the communication between sensors, cloud-based system and HVAC system. This communication can serve thermal control automatically thus resulting the optimize usage of energy from air conditioning according to the external environment temperature and humidity. The control of the temperature and humidity from air conditioning can be designed through the programming embedded in the microcontroller. The monitoring result can be displayed from the control panel to ensure how the system works.

    Generation Orbital Angular Momentum Modes Using Metasurfaces
    The purpose of this study is to investigate how numerous orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes may be produced by mixing acoustic plane beams with different metasurfaces. This study proposes a novel metasurface that may be simulated in order to generate OAM beams. Multi-beam and multi-mode terahertz wave incidence are produced utilizing vortex modes in the beams. The study of suitable OAM superpositions of waveguide eigenmodes is done using COMSOL Multiphysic, followed by a description of the software's usage and examples of challenges involved. With the existence of these studies, we can also prove that the mode can be produced completely with the results that have been studied. Based on the results obtained, an objective was achieved, which is to design the feature of the vortex beam modes. These results include the construction of a multi-functional vortex beam based on a theoretical model of phase gradient distribution. Also, by using metasurface mimics to specify a periodic structure specified by the user from the built-in unit cell, and the beam was attenuated and split into two paths inside the thin layer. Finally, the simulation process between 2D and 3D is very significant because the mesh and geometry in a design are very different, but generating a beam using COMSOL already has a specific module, namely the wave optic module, which can be used to predict the beam modes.

    FPGA based Quantum Key Distribution Electronic System for Multipurpose Optical Setup and Protocols
    The purpose of the FPGA electronic control system for Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is to improve the analog electronic system in optoelectronic conversion. In the existence of the Mezzanine FPGA board, the main conversion of optical laser signal and optical detector signal can be improved. Mezzanine board can reduce the noise errors during the transmission and receiving a signal. Commonly, the optical signal needs to interface with an analog electronic system. This process requires the conversion process and interfacing with a digital signal to control the optical device and produce a good quality optical signal. The Mezzanine board can reduce the uncertainty during signal conversion and gives the digital capability to control the optical devices. The optical modulation signal for phase modulator control can achieve a full complete phase shift in the Mezzanine board. Plus, the voltage phase has capability up to 10 V with an accuracy of 2.4 µV. The time conversion for phase modulator can be extended in the Mezzanine board based on the digital control signal from FPGA. The system is capable to extend into multiple timing control to handle all the signal and to synchronize the signal in receiving, transmission or in between of the transmission. Thus, the system can handle one way or two-way QKD system accordingly.

    Two dimensional (2D) OCDMA encoder-decoder for various industrial application
    Future telecommunication systems and networks are expected to provide a variety of integrated broadband services to the customers. There has been a tremendous interest in applying Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) techniques to fiber optic communication systems. This technique is one of the multiple access schemes that is becoming popular because of the flexibility in the allocation of channels, ability to operate asynchronously, enhanced privacy and increased capacity in bursty networks. This project is focusing on designing 2D OCDMA system with the hardware implementation of design using FPGA. The coding techniques in OCDMA are time versus wavelength and amplitude versus phase. 2D OCDMA coding incorporates both wavelength selection and time distribution. The data bit would be encoded as consecutive chips with various wavelengths. The code architecture seeks to produce codes with high autocorrelation and low cross-correlation properties. Code length is an essential aspect of code and device architecture for coding characteristics. The hardware implementation of the system is designed by using FPGA De1-SoC. The FPGA have the abilities to enhance the transmission of data to the receiver in a short period of time. The performance of 2D OCDMA system is expected to surpass 1D OCDMA system in terms of BER and the number of simultaneous users that can be supported. The system encoder and decoder were designed using optical switch, splitter, combiner and modulator. The performance of 2D OCDMA system in terms of time spreading and wavelength spreading is also compared which shown a huge difference in the results. The best performance of the system is when the number of wavelength (M) is fixed to 18 and the number of times spreading (N) is 31 which can support 350 more simultaneous users.
