Analysis of power distribution in mach zehnder interferometer polymer-based waveguide for sensing applications

2022-12 , Mohd. Azarulsani Md. Azidin , Nurjuliana Juhari , Arif Mawardi Ismail , Norhayati Sabani

Two Mach Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) polymer-based waveguide designs namely MZI symmetrical and MZI asymmetrical structures were simulated and analyzed using Optiwave OptiBPM10. The two designs with device size of 4000μm x 300μm exhibit clear optical propagation path when light is simulated through them as well as displaying single mode profile. Highest output power was obtained by the MZI symmetrical design at 0.90 a.u, which suggests better waveguide design for sensing applications.

Development of SOA-MZI based logic gates and all-photonics flip flop

2017 , Mohd. Azarulsani Md. Azidin

Photonics logic gates are actually logic gates that performs various logical functions such as AND, OR and NOT but instead of using electrons, they operate on using light as the main mechanism. XOR logic gates are commonly consist of various components such as optical amplifiers and couplers. These XOR logic gates also apply some of the optical nonlinear effects such as the Cross Gain Modulation (XGM) and Cross Phase Modulation (XPM) as their main operations. Three XOR photonics logic gate configurations (XOR TOAD, XOR SOA-MZI XPM and XOR SOAXGM) are analysed and compared in terms of generated power, optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) and Bit Error Rate (BER). The highest generated power is recorded by XOR TOAD at 23.5 dBm. The XOR SOA-MZI XPM yields the highest OSNR with 109.6 dB and the best BER is observed in the XOR SOA-MZI XGM with the value of 4.42 x 10-22. Eye diagram pattern wise, XOR TOAD showed the widest eye compared to others. All optical flip-flop is also performed in this work which perceived 12 number of ON states with output power of 0.75 mW at 20 Gbps. Whereas at 10 Gbps, there are only 6 ON states with output power of 2.2 mW. This deduces that running at a faster data rate will yield a higher number of ON states but having lower output power. Four SOA-MZI logic gates configurations AND, NOR, OR and NAND are compared in terms of output power. The AND and the NOR SOA-MZI logic gates depicted low output power of 1.220 dBm and 2.446 dBm, respectively. While the OR and the NAND SOA-MZI logic gates demonstrated high output power of 21.738 dBm and 21.018 dBm, respectively. In summary, the XOR SOA-MZI XGM commemorated the best performance among other XOR logic gate setups since it has moderate values of generated power and OSNR, high BER value and comprehensive eye diagram pattern, which concludes minimum noise in the configuration. In all optical flip-flop observation, the higher data rate yields double ON states output but low output power. Finally, in the SOA-MZI logic gates utilizing two SOAs in the arrangement, the output power is small due to the limiting effect by the SOA’s saturation.

Modification of photoanode surface structure via image analysis on organic polymer material based for dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) applications

2021-12 , N. Rosli , Norhayati Sabani , MF Ahmad , Mohd. Azarulsani Md. Azidin , Nurjuliana Juhari , NF Zakaria , Mohd Natashah Norizan , Safizan Shaari

In this study, the experiment on the modification of the photoanode with organic polymer material as copolymer template for dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) applications has been conducted. The two organic copolymer templates are polystyrene sphere (PS) and poly[2- methoxy-5(2-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] (MEH-PPV). The modification photoanodes were made using Dr. Blade’s method. These organic copolymer templates were added to improve the surface of the mesoporous titanium dioxide (TiO₂) layer, which is used as the main component in DSSC photoanode. The unmodified TiO₂ photoanode has poor aggregation and porosity of TiO₂. The addition of either MEH-PPV or PS sphere to the photoanode layer was found to affect the surface of mesoporous TiO₂ in terms of porosity, particle size distribution and shape. The analysis of the TiO2 modification was conducted using an image analysis processing method via a 2D scanning electron microscope (SEM) image. The image analysis processing method used was the ImageJ program. The DSSC of modified photoanode is fabricated using metal complex dye, Ruthenium (N719) dye. The data collected from the ImageJ program showed that by adding organic copolymer templates into TiO₂, the porosity of TiO₂ decreased from 45 % to 42 %. From the photovoltaic analysis obtained, the J-V characteristic is recorded with the photoanode of TiO₂ mixed with 1.00 wt% MEH-PPV gave the highest efficiency, which is 0.01 % with the following parameters – Voc = 0.43 V, Jsc = 0.17 mA/cm2 and FF = 0.20. Meanwhile, the photoanode of TiO₂ mixed with 0.50 wt% PS sphere gave the highest efficiency which is 0.08 % with the following parameters – Voc = 0.39 V, Jsc = 0.86 mA/cm2 and FF = 0.25.

Analysis of an electrically induced optical waveguide in a c-axis barium titanate thin film

2021-12 , Arif Mawardi Ismail , Prabakaran A/L Poopalan , Nurjuliana Juhari , Mohd. Azarulsani Md. Azidin

In this paper, we report our analysis of an electrically generated optical waveguide in a 𝑐- axis barium titanate (BTO) thin film. The waveguide consists of a BTO thin film which is sandwiched between two electrodes. The thin film forms a waveguide when a voltage difference is applied across the electrodes. It is found that the formed waveguide supports both TE and TM modes, with TM modes more tightly confined within the waveguide than TE modes. The possibility to turn the waveguide on and off simply by turning the electric field on and off may prove useful for optical switching.
