  • Integrated Photonics for Sensing Applications

    • 1st Edition
    • Anu Agarwal + 2 more
    • English
    Integrated Photonics for Sensing Applications introduces sensors as an important application area for integrated photonics. It provides a brief historical perspective and highlights key free-space spectroscopic sensing techniques such as FTIR, Raman, SPR, and reflectometry, and it thoroughly explores the advantages of photonic integrated circuit (PIC) sensor systems, which have the potential for low SWAP-C and high performance.The topics covered include sensor system components such as waveguides (for optical wavelengths less than and greater than 1550 nm), ring resonators and toroids, photonic crystals, MZ interferometers, light input and output, light sources (wavelengths less than and greater than 1550 nm), and spectrometers and detectors. The book considers integrated systems that employ biofunctionalization... for applications in chem–bio sensing, and it also addresses sensor manufacturing at scale, including materials, PDK development, and sensor packaging.

  • Fractal Soil Mechanics

    • 1st Edition
    • Yongfu Xu
    • English
    Fractal Soil Mechanics, Second Edition presents a detailed approach to understanding soil behavior by applying fractal geometry to characterize soil structure and mechanics. Drawing on over 30 years of research, the author develops original fractal models that link the micro-scale complexity of soil pores and particle fragmentation to macro-scale mechanical properties. The book systematically explores fractal dimensions of soil surfaces and particles, methods for their determination, and their application in modeling unsaturated soil mechanics, effective stress principles, swelling behavior of expansive soils, and shear strength criteria. Through comprehensive theoretical development, experimental data analysis, and numerical simulations, the book offers fresh insights into soil-water interactions, scaling laws, and critical state behavior, providing a robust framework for researchers and engineers to predict soil performance with greater accuracy. The book equips researchers, postgraduate students, and practicing engineers with innovative tools and perspectives to tackle complex soil mechanics problems, bridging the gap between empirical soil mechanics and microstructural analysis.
