Optically Transparent Antennas and Filters for Smart City CommunicationGreen, Ryan B 01 January 2019 (has links)
Incremental usage of mobile devices demand a new generation of wireless networks (5G) to provide faster data rates, more reliable coverage, monitor city infrastructure usage, and increase network capacity. The frequencies proposed for the upcoming 5G network would result in shorter broadcast distances and network dead zones, countered by incorporating transparent antennas into glass high rises. Transparent antennas possess, however a major challenge: low gain. This lower gain can be countered by means of employing antennas in an antenna array, boosting the gain and even giving the array the ability to beam form for the upcoming 5G network. The 5G dead zones can be countered with strategically placed transparent reflectors embedded into the glass surfaces of city high-rises.
This dissertation shows there are significant effects due to the transparent antennas’ carrier concentration and film thickness. Changes in film conductivity and thicknesses results in shifts for filter and antenna resonances. A 4x1 GZO antenna array was constructed to operate at 5.8 GHz, and the results show approximately 10dBi of lower aperture gain between a copper version of the array and the GZO version of the array. However, the 4x1 GZO array shows an approximate 12dBi increase in gain over a single GZO antenna element.
The technology developed in this dissertation has a broader impact other than for smart cities and the upcoming 5G network. Transparent antenna arrays offer sight insensitive military communication systems and eye-worn medical and commercial devices to monitor eye health and other various health signs.

Structural Information Content of the Optical FieldMartinsson, Per January 2009 (has links)
The communication modes are a mathematical technique for the description of structural information in optical fields. These modes are orthogonal, optimally connected functions characteristic of the optical system. Mathematically they are obtained by the singular value decomposition (SVD) of the operator that represents the field propagation. In this dissertation, the foundations of the technique are described, and the theory is extended and applied to a variety of specific systems. In the Fresnel regime, the communication modes are closely related to the prolate spheroidal wavefunctions (PSWF). Within this approximation, the numerical propagation of the field in a one-dimensional optical system in terms of the PSWFs is demonstrated and the problem of assessing the best achievable realization of a given target field is addressed. Simplified equations for field propagation are presented. Approximate modes in large-aperture systems are derived and shown to agree with Gabor's theory on optics and information. The longitudinal resolution of an axicon is analyzed in terms of the communication modes. It is shown that in a generalized axicon geometry the communication modes are expressible in terms of the PSWFs, and that in usual circumstances a version of the large aperture approximation applies, resulting in quadratic waves in the aperture domain and sinc functions in the image domain Eigenequations for the communication modes in scalar near-field diffraction are derived and applied to a simplified scanning near-field optical microscope (SNOM) geometry. It is suggested that the resolution of a SNOM system is essentially given by the width of the lowest-order communication modes. The best-connected mode is shown to effectively reduce to the Green function. Within the context of random fluctuations the communication modes are defined for the cross-spectral density of partially coherent fields. These modes are compared to the well-known coherent modes. Expressions for the effective degree of coherence are derived, and it is demonstrated that optical fields of any state of coherence may readily be propagated through deterministic systems by means of the communication modes. Results are illustrated numerically in an optical near-field geometry. The communication modes theory is further extended to vector diffraction on the basis of Maxwell's equations. The polarization properties of the electromagnetic communication modes as represented by the Stokes parameters are analyzed numerically for an example of a near-field geometry. The work presented in this dissertation shows that the communication modes are an advanced, versatile tool that can be applied to deterministic and random, scalar and electromagnetic optical systems in far-field and near-field arrangements. The method is likely to find further uses in applications such as polarization microscopy. / QC 20100802

Entanglement in quantum communication : preparation and characterization of photonic qubitsLjunggren, Daniel January 2006 (has links)
At the heart of quantum physics lies the principle of superposition, and at the heart of information theory lies the bit. Perhaps the most useful property of quantum systems is that they can be loaded with information bits, so-called qubits, that are indefinitely both 0 and 1 until a measurement is made. Another consequence is that several qubits can become entangled, which is manifested by the non-classical correlations between such quantum systems when measured in all possible bases. Within the rapidly progressing fields of quantum information and quantum communication these quantum effects are utilized to perform tasks such as quantum computing and quantum cryptography. In this thesis we present experimental and theoretical work using single photon sources to prepare ``flying'' photonic qubits. We describe work using mainly quasi-phase-matched nonlinear crystals to generate beams of entangled photon pairs, that are either encoded in polarization at near-visible wavelengths, or in time at optical fiber telecommunication wavelengths (1550 nm). The optical fiber is the medium used for transporting the qubits over a long distance, and it is therefore essential to couple the photons well into the fibers. By focusing the beams optimally, we have investigated how this problem can meet the requirement of creating photons of a narrow frequency bandwidth and a high photon flux. Furthermore, we have generated truly single photons that are heralded by an electrical signal. As a result of modifying the statistics of such sources we have been able to show the effect of photon antibunching. In two separate works, we have implemented a quantum key distribution system based on faint laser pulses at the telecom wavelength of 1550 nm, as well as protocols based on entanglement for performing authentication of key distribution in quantum cryptography. / QC 20100909
