Simulation de la propagation d'ondes électromagnétiques en nano-optique par une méthode Galerkine discontinue d'ordre élevé / Simulation of electromagnetic waves propagation in nano-optics with a high-order discontinuous Galerkin time-domain methodViquerat, Jonathan 10 December 2015 (has links)
L’objectif de cette thèse est de développer une méthode Galerkine discontinue d’ordre élevé capable de prendre en considération des simulations réalistes liées à la nanophotonique. Au cours des dernières décennies, l’évolution des techniques de lithographie a permis la création de structure géométriques de tailles nanométriques, révélant ainsi une large gamme de phénomènes nouveaux nés de l’interaction lumière-matière à ces échelles. Ces effets apparaissent généralement pour des objets de taille égale ou (très) inférieure à la longueur d’onde du champ incident. Ce travail repose sur le développement et l’implémentation de modèles de dispersion appropriés (principalement pour les métaux), ainsi que sur un large éventail de méthodes computationnelles classiques. Deux développements méthodologiques majeurs sont présentés et étudiés en détails: (i) les éléments courbes, et (ii) l’ordre d’approximation local. Ces études sont accompagnées de plusieurs cas-tests réalistes tirés de la nanophotonique. / The goal of this thesis is to develop a discontinuous Galerkin time-domain method to be able to handle realistic nanophotonics computations. During the last decades, the evolution of lithography techniques allowed the creation of geometrical structures at the nanometer scale, thus unveiling a variety of new phenomena arising from light-matter interactions at such levels. These effects usually occur when the device is of comparable size or (much) smaller than the wavelength of the incident field. This work relies on the development and implementation of appropriate models for dispersive materials (mostly metals), as well as on a large panel of classical computational techniques. Two major methodological developments are presented and studied in details: (i) curvilinear elements, and (ii) local order of approximation. This work is complemented with several physical studies of real-life nanophotonics applications.

[en] INVESTIGATION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC PROPAGATION IN PLASMA STRUCTURES THROUGH EIGENFUNCTION EXPANSIONS AND FDTD TECHNIQUES / [pt] INVESTIGAÇÃO DE PROPAGAÇÃO ELETROMAGNÉTICA EM ESTRUTURAS DE PLASMA ATRAVÉS DE EXPANSÕES EM AUTOFUNÇÕES E TÉCNICAS FDTDJULIO DE LIMA NICOLINI 18 July 2017 (has links)
[pt] Plasma é um dos quatro estados fundamentais da matéria, presente em forma natural na Terra na ionosfera, em relâmpagos e nas chamas resultantes de combustão, assim como em forma artificial em lâmpadas de neônio, lâmpadas fluorescentes e processos industriais. O comportamento de plasmas é extraordinariamente complexo e variado, como por exemplo a formação espontânea de características espaciais interessantes em variadas escalas diferentes de comprimento. Uma antena de plasma, por sua vez, é uma estrutura radiante baseada em um elemento de plasma em vez de um condutor metálico, o que gera diversas vantagens e características úteis de um ponto de vista tecnológico. Nesse presente trabalho, uma investigação da propagação eletromagnética dentro de estruturas de plasma é realizada através de métodos teóricos e numéricos como um primeiro passo em direção ao desenvolvimento de modelos apropriados para o estudo de antenas de plasma. / [en] Plasma is one of the four fundamental states of matter, present on Earth in natural form at the ionosphere, in lightning strikes and in the flames resulting from combustion, as well as in artificial form in neon signs, fluorescent light bulbs and industrial processes. Plasma behaviour is extraordinarily complex and varied, e.g. the spontaneous formation of interesting spatial features over a wide range of length scales. A plasma antenna, on the other hand, is a radiating structure based in a plasma element instead of a metallic conductor, which creates several technological advantages and useful characteristics. In this present work, an investigation of electromagnetic propagation inside of plasma structures is performed through both theoretical and numerical means as a first step towards constructing appropriate models for the study of plasma antennas.

Time Domain SAR Processing with GPUs for Airborne PlatformsLagoy, Dustin 24 March 2017 (has links)
A time-domain backprojection processor for airborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has been developed at the University of Massachusetts’ Microwave Remote Sensing Lab (MIRSL). The aim of this work is to produce a SAR processor capable of addressing the motion compensation issues faced by frequency-domain processing algorithms, in order to create well focused SAR imagery suitable for interferometry. The time-domain backprojection algorithm inherently compensates for non-linear platform motion, dependent on the availability of accurate measurements of the motion. The implementation must manage the relatively high computational burden of the backprojection algorithm, which is done using modern graphics processing units (GPUs), programmed with NVIDIA’s CUDA language. An implementation of the Non-Equispaced Fast Fourier Transform (NERFFT) is used to enable efficient and accurate range interpolation as a critical step of the processing. The phase of time- domain processed imagery is dif erent than that of frequency-domain imagery, leading to a potentially different approach to interferometry. This general purpose SAR processor is designed to work with a novel, dual-frequency S- and Ka-band radar system developed at MIRSL as well as the UAVSAR instrument developed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. These instruments represent a wide range of SAR system parameters, ensuring the ability of the processor to work with most any airborne SAR. Results are presented from these two systems, showing good performance of the processor itself.

A Close Look at the Transient Sky in a Neighbouring GalaxyTikare, Kiran January 2020 (has links)
Study of the time variable sources and phenomena in Astrophysics provides us with important insights into the stellar evolution, galactic evolution, stellar population studies and cosmological studies such as number density of dark massive objects. Study of these sources and phenomena forms the basis of Time Domain surveys, where the telescopes while scanning the sky regularly for a period of time provides us with positional and temporal data of various Astrophysical sources and phenomena happening in the Universe. Our vantage point within the Milky Way galaxy greatly limits studying our galaxy in its entirety. In such a scenario our nearest neighbour The Andromeda galaxy (M31) proves to be an excellent choice as its proximity and inclination allows us to resolve millions of stars using space based telescopes. Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) is a new optical time domain survey at Palomar Observatory, which has collected data in the direction of M31 for over 6 months using multiple filters. This Thesis involves exploitation of this rich data set. Stars in M31 are not resolved in ZTF as it is a ground based facility. This requires us to use the large public catalogue of stars observed with Hubble Space Telescope (HST): The Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury (PHAT). The PHAT catalogue provides us with stellar coordinates and observed brightness for millions of resolved stars in the direction of the M31 in multiple filters. Processing of the large volumes of data generated by the time domain surveys, requires us to develop new data processing pipelines and utilize statistical techniques for determining various statistical features of the data and using machine learning algorithms to classify the data into different categories. End result of such processing of the data is the astronomical catalogues of various astrophysical sources and phenomena and their light curves. In this thesis we have developed a data processing and analysis pipeline based on Forced Aperture Photometry Technique. Since the stars are not resolved in ZTF, we performed photometry at pixel level. Only small portion of the ZTF dataset has been analyzed and photometric light curves have been generated for few interesting sources. In our preliminary investigations we have used a Machine Learning Algorithm to classify the resulting time series data into different categories. We also performed cross comparison with data from other studies in the region of the Andromeda galaxy.

Metody analýzy přenosových struktur v časové oblasti. / Techniques of time-domain analysis of interconnects.Lábsky, Balázs January 2009 (has links)
This work deals with techniques of time-domain analysis of interconnects. After a studying crucial issue of time-domain analysis of interconnects methods of modeling and simulation simple interconnects in electrotechnics are described. For transient effect analysis two elementary methods can be used: the state variable method and the FDTD (Finite - Difference Time - Domain) method. The FDTD method can be used to solve partial differential equations in time domain, for instance equations of transmission lines. The method is very effective and delivers satisfactory results in case of linear and non-linear lines with a single “live” conductor. The method can be easily programmed in Matlab.

Dielektrická spektroskopie karboxymetylcelulózy v časové oblasti / Time-domain Dielectric Spectroscopy of CarboxymethylcellulosePalai-Dany, Tomáš January 2009 (has links)
The dissertation deals with the time-domain dielectric relaxation spectroscopy of carboxymethylcellulose. The main attention was paid to the experimental part of research, mainly to the design and subsequent development of an experimental setup for the measurement of discharge currents and for their processing and analysis. The subject of the measurement is carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), which is a simple polysaccharide used in wide range of applications, among else also in biomedical engineering. The study of CMC properties has required the development of a new experimental set-up of original design, which includes the equilibration (short-circuiting) of a sample before the measurement, charging and discharging at defined time intervals, switching between these two modes, recording of measurement, adjustments and processing of measured signals up to Fourier transformation into the frequency domain and, finally, calculation of complex permittivity of the sample. The frequency dependence of complex permittivity or its imaginary part, obtained by Fourier transformation of discharge current in time domain, is then referred to as the dielectric spectrum. In view of the fact that current measurements were done at very low levels of measured signal (below 10-12 A) the whole measurement was no easy matter. The framework of the work also necessitated studies and subsequent resolution of problems associated with shielding, grounding, presence of noise and sensitivity to various ambient influences. The research work focused on a reliable and trustworthy measurement of very low discharge currents and, subsequently, mathematical processing of noise present in them, i.e., operations with the original, experimentally established signal in time domain, leading in principle to a digital filtration of measured dielectric data. A further pursued objective is the explanation of dielectric parameters of tested carboxymethylcellulose sample in the widest possible frequency spectrum. The integral part of the research was the selection and application of the method for the transformation of the adjusted signal to the frequency domain. The experimental works, including data processing, were carried out in the Department of Physics, Brno FEEC BUT. Measurements were done with Keithley 617 Electrometer, HP4284A Frequency Analyzer and Janis CCS-400-204 cryogenic system. The results were completed with results obtained at the V Department of Experimental Physics, Centre for Electronic Correlations and Magnetism, University of Augsburg, Germany.

Studium transportu náboje v polovodičových nanostrukturách pomocí časově rozlišené multi-terahertzové spektroskopie / Charge transport in semiconductor nanostructures investigated by time-resolved multi-terahertz spectroscopyKuchařík, Jiří January 2019 (has links)
Terahertz conductivity spectra contain information on charge transport mechanisms and charge confinement on nanometer distances. In this thesis, we make a substantial progress in understanding of terahertz conductivity in several regimes. First, we theoretically investigate linear terahertz conductivity of confined electron gas: while the spectra of degenerate electron gas exhibit geometrical resonances, the response in non-degenerate case smears into a single broad resonance due to the wide distribution of charge velocities. Then, we theoretically and experimentally analyze various TiO2 nanotube layers: their linear charge transport properties strongly depend on the fabrication process, which influences the internal structure of the nanotube walls. In the main part of the thesis, we develop a framework for evaluation of the nonlinear terahertz response of semiconductor nanostructures based on microscopic Monte-Carlo calculations. The nonlinear regime is highly non-perturbative even in moderate fields as illustrated by efficient high harmonics generation. We investigate measurable nonlinear signals for various semiconductor nanostructures; metallic nanoslits filled with nanoelements are the most promising for the experimental observation of terahertz nonlinearities. These nonlinearities per unit charge are...
