The behavior of light in small scale optics or nano/micro optical devices has shown promising results, which can be used for basic and applied research, especially in nanoelectronics. Small Scale Optics presents the use of optical nonlinear behaviors for spins, antennae, and whispering gallery modes within micro/nano devices and circuits, which can

This book introduces optical soliton control in micro- and nanoring resonator systems. It describes how the ring resonator systems can be optimized as optical tweezers for photodetection by controlling the input power, ring radii and coupling coefficients of the systems. Numerous arrangements and configurations of micro and nanoring resonator systems are explained. The analytical formulation and optical transfer function for each model and the interaction of the optical signals in the syst...

This book focuses on the development and set-up of fibre Bragg grating (FBG) and no-core fibre (NCF) sensors. It discusses the properties of the sensors and modelling of the resulting devices, which include electronic, optoelectronic, photovoltaic, and spintronic devices. In addition to providing detailed explanations of the properties of FBG and NCF sensors, it features a wealth of instructive illustrations and tables, helping to visualize the respective devices’ functions.

Dynamics of the Changing Global Security Order: Emerging Trends and Key Issues in Asiapresents knowledge, insights and understanding of why and how the US-led unipolar world order is shifting more in a multipolar direction. It demonstrates the influence of power contests involving economic and military weaponry on this new development. It reveals the impact this transformation will have on international security (and the challenges, crises and risks that humanity faces).This volume ...

This book introduces Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) as a vital design tool for architects, urban designers, and planners. In a time defined by climate pressures and urban density, understanding airflow, heat, and pollution is essential for creating liveable, resilient environments. Moving beyond its engineering roots, CFD becomes here a creative, generative instrument—helping designers visualize how air moves through courtyards and city canyons. The book bridges simulation science with...

This book provides a compelling and timely exploration of passive design strategies in the coastal city of Bushehr, revealing how centuries-old architectural wisdom can inform today’s urgent sustainability agenda. Set against the backdrop of escalating global warming and the high energy demand of HVAC systems, it demonstrates how vernacular solutions can significantly enhance building performance in hot–humid climates. Drawing from Bushehr’s rich architectural heritage, the book showcases ...
