A Subwavelength Microwave Bandpass Filter Based on a Chiral Waveguide

Maliheh Khatibi Moghaddam, Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury

Wave manipulation at a subwavelength scale has recently attracted significant interest, especially for low-frequency wave propagation, from acoustic to microwave devices. Recently, a few methods achieving subwavelength routing using locally resonant metama ...

Evaluating Materials Design Parameters of Hole-Selective Contacts for Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells

Christophe Ballif, Mathieu Gérard Boccard, Jan Haschke, Rachel Emma Woods-Robinson, Angela Nicole Fioretti

Silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cell efficiencies are limited by parasitic absorption from the hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) front contact, but this may be mitigated by selecting an alternative carrier selective contact material with a wider b ...

A scalable, line-independent control design algorithm for voltage and frequency stabilization in AC islanded microgrids

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate, Michele Tucci

We propose a decentralized control synthesis procedure for stabilizing voltage and frequency in AC Islanded microGrids (ImGs) composed of Distributed Generation Units (DGUs) and loads interconnected through power lines. The presented approach enables Plug- ...

Advanced linear models for gyro-backward wave instabilities in gyrotrons

Jérémy Genoud

Parasitic oscillations excitation is one of the main point hindering high-power gyrotron operation for fusion application. These instabilities, besides being dangerous for the gyrotron components, could possibly degrade the electron beam quality before it ...

Multimode microwave circuit optomechanics as a platform to study coupled quantum harmonic oscillators

Nathan Rafaël Bernier

Harmonic oscillators might be one of the most fundamental entities described by physics. Yet they stay relevant in recent research. The topological properties associated with exceptional points that can occur when two modes interact have generated much int ...

Modeling of parasitic oscillations in smooth-wall circular symmetric dielectric-loaded gyrotron beam ducts

Stefano Alberti, Jean-Philippe Hogge, Jérémy Genoud

The self-consistent simulation of the electron beam interaction was performed in the presence of a lossy dielectric layer in the smooth-wall beam duct of a gyrotron oscillator. For this purpose, the linear and spectral code TWANGlinspec was extended. In th ...
