In this paper, we have analyzed metal-semiconductor-metal photodetectors (MSM-PDs) with different nano-grating structures or shapes to improve the light absorption capacity into the device in details for high-speed communication systems and networks. The plasmonic-based MSM-PD structure demonstrates a significant improvement in light absorption capacity for the developed device compared to conventional MSM-PDs i.e., devices that have not employed the nano-gratings. The light absorption capacity of the device is varied with the variation of geometrical shapes and parameters of the nano-gratings, such as the nano-grating height, slit width and so on. These nano-grating structures are assisting in light transmission through the central slit (i.e., subwavelength apertures) efficiently, resulting in the excitation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) as the incident photons interact with the nano-gratings/ nano-corrugations. This improved light transmission in the central slit along with excited SPPs results in resonant light absorption in the device. This means the light trapped inside the central slit is triggered by the SPPs to a higher order magnitude. This causes the light absorption enhancement for the device, i.e., more light is transmitted through the device instead of reflecting back to the surface. The simulation results demonstrated that the light absorption enhancement factor (LAEF) for these devices have improved dramatically due to the nano-gratings. For modeling and simulation of these devices, Opti-FDTD tool is used which is based on finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. The application of these simulated devices is in the range of 800-850-nm. The simulation results are suitable for the design of nano-structured MSM-PDs that can be used in high-speed communication systems and sensor network systems.

This paper aims to present the impact of using oxidized layer and the effect of oxide aperture size on VCSEL’s modulation performance. After the introduction of oxidized layer, the characteristics of VCSEL have improved immensely, especially in modulation performance. The peak material gain of Al0.06Ga0.24In0.70As/InP MQW VCSEL found from the MATLAB simulation tools has been utilized for investigating the modulation characteristics of the laser model. The optical output power of 27.23 dBm is found at 2.5 mA of current injection. Later, by varying the injection current up to 2.5 mA a maximum frequency of resonance of 10.75 GHz and the equivalent -3dB cut off frequency of 11.85 GHz are achieved. It is seen that with the reduction of oxide aperture size and increase of injection current, the frequency of resonance in addition to the -3dB cut off frequency of the laser increases. The use of oxidized layer and impact of aperture size effect on VCSEL’s -3dB cut off frequency.

This paper presents a comparative study of the application of Thyristor versus IGBT in AC-DC controlled power converter. Both simulation and practical experiment have been carried out to test the relationship between the average output voltage (Vdc) with firing angle (α, for Thyristor) and triggering pulse width (, for IGBT). Also the total harmonic distortion (THD) has been observed in both the cases. It is observed that IGBT based power converter introduces more harmonics in the system, in spite of more symmetrical output voltage wave shape.

Government of Bangladesh (GoB) is implementing an emergency humanitarian project at coastal island Bhasan Char under Hatiya of Noakhali District, from September 2017 to temporarily rehabilitate a portion of incoming Rohinga refugees before they can repatriate to their home land, Myanmar. Under this project, GoB will carry out land development, construction of embankment as well as other infrastructures. This study is aimed at providing partial basic energy support to the government’s initiative of rehabilitating 103,200 Rohinga refugees. Under the study, we check the feasibility of establishing off-grid sustainable energy system. We also perform the financial analysis of the proposed energy system by considering 20 years life-span of the project. Our study shows that annual average solar insolation in Bhasan char is 4.82kWh/m2/day and daily bright sunshine hour varies from 3 hours to 11 hours. Wind flow data of Bhasan char shows the average annual wind speed of 3.74m/s which is available round the clock and throughout the year. These data justify the suitability of environment friendly off-grid solar energy system as well as wind energy system for Bhasan Char. However, considering the effective generation hours, to diversify energy sources and basing on analysis result using HOMER (Hybrid Optimization of Multiple Energy Resources) software – we are proposing a hybrid energy system with 40% contribution from wind and rest 60% from solar. Our financial analysis of the project shows a total cost of 43.848 Crore (USD 0.525 Crore) over 20-year life span. Therefore, a BDT 2.192 Crore/year is quite economical and justifiable, considering the long-term impact that it might provide to displaced 103,200 refugees as well as the solution that we are providing to adverse negative socio-economic impact on Bangladesh from Rohinga issue.

Adaptive interface would enable Human Computer Interaction apply machine learning to cope with human carelessness (mistakes), understand user performance level and provide an interaction interface accordingly. This study tends to translate the theoretical issues of human task into working model by investigating and implementing the predicting equation of human psychomotor behavior to a rapid and aimed movement, developed by Paul Fitt in 1954. The study finds logarithmic speed-accuracy trade-off and predict user performance in a common task “point-select” using common input device mouse. The performance of user is visualized as an evidence and this visualization make a valuable step toward understanding the change required in user interface to make the interface adaptive and consistent. It proposed a method of calculating the amount of change required through learning; add extension to the theory of machine intelligence and increase knowledge of Fitts applicability in terms of machine learning.

This study tends to translate the theoretical issues of human task into working model by investigating and implementing the predicting equation of human psychomotor behavior to a rapid and aimed movement, developed by Paul Fitt in 1954. The study finds logarithmic speed-accuracy trade-off and predict user performance in a common task “point-select” using common input device mouse. The performance of user is visualized as an evidence and this visualization make a valuable step toward understanding the change required in user interface to make the interface adaptive and consistent.
