The Application of Low Temperature Plasma in COMSOL Multiphysics

Cheng-Che (Jerry) Hsu[1]
[1]Department of Chemical Engineering, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan

Multiphysics simulation was used in this work to model inductively coupled plasmas (ICPs). Developing a model of an ICP is challenging due to the complex relationship between the applied electric field and mixture of chemical species that develops. A preliminary model was developed and ...

Modeling of a Nonlinear Hybrid Plasmonic Waveguide for Enhanced Surface Plasmon Polaritons Through Optical Parametric Amplification

D. Wang[1], T. Li[1], S. Wang[1], S. Zhu[1]
[1]Nanjing University, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China

Surface Plasmon Polaritions (SPPs), as electromagnetic waves localized at the surface of a metal, enjoy the unique properties to confine energy into sub-wavelength scale, which is beneficial for future photonic integration. However, the severe absorption caused by the metal influences ... Read More
