An optimization methodology for designing a dielectric-filled plasmonic slot waveguide is presented. The genetic algorithm combined with a rigorous analysis based on the finite element method is used to optimize a nano-scaled plasmonic slot waveguide to have high mode confinement and a long propagation length, for which the objective function is defined as a figure of merit combining both propagation parameters.

This paper presents a technique to optimize the shape of waveguide components in H-plane. The technique utilizes the numerical optimization process which employs the vector finite element method. In the optimization process, the sensitivity of an objective function with respect to design variables is computed by introducting adjoint variables, which makes the computation easy. The steepest descent method is then employed to update design variables. As a numerical example, an H-plane waveguide teejunction was considered to obtain optimized shape. Comparison between the initial and optimized shape was made.

In this paper, we propose the use of stochastic finite element method, that is popularly employed in mechanical structure analysis, for more practical designing purpose of RF device. The proposed method is formulated based on the vector finite element method cooperated by pertubation analysis. The method utilizes sensitivity analysis algorithm with covariance matrix of the random variables that represent for uncertain physical quantities such as length or various electrical constants to compute the probabilities of the measure of performance of the structure. For this computation one need to know the variance and covariance of the random variables that might be determined by practical experiences. The presenting algorithm has been verified by analyzing several device with different be determined by practical experiences. The presenting algorithm has been verified by analysis several device with different measure of performanes. For the convenience of formulation, two dimensional analysis has been performed to apply it into waveguide with dielectric slab. In the problem the dielectric constant of the dielectric slab is considered as random variable. Another example is matched waveguide and cavity problem. In the problem, the dimension of them are assumed to be as random variables and the expectations and variances of quality factor have been computed.

도파관 (waveguide structures)에 지지구조 또는 균열과 같은 국부적 불연속이 존재하는 경우, 도파관을 따라 전파되는 파동은 이러한 국부적 불연속으로 인해 반사가 발생한다. 빔과 같이 단면의 형상이 단순한 도파관에서는 국부적 불연속에 의한 저주파수 대역 반사 및 투과 특성을 스펙트럴요소(spectral element, SE)와 유한요소(finite element, FE)를 연결한 스펙트럴요소/유한요소법 (SE/FE method)으로 해석 할 수 있다. 그러나 도파관의 단면 형상이 복잡하거나 또는 고주파수 대역 해석에서는 빔 이론에 근거한 스펙트럴 요소를 이용하는 것이 부적합하다. 본 논문에서는 고주파수 대역 파동 반사 및 투과 특성 해석을 위해 스펙트럴요소 대신 스펙트럴수퍼요소 (spectral super element, SSE)를 도입하고, 이를 유한요소와 결합시킨 SSE/FE 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 도파관 모델링에 스펙트럴 수퍼요소를 이용하므로 레일과 같이 단면의 형상이 복잡한 도파관의 고주파수 대역 해석에 적합하다. 본 논문에서는 SSE/FE 해석에 필요한 반무한 SSE(semi-infinite spectral super element)에 대한 정식화를 먼저 수행하고, 이를 FE로 모델링한 국부적 불연속 구간과 연결하여 SSE/FE 모델을 구성하였다. 이 방법의 적용 예로써 단순 형상의 국부적 결함이 존재하는 철로 레일에 대하여 고주파수 대역 파동반사 및 투과계수를 계산하고 그 결과를 살펴보았다. 또한, 입사된 파워가 보존되어야 한다는 조건을 이용해 SSE/FE 방법의 수치오차를 추정하였다.

유한요소법을 이용하여 유전체 도파관의 전파특성을 해석하였다. 자계 3성분에 의한 변분표현방식 Galerkin법을 적용하여 주파수를 파라메터로 해서 전파정수를 구하는 유한요소 표시식을 제안하였다. 이 방법은 조건을 고려해서 해석한 결과 spurious 해는 전혀 나타나지 않았으며 이론치와 잘 일치하였다. 이 해법이 타당성을 확인하기 위하여 부분적으로 유전체가 채워직 구형도파관에 적용하여 수치해석 결과를 다른해석 결과와 비교하였다.

In this article, a 20 kHz ultrasonic waveguide for nano-surface treatment was designed and manufactured. When designing the system, finite element analysis with ANSYS software was performed to find optimal dimensions of the waveguide, which can raise energy efficiency. Consequently an anti-resonance frequency of an Al waveguide with a piezoelectric actuator was 20 kHz, which predicted the experimentally obtained value of 18 kHz well. For the assessment of the performance, Steel Use Stainless (SUS) 304 and chromium molybdenum steel (SCM) 435 specimens were tested. Cross-sectional microscopies of SUS304 were taken and they showed that the treated thickness was $30{\mu}m$. Additionally, hardness tests of SCM435 were done and the hardness before the process was 14.0 Rockwell Hardness-C scale (HRC) and after the process was 20.5 HRC, respectively, which means 46% increase. Considering these results, the developed ultrasonic system is thought to be effective in the nano-surface treatment process.

This paper presents a design methodology for magnetically tunable X-band E-plane type waveguide filters. The proposed design is based on using of quarter wavelength transmission line for compensating the negative length transmission line of end K-inverters of E-plane type waveguide filters. The derived formulae are applied for initial design and the correction method is also provided for final design by considering the frequency dependent characteristic of K-inverters. The analysis results of E-plane pype waveguide structure loaded with ferrite slab are obtained using the edge based finite element method including higher order mode effecets. It is shown that the unilateral finline E-plane type waveguide filter as well as the bilateral finline E-plane type waveguide filter achieves the the manetically tunable characteristic. The X-band experimantal results for bilateral and unilateral finline E-plane type waveguide filters agree well with the simulated data.

We present an efficient design approach for a plasmonic slot waveguide using a genetic algorithm. The analyzed structure consists of a nanometric slot in a thin metallic film embedded within a dielectric. To achieve high confinement without long propagation length, the thickness and width of the slot are optimally designed in order to optimize the figures of merit including mode confinement and propagation length. The optimized design is based on the finite element method and enhances the guiding and focusing of light power propagation.

A small L-type megasonic module for nano-pattern cleaning was designed and manufactured. The impedance graph of the quartz waveguide with a piezoelectric actuator was predicted using finite element method (FEM). The peak value of the piezoelectric actuator alone was 3.373 MHz, which was the same as the experimentally measured value of 3.373 MHz (0.0% error). In addition, the maximum impedance value of the quartz waveguide with the actuator was 3.373 MHz, which agreed well with the measured value of 3.362 MHz (0.3% error). The acoustic pressures of a conventional megasonic system (3 MHz) and the developed system under similar conditions were measured and compared. The results showed that the maximum values and standard deviations of the developed system decreased by 29% and 18%, respectively, compared with the conventional type. This suggests that the small L-type would have higher particle removal efficiency with lower possibilities of pattern damages.
