Numerical Modeling of Alkaline Fuel Cell

S. Dudi[1], R. K. Krishnan[2]
[1]IIT Madras, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India
[2] ARCI, IITM Research Park, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India

A fuel cell is an efficient and clean alternative power source of energy. Alkaline anion exchange membrane (AAEM) fuel cells are one in which conduction of oH- (hydroxyl ion) take place. The advantages of using alkaline fuel cells over proton exchange membrane fuel cells is that ... Read More

Low Cost All Optical Swept Source for Optical Communication Applications

J. T. Andrews[1], S. Chaurasiya[1], O. P. Chaudhary[1], D. Agarwal[1]
[1]National MEMS Design, Department of Applied Physics, Shri G S Institute of Technology & Science, Indore Madhya Pradesh, India

By introducing a periodic modulation in a waveguide, it is possible to create an interaction between forward-traveling and backward-traveling modes of an optical waveguide. Bragg grating may be a one dimensional diffraction grating which diffracts light from the forward-traveling mode ... Read More
