Design and Development of a Shortwave near Infrared Spectroscopy using NIR LE...IJECEIAES
Near infrared (NIR) spectroscopic technology has been getting more attention in various fields. The development of a low cost NIR spectroscopy is crucial to reduce the financial barriers so that more NIR spectroscopic applications will be investigated and developed by means of the NIR spectroscopic technology. This study proposes an alternative to measure shortwave NIR spectrum using one collimating lens, two slits, one NIR transmission grating, one linear array sensor, and one microcontroller. Five high precision narrow bands NIR light emitting diodes (LEDs) were used to calibrate the proposed spectroscopy. The effects of the proposed two slits design, the distance between the grating and linear array sensor, and three different regression models were investigated. The accuracy of the proposed design was cross-validated using leave-one-out cross-validation. Results show that the proposed two slits design was able to eliminate unwanted signals substantially, and the cross-validation was able to estimate the best model with root mean squared error of cross-validation of 3.8932nm. Findings indicate that the cross-validation approach is a good approach to estimate the final model without over-fitting, and the proposed shortwave NIR spectroscopy was able to estimate the peak value of the acquired spectrum from NIR LEDs with RMSE of 1.1616nm.
The establishment of sensor systems has elated recompenses such as measurement in flammable and explosive atmospheres, resistance to electrical noises, trimness, geometrical suppleness, measurement of slight sample volumes, remote sensing in unreachable sites or harsh atmospheres and multi-sensing. Biosensors are logical devices composed of a recognition component of biological origin and a physico-chemical transducer. Immobilization plays a foremost character in developing the biosensor by incorporating both the above mentioned mechanisms. In this paper, the real world applications pertaining the analysis of fiber optic sensors and biosensors for environmental and clinical monitoring have been reviewed.

Design of a Selective Filter based on 2D Photonic Crystals Materials IJECEIAES
Two dimensional finite differences temporal domain (2D-FDTD) numerical simulations are performed in cartesian coordinate system to determine the dispersion diagrams of transverse electric (TE) of a two-dimension photonic crystal (PC) with triangular lattice. The aim of this work is to design a filter with maximum spectral response close to the frequency 1.55 μm. To achieve this frequency, selective filters PC are formed by combination of three waveguides W 1 K A wherein the air holes have of different normalized radii respectively r 1 /a=0.44, r 2 /a=0.288 and r /a= 0.3292 (a: is the periodicity of the lattice with value 0.48 μm). Best response is obtained when we insert three small cylindrical cavities (with normalized radius of 0.17) between the two half-planes of photonic crystal strong lateral confinement.

Design Study of a Miniaturized Multi-layered Antenna-in-package for 2.4 GHZ ...IJECEIAES
This paper proposes a novel miniaturization technique to enhance the radiation properties of small multi-layer patch antenna used in packaged circuits. The multilayered antenna design is composed of three layers with different shapes. An enhancement on the radiation properties has been obtained by optimizing the geometry of the radiated element and the parasitic conductor of the middle layer. The whole design has been implemented on the FR4 substrate with dielectric constant of 4.4, thickness of 1.6 mm and Copper thickness of 5 m. The first layer is a driven element while second and the third layer are parasitic patch elements. The optimized multilayer antenna has a very small size of . Considering the small size of the antenna, a detailed study of the parameter affecting the radiation has been considered to force the antenna to operate at 2.4 GHz band. Miniaturization techniques based on the current distribution have been also taken into account to shift down the resonant frequency and reduces more and more the antenna size at the designed operating frequency. The miniaturized antenna maintains performant radiation characteristics in terms of reflexion coefficient, bandwidth and directivity. All developed antennas are simulated using the commercial Electromagnetic CST Microwave Studio software. Achieved results demonstrate a good performance with low cost and compact size
The Microstrip antenna has been commercially used in many applications, such as direct broadcast
satellite service, mobile satellite communications, global positioning system, medical hyperthermia usage,
etc. The patch antenna of the size reduction at a given operating frequency is obtained. Mobile personal
communication systems and wireless computer networks are most commonly used nowadays and they are
in need of antennas in different frequency bands. In regulate to without difficulty incorporate these

A low-cost fiber based displacement sensor for industrial applicationsTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
In this paper, a low-cost fiber optic displacement sensor (FODS) using a bundle of plastic optical fiber (POF) as a probe is developed and presented. The sensor consists of a high power light emitting diode (LED) as light source, a probe with multiple receiving plastic optical fiber and a photodiode detector. The sensor is characterized at millimeter distance and the sensor output is analyzed from 0 mm to 13 mm displacement. The sensitivity of the sensor is found to be 5.38 mV/mm over 2.6 mm sensing range. The sensor is very useful for close distance target since it is highly sensitive at the front slope. The low development cost, high degree of sensitivity and simplicity of the design make it suitable for wide range of industrial applications.
Bending losses of power in a single mode step index optical fiber due to macro bending has been
investigated for a wavelength of 1550nm. The effects of bending radius (4-15mm, with steps of 1mm), and
wrapping turn (up to 40 turns) on loss have been studied. Twisting the optical fiber and its influence on power
loss also has been investigated. Variations of macro bending loss with these two parameters have been
measured, loss with number of turns and radius of curvature have been measured.
This work founds that the Macro bending and wrapping turn loss increases as the bending radius and wrapping
turn increases.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Abstract: A fiber optic security sensor based on the monitoring of "speckle pattern" modal distribution in a
multimode optical fiber was studied. Detection of vibrations of perimeters or fences is possible through
observation of the output speckle pattern from the multimode optical fiber. An experimental working model has
been built in which all used components are widely available and cheap: a CCD camera, a multimode red laser
(650 nm) as a light source, a length of multimode optical fiber, and a computer to employ MATLAB platform for
implementing the algorithm used in this sensor. Some vibration measurements were measured using readymade
device as it has high sampling rate CCD camera to obtain more accurate results. Proposed sensor is cheap and
lightweight and therefore presents an interesting alternative for monitoring large smart structure.
Keywords: fiber optic sensor, speckle pattern, spectral analysis
I. Introduction
With the invention of the laser in 1960’s, a great interest in optical systems for data communications
began. The invention of laser, motivated researchers to study the potential of fiber optics for data
communications, sensing, and other applications. Recent advances in fiber optic technology have significantly
changed the telecommunications industry. The ability to carry gigabits of information at the speed of light
increased the research potential in optical fibers. Simultaneous improvements and cost reductions in
optoelectronic components led to similar emergence of new product areas. Last revolution emerged as designers
to combine the product outgrowths of fiber optic telecommunications with optoelectronic devices to create fiber
optic sensors. Soon it was discovered that, with material loss almost disappearing, and the sensitivity for
detection of the losses increasing, one could sense changes in phase, intensity, and wavelength from outside
perturbations on the fiber itself. Hence fiber optic sensing was born. In parallel with these developments, fiber
optic sensor technology has been a significant user of technology related with the optoelectronic and fiber optic
communication industry. Many of the components associated with these industries were often developed for
fiber optic sensor applications. Fiber optic sensor technology in turn has often been driven by the development
and subsequent mass production of components to support these industries. As component prices have decreased
and quality improvements have been made, the ability of fiber optic sensors to replace traditional sensors have
also increased [1]. Optical fiber sensor development has matured to the point where the impact of this new
technology is now evident. Fiber sensors offer a number of advantages: 1
increased sensitivity over existing
techniques, 2
geometric versatility in that fiber sensors can be configured in arbitrary shapes, 3
a common
technology base from which devices to sense various physical perturbations (acoustic, magnetic, temperature,
rotation, etc.) can be constructed, 4
dielectric construction so that it can be used in high voltage, electrically
noisy, high temperature, corrosive, or other stressing environments, and 5
inherent compatibility with optical
fiber telemetry technology [2]. Intrusion monitoring systems are designed to detect unauthorized intrusions into
buildings, protected territories, perimeters, etc. Fiber optic sensor technology offers the most powerful tool for
intrusion monitoring. In recent years, fiber optic sensor technology has been growing in both interior and
exterior security applications with possibility for both detection and location of the intrusion. A fiber optic
intrusion monitoring systems can detect an attempt to cut, lift, crawl under, and climb over a fence or protected
area. Various operation techniques are being used in the development of fiber optic intrusion monitoring
systems. The systems based on the principle of speckle effect in a multimode fiber are simple, reliable, and cost-
effective. This system employs an optical fiber that can be fence-mounted or deployed along the protected
perimeter, buried under ground. [3]
II. Fiber Optic Sensor Principle And Classification
Various ideas have been proposed and various techniques have been developed for various measurands
and applications [4]. The general structure of an optical fiber sensor system is (shown in Figure 1). It consists of
an optical source (Laser, LED, Laser diode etc), optical fiber, sensing or modulator element (which transducers
the measurand to an optical signal), an optical detector and processing electronics (oscilloscope, optical
spectrum analyzer etc)[1].

The market for fiber optic sensor technology may be divided into two broad categories of sensors:
intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic sensors are used in medicine, defense, and aerospace applications, and they can
be used to measure temperature, pressure, humidity, acceleration, and strain. Extrinsic sensors are used in
telecommunications to monitor the status and performance of the optical fibers within a network [5].
There are five types of intrinsic sensors. The first uses phase modulation. Using a special optical fiber,
the phase angle of the light is changed when pressure is applied to the fiber. The second is polarimetric, which is
similar and measures a change in polarization. A third type of sensor, which can be either intrinsic or extrinsic,
uses color modulation. In essence, this uses two detectors to measure the change in the color of light. For
example, temperature can be measured with the changing color of a ruby. A fourth type of intrinsic type of
sensor uses distributed micro bending of the fiber to achieve attenuation of the light.
The last type measures the change in the speckle pattern. Light projected from the end of a multimode
fiber has a rather attractive pattern. This pattern is the result of the many modes or ways in which the light
passes along the multimode fiber. Pressure applied to the outside of the fiber will change this speckle pattern [6]
, this type is the one we interested in this paper ,and an experimental work was built to show the ability of this
intrinsic fiber sensor to be employed as security sensor.
III. Theoretical Concept Of Speckle Pattern
The speckle pattern is often used in optical sensors and metrology where the granular structure of light
is obtained through an optical roughened surface. In these cases, the speckle pattern depends on the properties of
coherence of the incident field and surface characteristics Speckle patterns can also be obtained using
multimode optical fibers. Early works on the speckle pattern in multimode fibers were made by Takahara and
Crosignani, in which the effect of visibility, the spectral width of the employed source and the fiber length have
been studied. As the speckle pattern in the output fiber is sensitive to any disturbances along the fiber, such as
temperature, pressure or vibration, sensing of these measurands is potentially suitable with a proper processing
stage of the speckle pattern [7]. Propagation of light in optical fibers is governed by the propagating modes
traveling within the core of the fiber. The single mode fibers, with core diameter between 5 to 9 microns, carry
only a single signal pertaining to the first mode of propagation. Multimode fibers, on the other hand, carry
several modes due to the larger diameter cores ranging from 50 to 62.5 microns [8]. Multimode fiber, as a result
of its large core diameter, has a relatively large number of modes that travel simultaneously through the fiber.
Each mode travels with its own group velocity and propagation constant, but interferes with other modes as they
share the same medium. There are around 500 modes in a typical multimode fiber. Speckle pattern consists of a
large number of points with different intensities of light (Figure 2) [9].

Figure (2): Speckle Pattern emerged from the end of Multimode fiber [11]
Speckle pattern changes slowly in time, but its total summed intensity remains the same. That can be expressed
by equation (1),
𝐼 𝑇 = 𝐼𝑖
𝑁
𝑖=1
… … (1)
Where 𝐼 𝑇 is the total intensity and 𝐼𝑖 is the intensity of each point (small area) in the speckle pattern and N is the
number of points. If the fiber is exposed to some force 𝐹(𝑡), the propagation constant of each mode changes in
correlation with that force (vibration or Strain …), and the difference 𝛥𝛽 𝑚𝑙 is proportional to the applied force
𝜎 𝛥𝛽 𝑚𝑙 𝑧 𝛼 𝐹 𝑡 … … (2)
In [9] it is demonstrated that the intensity of a single speckle can be found in proportion to the force (𝐹(𝑡))
perturbing the fiber by following expression
𝐼𝑖 = 𝐴𝑖 1 + 𝐵𝑖 𝑐𝑜𝑠 𝛿 𝑖 − 𝐹 𝑡 𝜑𝑖 𝑠𝑖𝑛 𝛿 𝑖 … … (3)
Where 𝐴𝑖 is the result of mode self-interaction, and the next two terms represent the mode-mode interaction, the
first one (𝐵𝑖) accounting for the steady state and the second one 𝜑𝑖signify the modification of the mode-mode
interaction if the system is perturbed. Signal output, in which the absolute value of changes in the intensity
pattern is summed, is given by
∆𝐼 𝑇 = ∁𝑖 sin 𝛿 𝑖
𝑁
𝑖=1
𝑑𝐹 𝑡
𝑑𝑡
… … (4)
By applying various forces upon the fiber we change the way modes propagate and therefore their interference
conditions, which results in different field distribution at the fiber end [9].
IV. Experimental Design Of The Sensor
Figure (3) shows the structure of the system used to record and analyze the change in the distribution of speckle
patterns caused by the vibration at the fiber.

Figure (3): system used to record and analyze speckle patterns
The signal coming from the light source (in our case a laser operating in Red wavelength) travels
through multimode fiber. Output signal from the fibers end is projected on screen, and is recorded by a simple
CCD camera (30 frame per second) used only for demonstration of principle [9].
V. Analysis And Process Of The Output Signal
Since the data is recorded in video signal mode, it is first broken down to frames 30 per second (but in
our work a 60 fps CCD camera was used) and then analyzed as a set of consecutive frames that each represent a
matrix of speckle pattern point intensities in time. After data preparation, analysis takes place in Matlab where
necessary functions are implemented .If the fiber is perturbed, the induced perturbation alters the optical path
lengths of each propagating mode differently and the intensity pattern changes. This change can be detected by
analyzing the resulting patterns using statistical features for image analysis. For speckle image analysis, two
methods are image differencing and image correlation features are widely used [10], the former method (image
differencing or subtraction) is the method of interest in this paper. If the reference output pattern is𝐼0(𝑥, 𝑦), and
the output pattern when there is a perturbation, is𝐼(𝑥, 𝑦), then the intensity variation can be determined by
defining the difference image as
∆𝐼 𝑥, 𝑦 = 𝐼0 𝑥, 𝑦 − 𝐼 𝑥, 𝑦 … … (5)
The speckle intensity variation can be determined by using the feature
𝐼𝐷 = 𝐼0 𝑥, 𝑦 − 𝐼 𝑥, 𝑦
𝑁
𝑥,𝑦
… … (6)
Where ID is the image difference feature [10].The image subtraction between the consecutive frames of CCD
camera is performed in Matlab, and (figure 4) shows the cases when the vibration is present and when it is not
present respectively.
Figure 4: Image difference when the vibration is present (left) and when it is not present (right)
After the steps that included loading images in memory, calculating total intensities, differences
between images, functions for extracting the frequency response of vibrations is performed. The data analysis
was performed using the Fourier transformation on the matrix of intensity difference between elements on same

location in consecutive pictures and then the calculation of spectral components was performed to determine the
frequency response of different vibrations (see figure 5). Maximum detectable frequency is tied by sample
frequency of detector in our case web camera. As it's sample frequency was around 60 frames per second, we
could measure vibrations with frequencies up to approximately 30 Hz. By constructing custom CCD sensor
greater frequencies can be detected. Higher sampling rate increases memory footprint requirements and
complexity of calculations so some tradeoffs between processing requirements and maximum detectable
frequency are present. An experimental measurements were achieved to determine the frequency response of
different vibration sources these measurements were obtained using Matlab platform, and other measurements
were measured using readymade device, this device has the ability to measure high vibration frequencies (up to
600 Hz) as it has high sampling CCD sensor as we will see next.

VI. Measurements
When fiber sensor based on speckle pattern is used in outdoor field, some measurements are needed to
recognize the intruder event from the non-threatening event (like wind), in below some experimental
measurements were made by simulating several different vibration sources. These measurements were obtained
by applying the above algorithm using matlab and then it was compared to those obtained using readymade
device. Figure (6) shows the frequency response of applying low vibration on the multimode fiber attached to
perimeter, the upper part represents the frequency response using the experimental model while the lower part
represents the corresponding measurement using readymade device. And it is clear that the two measurements
are comparable.
