We propose and theoretically analyze a plasmonic corrugated horn structure for enhanced optical transmission. It makes use of the enhancement of unidirectional propagating surface plasmon polaritons at oblique incidence. Geometric parameters such as the groove depth and width are optimized. Analysis shows that it presents a better performance than the bull's eye structure for a small number of grooves.

A novel microring resonator accelerometer is proposed. It is realized by a suspended straight waveguide coupled with a microring resonator. Under the external acceleration, the coupling coefficient is a function of gap spacing between the two waveguides. The mathematical model of the sensing element is established. Both the finite element method and coupled mode theory are adopted to analyze and optimize the proposed structure. Simulation results show that the mechanical sensitivity is 0.015 μm/g with the working frequency below 500 Hz and cross-axis sensitivity less than 0.001%, which is promising in seismic related applications.

Position sensing systems for indoor environments have one common problem: The setup effort of the whole system. GPS-supported localization is simple and fast to implement and the reference grid is ubiquitous. However, in locations where the signals of GPS are not available, e.g. indoor, or where the technique is not accurate enough, other position sensing systems have to be used. Usually, a reference grid will be provided by an administrator: Reference points must be deployed and programmed with the correct location information. Especially for temporary installations and dynamic surroundings the setup costs are very high. In our work, we developed a robotic platform, which is capable of deploying itself autonomously and which can operate as a mobile reference point equipped with ultra sound transmitters. Relying on a combination of two controllers and an odometry system, the platform is able to drive on a complex spline-like trace using only a few supporting points. We also investigated the problem for the localization system itself. The detection field of our ultra sound based system is a full hemisphere. Within this domain, we can measure the distances between nodes exploiting the time of flight technique as well as the angle of arrival. Finally, the system can also be used as a sonar system for passive obstacles detection.

We discuss the need for adaptive load control in network security environments in order to cope with the increasing bandwidth requirements. In earlier work, we developed a simple model to study the behavior of feedback loops for self-configuring security environments. We primarily considered the traffic between the monitoring probes, the IDS systems, and associated firewalls. We now enhanced the model to study fully self-organized network security environments in a simulation model. First simulation results outline both the feasibility of the general approach and the possibilities of the simulation model.
Optical burst switching (OBS) is thought to be the best way to adapt the bursty IP traffic over optical WDM networks. It provides statistical multiplexing gains and avoids long end to end setup time of traditional vir...

We study the capabilities of virtual addressing schemes for efficient and failure tolerant routing in sensor networks. In particular, we present the virtual cord protocol (VCP) that uses techniques known from peer-to-peer networks, i.e. distributed hash tables (DHTs) are used to associate data items in sensor networks with particular node addresses. The addresses of nodes are dynamically maintained by the protocol to form a virtual cord. VCP uses two mechanisms for finding paths to nodes and associated data items: First, it relies on the virtual cord that always points towards the destination. Furthermore, locally available neighborhood information is exploited for greedy routing. Our simulation results show that VCP is able to find paths close to the possible shortest path with very low overhead. The routing performance of VCP, which clearly outperforms other ad hoc routing protocols such as Dynamic MANET On Demand (DYMO), is similar to other virtual addressing schemes, e.g. Virtual Ring Routing (VRR). However, we improved VCP to handle frequent node failures in an optimized way. The results presented in this paper outline the capabilities of VCP to handle such cases.

Flying four-rotor robots (quadrocopters) are on-board sensor controlled systems. In comparison to classical monorotor objects (helicopters), quadrocopters can be piloted with a much lower effort. However, lateral drifts can not be compensated only referring to the built-in sensors. The detection of such drifts is strongly necessary for indoor operation - without corrections a quadrocopter would quickly cause a collision. In order to compensate the dislocation, an additional indoor positioning system is needed. In our work, we provide a framework for time-of-flight based localization systems relying on ultrasonic sensors. It is optimized for use in sensor nodes with low computational power and limited memory. Nevertheless, it offers scalability and high accuracy even in case of single erroneous measurements. We implemented the system in our lab using ultrasound sensors that are light enough to be carried around by the flying object. Using this real-time localization system, a position controller can be implemented to maintain a given position or course.
