Mid-Infrared High-Power InGaAsSb/AlGaInAsSb Multiple-Quantum-Well Laser Diodes Around 2.9 μm by Hongguang Yu, Chengao Yang, Yihang Chen, Jianmei Shi, Juntian Cao, Zhengqi Geng, Zhiyuan Wang, Haoran Wen, Enquan Zhang, Yu Zhang, Hao Tan, Donghai Wu, Yingqiang Xu, Haiqiao Ni, Zhichuan Niu

“…The quantum wells exhibit high crystalline quality, as evidenced by distinct satellite peaks in XRD curves with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 56 arcseconds for the zeroth-order peak, a smooth surface with a root mean square (RMS) roughness of 0.19 nm, room-temperature photoluminescence with high luminous efficiency and narrow FHWM of 35 meV, and well-defined interfaces. These attributes effectively suppress non-radiative recombination, thereby enhancing internal quantum efficiency in the antimonide laser. …”

Performance Investigation of Air Velocity Effects on PV Modules under Controlled Conditions by Muzaffar Ali, Muhammad Hasan Iqbal, Nadeem Ahmed Sheikh, Hafiz M. Ali, M. Shehryar Manzoor, Muhammad Mahabat Khan, Khairul Fikri Tamrin

“…Additionally, the results were also determined at two different module angular positions: at 0° angle, that is, parallel to air direction and at 10° angle with the direction of coming air to consider the effects of tilt angles. Afterwards, the thermal analysis of the modules was performed using Ansys-Fluent in which junction temperature and heat flux of modules were determined by applying appropriate boundary conditions, such as air velocity, heat flux, and solar radiation. …”

Metrics and Methods for Evaluation of Over-The-Air Performance of MIMO User Equipment by Yifei Feng, Werner L. Schroeder, Christoph von Gagern, Adam Tankielun, Thomas Kaiser

“…The variety of different MIMO operating modes and the almost unlimited choice of possible multipath channel conditions under which UE performance may be evaluated are not accounted for by established Single Input-Single Output (SISO) Over-The-Air (OTA) performance metrics like Total Isotropic Sensitivity (TIS) and Total Radiated Power (TRP). As pointed out in this contribution, meaningful metrics and cost-effective, low-complexity measurement methods can, nevertheless, be derived by focusing on characterization of the physical attributes of UE and by adopting statistical metrics. …”
