Perovskite solar cells (PSC) have become a growing research interest due to their flexibility, attractive properties, and low production cost. However, the thin-film structure of PSC often results in a not fully absorbed incident light by the active layer, which is crucial to determine PSC efficiency. Thus, the fabrication of an active layer with unique nanostructures is often used to enhance light absorption and general PSC efficiency. Using the theoretical simulation based-on Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) technique, this work demonstrates the successful improvement of light absorption by embedding corrugated void-like structure and perovskite thickness modification. The investigation of a corrugated void-type anti-reflection layer effect on light absorption is done by modifying the radius (r) and lattice constant (a) to obtain the optimum geometry. In addition, the MAPbI3 perovskite layer thickness is also adjusted to examine the optimum light absorption within the visible length to near-infrared. The theoretical calculations show that the optimum r = 692 nm and a = 776 nm. Meanwhile, the optimum absorber layer thickness is 750 nm. Compared to flat PSC, our proposed PSC absorbed more light, especially in the near-infrared region. Our result shows demonstrates the successful enhancement of light absorption by embedding corrugated void-like structure and modifying the perovskite thickness using a theoretical simulation based on the FDTD technique.

SPR-based technology has emerged as one of the most versatile optical tools for analyzing the binding mechanism of molecular interaction due to its inherent advantages in sensing applications, such as real-time, label-free, and high sensitivity characteristics. SPR is widely used in various fields, including healthcare, environmental management, and food-borne illness analysis. Meanwhile, kidney disease has grown to be one of the world’s most serious public health problems in recent decades, resulting in physical degeneration and even death. As a result, several studies have published their findings regarding developing of reliable sensor technology based on the SPR phenomenon. However, an integrated and comprehensive discussion regarding the application of SPR-based sensors for detecting of kidney disease has not yet been found. Therefore, this review will discuss the recent advancements in the development of SPR-based sensors for monitoring kidney-related diseases. Numerous SPR configurations will be discussed, including Kretschmann, Otto, optical fiber-based SPR, and LSPR, which are all used to detect analytes associated with kidney disease, including urea, creatinine, glucose, uric acid, and dopamine. This review aims to show the broad application of SPR sensors which encouraged the development of SPR sensors for kidney problems monitoring.

In this paper, we determine the optical refractive indices of different molarities of glucose using nano-laminated gold/chromium (Au-Cr) thin film via Kretschmann-based Surface Plasmon Resonance (K-SPR) sensing with angular interrogation. The nano-laminated Au-Cr K-SPR sensor detects the glucose presence in low- and high-concentration of 4-12 mmol/L and 55-277 mmol/L, respectively, under the exposure of 670 nm and 785 nm optical wavelengths. The experimental results showed that the minimum limit of detection (LOD) of Au-Cr K-SPR is 4 mmol/L and the glucose sensor sensitivities are in average of 3.41 o/M and 2.73o/M at 670 nm and 785 nm optical wavelength, respectively. Stable sensitivity for each concentration also shown from the sensorgram results, indicates the stable performance of nano-laminated Au-Cr SPR sensor to detect glucose in the range from mmol/L up to dmol/L. Values of refractive indices for glucose molarities obtained are 1.33187 (4 mmol/L) and 1.3191 (4 mmol/L) at 670 and 785 nm wavelength, respectively. These RI values are beneficial for numerical simulation of glucose sensors using nano-laminated Au-Cr thin films which have been reported for the first time. The sensor can be eventually deployed in integrated photonic sensing devices comprising of multiple analyte detection for lab-on-chip (LoC) and point-of care (PoC) applications.

Water is a natural resource which is very beneficial for aquatic life in the fishpond. One of the considering factors for fishpond water is the pH level which greatly affects fish life sustainability. The study aims to design fiber optic-based sensors (FOS’s) that can monitor pH levels in the fishpond water. The wavelength values of potential light sources for the sensor, the refractive index value of cladding for FOS’s and the effect of changing pH levels on the sensitivity of FOS’s are also studied. The method we used is simulation method using the Lumerical MODE Solutions software. The parameters used in the study is the value of the light source wavelength, diameter, and length of the cladding, and the pH level values in the range of 6. 5-8.5. The results show that the light sources with 1550 nm and 1310 nm of wavelength are potential to be used as an ideal indicator of FOS’s. The optimum cladding’s refractive index for FOS’s is when the value is close to the core’s refractive index. The electric field also increases when the pH value increases. Furthermore, FOS’s resulted has a sensitivity value of 7. $18638\times 10^{-3}Vm^{-1}/au$ at a pH level of 7.5

The captivity and aquaculture in Indonesia are very potential to be developed due to a lot of resources including marine and freshwater. The suitable water condition for the pond requires lower salt content than seawater around to 0.5 to 30 gram/liter. This study aims to determine the value of the wavelength of the light source that produces significant power losses so that the optical fiber can be used as a sensor to detect the salinity in the water. The method used in this study is a simulation method using the Lumerical MODE Solutions software. The parameters used in the simulation include the value of light source wavelength, length, and diameter of cladding and concentration value of pond water solution from 0.5% to 3% (5000 ppm to 30000 ppm). The results show that the light wavelength of 1550 nm can generate significant power losses than 1310 nm so that it is more suitable for optical fiber sensors. Also, the higher value of the concentration of the salt solution the greater the power losses, because the value of electricity in the core-cladding limit is large. The sensor sensitivity value at a wavelength of 1550 nm is $2.26 \times 10^{-6} Vm^{1}$/ppm was obtained.

The mixing process in the medical laboratory examination with a blood check is important to determine the overall health condition and provide information on the disease suffered and also determine the treatment carried out or the next stage. This paper aims to study the simulation of microfluidic mixer devices based on flattening channels for blood mixing applications. The finite element analysis is used to study the effect of flattening channel geometry related to the microfluidic mixer performance. The results show that the mixing index above 0.98 is obtained which means the fluid was mixed homogenously. As a consequence, rapid and efficient mixing remains a challenging task within the design and development of micromixers. Furthermore, from the Reynolds number variations, it revealed that the mixing index increase when the Reynolds number increase.

In this paper, the optimization of microfluidic mixers based on meander was performed.

In addition, the increase in Reynolds number causes the mixing index improvement. The results from this study will benefit the future development of Lab on Chip applications.

A turbidity telemetry system for COVID-19 pandemic situations using nRF24L01+transceiver and SEN0189 water turbidity sensor-based microcontroller has been successfuly developed.. The method used to characterize the sensor is by comparing sensor output voltages with the value of water turbidity. Turbid water used was created by adding distilled water with a concentration of sediment obtained from the filtered sediment with less than 60 μm in diameter. Data transmission performance for various transmit power was done by calculating the error percentages by comparing the number of messages sent by transmitter and received by receiver. The transmit power settings were 0, -6, -12, and 18 dBm and variations in the distance of data transmission from 10 to 80 m. The test results show that the water turbidity sensor has a good measurement range in measuring turbidity of water from 1.873 to 3500 NTU. Higher concentrations of sediment and turbidity of the water made the sensor output voltage decrease. There was a decrease in output voltage in the value, namely -0.0006 in turbidity sensor sensitivity. The results also show an increase in error percentages as the distance of data transmission increases, while the bigger the transmit power is used for data transmission, the smaller the percentage of errors occurs.
