Investigation of Nanostructured Surfaces for Thermophotovoltaic Applications
Atak, Eslem Enis; Baker, Derek Keith; Okutucu Özyurt, Tuba; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2021-9)
Thermophotovoltaic (TPV) devices convert thermal radiation into electricity by using a thermal emitter and a photovoltaic (PV) cell. TPV systems can utilize variety of heat sources, which makes them suitable for harvesting waste heat. The downside of current TPV technology is its low efficiency due to the spectral mismatch between thermal emission of the emitter and the bandgap of the cell. In this thesis, the effect of nanostructures on radiative properties is studied in order to develop efficient TPV emit...
Investigation of gmpls applications in optical systems
Göken, Burcu; Ergül, Rüyal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005)
In this study, possible applications of label switching in large area, fully optical networks are investigated. The objective was to design a label assignment method by using Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) concept to get an efficient optical network operation. In order to fulfill this objective, two new approaches were proposed: a label assignment method and a concatenated label structure. Label assignment method was designed to provide an efficient utilization of resources. Concatenated...
Investigation of tightly coupled arrays for wideband applications
Arda, Kaan; Dural Ünver, Mevlüde Gülbin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2020-10)
This thesis aims to provide in depth research on tightly coupled dipole arrays to be used in ultrawideband apertures applications. First, operation principles of tightly coupled dipole arrays are investigated. Starting from the Wheeler’s current sheet aperture concept, some calculations on bandwidth and impedance concepts are conducted. B.A. Munk’s addition to the concept, use of capacitive elements between adjacent dipoles, are introduced. Array unit cell is modeled using equivalent circuit approach,...
Investigation of decoupling techniques for linear and nonlinear systems
Kalaycıoğlu, Taner; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2018)
Structural coupling methods are widely used in predicting dynamics of coupled systems. In this study, the reverse problem, i.e. predicting the dynamic behavior of a particular subsystem from the knowledge of the dynamics of the overall system and of all the other subsystems, is studied. This problem arises when a substructure cannot be measured separately, but only when coupled to neighboring substructures. The dynamic decoupling problem of coupled linear structures is well investigated in literature. Howev...
Investigation of doped and undoped VOxfilms for terahertz microbolometer applications
Atik, Bahar; Dirican, Emrah; Demirörs, Oytun; Altan, Hakan; Esentürk, Okan; Ylldlrlm, Mustafa; Akın, Tayfun (2021-01-01)
The microbolometer technology has proved its potential in the Infrared (IR) region due to its low fabrication costs, and room temperature operation, making this technology desirable to be used in various applications, and this interest has recently expanded into the Terahertz (THz) region as well. The detection in microbolometers is achieved through the absorption of THz radiation which subsequently heats up and is sensed by the temperature sensitive material at the core of the device. This temperature sens...
