We study the effect of disorder in the lattice on a photonic band diagram and apply it to form a superlattice in order to examine negative refractive index and finally obtain zero-ñ gap. In addition, the novelty of suggested modulated PhC introduces new ways of controlling light through the complicated lattices. The aim of this approach is to have a deep understanding of dispersion characteristics dependence on the lattice structure by comparing modified structures with conventional lattice types. We design a disordered modulated hexagonal lattice in which the positions of holes vary in the orthogonal direction of applied light direction and study its influence on both effective refractive index and photonic band structure through numerical simulations. The results of this approach are promising enough to utilize them in various applications of on-chip integrated circuits. We applied this class of suggested structure in one particular superlattice to gain zero-ñ gap for the sake of comparison with the reported structures recently.

Zero average index design via perturbation of hexagonal photonic crystal lattice Moradi, Shahram; GÖVDELİ, ALPEREN; Kocaman, Serdar (2017-11-01) We study the effect of one-dimensional lattice compression on photoriic band diagram and apply it to form a superlattice in order to obtain zero-Ti gap. Modulated hexagonal lattice has the ability to provide both positive and negative effective refractive indices. We analyze the dispersion characteristics in case the positions of holes in the lattice are varied in the orthogonal direction of applied light direction. We then compare modified structures with the conventional lattice and study the influence of...
A one dimensional slot mode photonic crystal nanobeam cavity design for optical bio-sensing applications Erdil, Mertcan; Kocaman, Serdar; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2020) In this thesis, we presented a refractive index based optical bio-sensor, utilizing a slot mode one dimensional photonic crystal cavity as a transducing element. We benefited from the suitability of slotted one dimensional photonic crystal cavities for optical bio-sensing applications, owing to their capability of confining the light strongly in the low dielectric media. We described the theory behind the design, and also provided numerical analyses, characterizing the device performance. We also demonstrat...
Tunable integrated optical modulator with dynamical photonic band transition of photonic crystals GÖVDELİ, ALPEREN; Kocaman, Serdar (2019-01-01) A Mach-Zehnder Interferometer based optical modulator composed of photonic crystals as phase shifters is presented. The switching process relies on the phase modulation along the arms of interferometer resulted from the photonic band shift of the photonic crystal regions. A small bulk index change leads to a large effective index difference between two arms of the interferometer and a small foot-print device can operate as a modulator. Presented MZI-based optical modulator is shown to have tunable bandwidth...
DFT-based ab-initio study of half-Heusler KCaP compound MOĞULKOÇ, YEŞİM; ÇİFTCİ, YASEMİN; SÜRÜCÜ, GÖKHAN (2018-01-01) An ab-initio study of structural, elastic, electronic and optical properties of KCaP compound with space group F (4) over bar 3m have been reported using the plane-wave pseudo-potential technique based on density functional theory under pressure effect. The elastic anisotropy of compound is investigated in terms of Poisson's ratio, shear modulus and Young's modulus with pressure effect. The electronic band structure calculations and charge densities are obtained. Optical properties are also investigated and...
MHD Stokes flow and heat transfer in a lid-driven square cavity under horizontal magnetic field Gurbuz, Merve; Tezer, Münevver (2018-04-01) This study considers the steady flow of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid in a lid-driven square cavity under the effect of a uniform horizontally applied magnetic field. The governing equations are obtained from the Navier-Stokes equations including buoyancy and Lorentz force terms and the energy equation including Joule heating and viscous dissipation terms. These equations are solved iteratively in terms of velocity components, stream function, vorticity, temperature, and pressu...
