Optical fiber tapers are used to collect photoluminescence emission at similar to 1.5 mu m from photonic crystal cavities fabricated in erbium doped silicon nitride on silicon. In the experiment, photoluminescence collection via one arm of the fiber taper is enhanced 2.5 times relative to free space collection, corresponding to a net collection efficiency of 4%. Theoretically, the collection efficiency into one arm of the fiber-taper with this material system and cavity design can be as high as 12.5%, but the degradation of the experimental coupling efficiency relative to this value mainly comes from scattering loss within the short taper transition regions. By varying the fiber taper offset from the cavity, a broad tuning range of coupling strength and collection efficiency is obtained. This material system combined with fiber taper collection is promising for building on-chip optical amplifiers. (C) 2010 Optical Society of America

In this study we present the direct terahertz timedomain spectroscopic measurement of CVD-grown multilayer graphene (MLG) on PVC substrate with an electrically tunable Fermi level. In a configuration consisting MLG and injected organic dopant, the transmitted intensity loss of terahertz radiation was observed with an applied voltage between 0 and 3.5 V.We showed that MLG on PVC devices provided approximately 100 % modulation between 0.2 and 1.5 THz at preferentially low operation voltage of ca. 3V. The obse...

Gate-tunable high-mobility electrons on atomically thin graphene layers provide a unique opportunity to control electromagnetic waves in a very broad spectrum. In this paper, we describe an electrically-controlled multipixel terahertz light modulators. The spatial light modulator is fabricated using two large-area graphene layers grown by chemical vapor deposition and transferred on THz transparent and flexible substrates. Room temperature ionic liquid, inserted between the graphene, provides mutual gating ...
Crystallization and phase separation mechanism of silicon oxide thin films fabricated via electron beam evaporation of silicon monoxide
Gündüz, Deniz Cihan; Turan, Raşit; Yerci, Selçuk; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2015)
Silicon nanocrystals (NCs) imbedded in a matrix of silicon oxide have drawn much attention due to their applications in optoelectronic devices and third-generation solar cells. Several methods were reported for the fabrication of Si NCs. Among these techniques, there are aerosol synthesis, chemical vapor deposition, ion implantation, magnetron sputtering and thermal evaporation. However, electron beam evaporation is a straightforward and effective technique for the fabrication of silicon oxide thin films si...

Two types of bacterial biosensor were constructed by immobilization of Gluconobacter oxydans and Pseudomonas fluorescens cells on graphite electrodes modified with the conducting polymer; poly(1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2,5-di(2-thienyl)-1 H-pyrrole) [SNS(NO2)]. The measurement was based on the respiratory activity of cells estimated by the oxygen consumption at -0.7 V due to the metabolic activity in the presence of substrate. As well as analytical characterization, the linear detection ranges, effects of electropo...
Highly Sensitive and Tunable Fano-like Rod-Type Silicon Photonic Crystal Refractive Index Sensor
Kılıç, Selahattin Cem; Kocaman, Serdar (2021-01-01)
IEEEA highly sensitive and tunable 2D rod-type silicon photonic crystal cavity based biosensor configuration has been designed and numerically analyzed. The structure is optimized so that the light-matter interaction is maximized in the cavity region. Out-of-plane light confinement is achieved by sandwiching the rods between metal plates, and tuning is achieved by introducing an air-gap between on top of the rods and the metal plate. A single rod is positioned in the middle of the waveguide so that the cavi...
