One dimensional nanobeam photonic crystal cavities are fabricated in an Er-doped amorphous silicon nitride layer. Photoluminescence from the cavities around 1.54 mu m is studied at cryogenic and room temperatures at different optical pump powers. The resonators demonstrate Purcell enhanced absorption and emission rates, also confirmed by time resolved measurements. Resonances exhibit linewidth narrowing with pump power, signifying absorption bleaching and the onset of stimulated emission in the material at both 5.5 K and room temperature. We estimate from the cavity linewidths that Er has been pumped to transparency at the cavity resonance wavelength. (C) 2010 Optical Society of America

Observation of linewidth narrowing in erbium-doped silicon nitride coupled to photonic crystal nanobeam cavities Gong, Yiyang; Makarova, Maria; Yerci, Selçuk; Li, Rui; Negro, Luca Dal; Vuckovíc, Jelena (null; 2010-12-01) One-dimensional nanobeam photonic crystal cavities are fabricated in an Er-doped amorphous silicon nitride layer. Photoluminescence from the cavities is studied at cryogenic and room temperatures at different optical pump powers.
Development of helical tubular reactor for hydrogen producing photosynthetic bacteria Sarı, Süleyman; Eroğlu, İnci; Department of Biotechnology (2007) Photobiological hydrogen production from organic materials occurs with the help of illumination and under aerobic conditions within photobioreactors. Novel designs are needed in order to increase the light conversion efficiency and to improve the biological hydrogen production. In this thesis, purple non sulfur bacteria Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U. 001 was employed as the hydrogen producing microorganism. Two different types of photobioreactors, namely oscillatory helical photobioreactor and recycling helic...
Development of Nanostructured Metallic Glasses with High Toughness Bagheri Behboud, Ali; Özerinç, Sezer; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2021-8) Metallic glasses are metallic alloys with disordered atomic structures and desirable mechanical properties such as high hardness, high elastic limits, and wear resistance. These properties make metallic glasses promising materials for wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and biocompatible coating applications. On the other hand, metallic glasses are brittle, which is a major disadvantage for their use in practice. This thesis study aimed to tackle this problem through the development of nanostructured metal...
Investigation of silver-induced crystallization of germanium thin films fabricated on different substrates Kabacelik, Ismail; KULAKCI, MUSTAFA; Turan, Raşit (2015-06-01) Silver-induced crystallizations of amorphous germanium (alpha-Ge) thin films were fabricated through electron beam evaporation on crystalline silicon (c-Si) (100), aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO), and glass substrates at room temperature. The solid-phase crystallization (SPC) of alpha-Ge films was investigated for various post-annealing temperatures between 300 and 500 degrees C for 60 min. Two crystallization approaches were compared: SPC and metal-induced crystallization (MIC). The structural properties o...
Modeling of spherulite microstructures in semicrystalline polymers Oktay, H. Emre; Gürses, Ercan (2015-11-01) Semicrystalline polymers are composed of crystalline structures together with amorphous polymer chain networks and therefore they exhibit deformation mechanisms of both crystalline materials and amorphous polymers. One of the most common microstructures observed in semicrystalline polymers is the spherulite microstructure in which crystalline lamellae are embedded in a matrix of amorphous material and grow out from a common central nucleus in radial directions. The mechanical behavior of semicrystalline pol...
