A sensitive fiber loop ringdown (FLRD) spectrometer without any additional optical component was utilized to obtain strain measurement on a single mode fiber optic sensor. The strain data were obtained by employing the theory of bending loss in single mode fibers. The best sensitivity of the sensors was obtained as 5.99 με with an 80.0 cm long sensor head when the sensor heads were stretched at the midpoint. The spectrometer system had a baseline-stability of 0.22%. Stretching the sensor head from off-midpoint positions resulted faster decays with higher optical losses. Comparison of the slopes relative to the stress positions showed that it may be utilized to obtain strain location without using any high-cost equipment. This portable, basic, and simpler FLRD spectrometer system offers high sensitivity with great baseline stability without utilization of any additional optical components and/or creating air-gap/air-cavity and encapsulation on the sensor head region. With its very attractive features of such as easy setup, low cost, and simple design, sensitive FLRD sensors may have a high potential for early detection in several applications such as structural health monitoring, biomedical sensing, mining, transportation and rail applications for continuous monitoring in real-time.

Optical Modulation With Silicon Microspheres
Yüce, Emre; Serpenguzel, Ali (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009-10-15)
In this letter, a silicon microsphere coupled to a silica optical fiber half coupler has been characterized for electrooptical modulation in the L-band at 1.55 mu m. Electrooptical modulation of the transmitted and the 90 degrees elastic scattered signals for both the TE and the TM polarizations of the microsphere resonances has been observed.
Comparative investigation of resonance characteristics and electrical size of the double sided SRR BC SRR and conventional SRR type metamaterials for varying substrate parameters
EKMEKÇİ, EVREN; Sayan, Gönül (EMW Publishing, 2009-01-01)
This paper introduces a planar µ-negative (MNG) metamaterial structure, called double-sided split ring resonator (DSRR), which combines the features of a conventional SRR and a broadside-coupled SRR (BC-SRR) to obtain much better miniaturization at microwave frequencies for a given physical cell size. In this study, electromagnetic transmission characteristics of DSRR, BC-SRR and conventional SRR are investigated in a comparative manner for varying values of substrate parameters which are thickness, the rea...
Calculation of optimized parameters of rectangular microstrip patch antenna using particle swarm optimization
Yilmaz, A. Egemen; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (Wiley, 2007-12-01)
In this letter, the particle swarm optimization has been applied to calculate the optimized length and width of rectangular inicrostrip antennas. The inputs to the problem are the dielectric constant and thickness of the substrate; together with the desired resonant frequency; the outputs arc the optimized length and width; where the antennas are considered to be electrically thin. The results are in good agreement with the results (experimental and calculated by other heuristics) in the literature. (C) 200...
Characterization of chiral metamaterial sensor with high sensitivity
Dalgac, Sekip; BAKIR, MEHMET; KARADAĞ, FARUK; ÜNAL, EMİN; KARAASLAN, MUHARREM; Sabah, Cumali (Elsevier BV, 2020-02-01)
In this study, a chiral metamaterial sensor applications are created by placing asymmetrically two meander line front and back side of the substrate layer. Characterization of the dielectric constant, thickness and loss tangent have been performed both in simulation and experimental methods. Different Arlon type materials used for showing the effects of dielectric constant on transmission coefficient. Obtained bandwidths for characterization are greater than the similar studies which verifyies increased sen...
The Effects of Gate-Connected Field Plates on Hotspot Temperatures of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs
Dundar, Canberk; Kara, Dogacan; Donmezer, Nazli (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-01-01)
To increase the reliability and the maximum performance of AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs), gate field plates are frequently used with surface passivation. Although significant research has been done to understand the electrical effects of gate field plates on devices, their thermal effects are still not fully understood. For this purpose, electrothermal simulations are performed on devices with and without gate field plates having different thicknesses of Si3N4 surface passivation at t...
