In this paper, we present silicon nitride metamaterial absorber designs that accomplish large bandwidth and high absorption in the long wave infrared (LWIR) region. These designs are based on the metal-insulator-metal topology, insulator (silicon nitride), and the top metal (aluminum) layers are optimized to obtain high absorptance values in large bandwidths, for three different silicon nitride based absorber structures. The absorption spectrum of the final design reaches absorptance values above 90% in the wavelength interval between 8.07 mu m and 11.97 mu m, and above 80% in the wavelength interval between 7.9 mu m and 14 mu m, in the case of normal incidence. The difficulty in the design process of such absorbers stems from the highly dispersive behavior of silicon nitride in the LWIR region. On the other hand, silicon nitride is a widely used material in microbolometers, and accomplishing wide band absorption in silicon nitride is crucial in this regard. Therefore, this study will pave the way for more efficient infrared imaging devices, which are crucial for defense and security systems. Additionally, such designs may also find applications in thermal emitters. Published by AIP Publishing.

Narrow band gap benzodithiophene and quinoxaline bearing conjugated polymers for organic photovoltaic applications Caliskan, Meric; Erer, Mert Can; Aslan, Sultan Taskaya; Udum, Yasemin Arslan; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Çırpan, Ali (Elsevier BV, 2020-09-01) The reasonable selection and optimization of donor-acceptor units allow the band gap tuning as well as the light absorption ability and the energy levels of the photoactive layer of Bulk Heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells. In this work, a series of new quinoxaline and selenophene based benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b'] dithiophene (BDT) bearing conjugated polymers were synthesized via Pd (0) catalyzed Stille polycondensation reaction. The 2-(2-octyldodecyl) selenophene ring was attached to 4th and 8th positions of phenyl r...
Robust background normalization method for one-channel microarrays AKAL, TÜLAY; Purutçuoğlu Gazi, Vilda; Weber, Gerhard-Wilhelm (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2017-04-01) Background: Microarray technology, aims to measure the amount of changes in transcripted messages for each gene by RNA via quantifying the colour intensity on the arrays. But due to the different experimental conditions, these measurements can include both systematic and random erroneous signals. For this reason, we present a novel gene expression index, called multi-RGX (Multiple-probe Robust Gene Expression Index) for one-channel microarrays.
Design Studies of Axial Vircator for High Power Microwave Generation KÜÇÜK, İBRAHİM SEMİH; TİMUR, BÜŞRA; Tanc, Zafer; Demir, Şimşek (2017-09-27) This paper presents design and simulation results of the cylindrical axial virtual cathode oscillator which is frequently used to damage electronic equipment by generating High Power Microwaves (HPM). Simulations are performed in MAGIC Tool Suite which uses FDTD-PIC algorithm to solve particle beam and field interactions. During the design procedure, AK Gap is changed from 5 mm to 12 mm and the scaling law is verified by simulation results. 9 mm AK gap values are selected as the most suitable one when outpu...
Direct Reconstruction of Pharmacokinetic-Rate Images of Optical Fluorophores From NIR Measurements Alacam, Burak; Yazici, Birsen (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009-09-01) In this paper, we present a new method to form pharmacokinetic-rate images of optical fluorophores directly from near infra-red (NIR) boundary measurements. We first derive a mapping from spatially resolved pharmacokinetic rates to NIR boundary measurements by combining compartmental modeling with a diffusion based NIR photon propagation model. We express this mapping as a state-space equation. Next, we introduce a spatio-temporal prior model for the pharmacokinetic-rate images and combine it with the state...
Dark current mechanisms and passivation of InAsSb infrared photodiodes on alternative substrates Ersagun, Özlem; Beşikci, Cengiz; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) This thesis reports a detailed characterization of indium arsenide antimonide (InAs1- xSbx) photodetectors grown on gallium arsenide (GaAs) substrate by molecular beam epitaxy. A combination of polyimide and sulphur and a single layer of polyimide were used as passivation films in this study. Two different epilayer structures were used for assessing the detector performance and comparing the above passivation layers. For the first structure, the optical measurements revealed that Sb mole fraction was 0.13 a...
