High-Q Slot-Mode Photonic Crystal Nanobeam Cavity Biosensor With Optomechanically Enhanced Sensitivity

2019-03-01
A biosensor design based on a photonic crystal nanobeam cavity with an optomechanical positive feedback mechanism is proposed. Design of the cavity and optomechanical sensitivity enhancement method are numerically analyzed and the results show that fourfold improvement is possible without any degradation of the Q-factor.

A 2D Slotted Rod Type PhC Cavity Inertial Sensor Design for Impact Sensing
Orsel, Ogulcan Emre; ERDİL, MERTCAN; Kocaman, Serdar (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-02-01)
A tunable 2D rod type Si Photonic Crystal cavity based impact sensing configuration is proposed and numerically analyzed. The cavity is sandwiched by perfect electric conductor (PEC) boundaries in order to provide out-of-plane light confinement. An on-purpose air slot is introduced between the Si rods and top PEC plate moving the light confinement into the slotted region and making the cavity highly responsive to the displacement of top PEC boundary. Optomechanical coupling strength is calculated to be on t...
A Flexible and Low-Cost Tactile Sensor Produced by Screen Printing of Carbon Black/PVA Composite on Cellulose Paper
Sekertekin, Yeter; BOZYEL, İBRAHİM; GÖKCEN, DİNÇER (MDPI AG, 2020-05-01)
This study presents the design and fabrication of a flexible tactile sensor printed on a cellulose paper substrate using a carbon black (CB) - filled polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polymer matrix as ink material. In the design, electrodes are obtained by screen printing of CB/PVA composite on dielectric cellulose paper. The screen-printing method is preferred for fabrication because of its simplicity and low manufacturing cost. The tactile sensor is formed by overlapping two ink-printed sheets. Electrical properti...
High responsivity InP-InGaAs quantum-well infrared photodetectors: Characteristics and focal plane array performance
Cellek, OO; Ozer, S; Beşikci, Cengiz (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005-07-01)
We report the detailed characteristics of long-wavelength infrared InP-In0.53Ga0.47As quantum-well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs) and 640 x 512 focal plane array (FPA) grown by molecular beam epitaxy. For reliable assessment of the detector performance, characterization was performed on test detectors of the same size and structure with the FPA pixels. Al0.27Ga0.73As-GaAs QWIPs with similar spectral response (lambda(p) = similar to 7.8 mu m) were also fabricated and characterized for comparison. InP-InGaAs...
ENSEMBLE MONTE-CARLO SIMULATION OF RAMAN-SCATTERING IN GAAS
GUNCER, SE; FERRY, DK (1994-01-28)
A picosecond laser excited GaAs p-i-n structure is studied using an ensemble Monte Carlo method to determine the temporal and spatial evolution of the hot electron distribution function. The experimental set-up we simulate is a novel method based on Raman scattering of light from the electrons to measure the drift velocity of electrons in GaAs at high electric fields. It is observed that the simulation agrees with the experimental results, however, the measured velocity is actually averaged over the time ev...
Low temperature crystallization of amorphous silicon by gold nanoparticle
Karaman, M.; AYDIN, MURAT; Sedani, S. H.; ERTÜRK, KADİR; Turan, Raşit (Elsevier BV, 2013-08-01)
Single crystalline Si thin film fabricated on glass substrate by a process called Solid Phase Crystallization (SPC) is highly desirable for the development of high efficiency and low cost thin film solar cells. However, the use of ordinary soda lime glass requires process temperatures higher than 600 degrees C. Crystallization of Si film at around this temperature takes place in extremely long time exceeding 20 h in most cases. In order to reduce this long process time, new crystallization techniques such a...
