In this paper, we report a metamaterial absorber design that achieves a broad absorption band encompassing the whole long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) region. The structure consists of two parallel metasurfaces buried in an amorphous silicon dielectric layer, where the minimum size for all possible planar details does not go below 1 mu m, making the use of standard optical lithography possible for fabrication. The dielectric layer of the structure is placed over a metallic ground plane that inhibits the transmission of incident waves. A substrate underneath the ground plane may also be needed for the purpose of mechanical support. This structure achieves a minimum absorptivity of about 90% in almost the full LWIR band in the case of normal incidence in a polarization-insensitive manner due to the four-fold symmetry of the structural geometry. The absorber also shows reduced sensitivity to off-normal incidence angles, satisfying a minimum absorption level of approximately 80% up to the incidence angle of 45 deg. This broadband metamaterial absorber design is anticipated to find applications in thermal emitters/coolers and in thermal infrared sensors. (C) 2017 Optical Society of America

Broadband LWIR and MWIR metamaterial absorbers with a simple design topology: almost perfect absorption and super-octave band operation in MWIR band ÜSTÜN, Kadir; Sayan, Gönül (The Optical Society, 2017-07-01) Infrared absorbers are essential structures in the design of thermal emitters and thermal infrared imagers. In this study, we propose simple topologies of wideband metamaterial absorbers operating in the long-wave infrared or in the mid-wave infrared (MWIR) wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum where the atmosphere shows transparent behavior. Suggested metamaterial absorbers are mostly thin structures that consist of three functional layers from top to bottom: a periodically patterned metal layer, a p...
Highly efficient and broadband light transmission in 90 degrees nanophotonic wire waveguide bends KURT, HAMZA; Giden, I. H.; Ustun, K. (The Optical Society, 2011-03-01) Nanophotonic wire silicon waveguides are indispensable components of integrated photonic circuits. Because of the inherent nature of these waveguides, such as narrow width and high-index contrast, corners with large bending radii are inevitable for efficient light transmission with small loss values, which, in turn, impedes the miniaturization of photonic components. To alleviate huge bending losses of a right angle waveguide, we designed a structure incorporating a two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystal, al...
Tunable surface plasmon resonance on an elastomeric substrate Olcum, Selim; Kocabas, Askin; Ertaş, Gülay; Atalar, Abdullah; Aydinli, Atilla (The Optical Society, 2009-05-11) In this study, we demonstrate that periods of metallic gratings on elastomeric substrates can be tuned with external strain and hence are found to control the resonance condition of surface plasmon polaritons. We have excited the plasmon resonance on the elastomeric grating coated with gold and silver. The grating period is increased up to 25% by applying an external mechanical strain. The tunability of the elastomeric substrate provides the opportunity to use such gratings as efficient surface enhanced Ram...
Dispersive optical constants of Tl2InGaSe4 single crystals Qasrawi, A. F.; Hasanlı, Nızamı (IOP Publishing, 2007-09-01) The structural and optical properties of Bridgman method grown Tl2InGaSe4 crystals have been investigated by means of room temperature x-ray diffraction, and transmittance and reflectance spectral analysis, respectively. The x-ray diffraction technique has shown that Tl2InGaSe4 is a single phase crystal of a monoclinic unit cell that exhibits the lattice parameters of a = 0.77244 nm, b = 0.64945 nm, c = 0.92205 nm and beta = 95.03 degrees . The optical data have revealed an indirect allowed transition band ...
Optoelectronic properties of Ga(4)Se(3)S-layered single crystals QASRAWI, ATEF FAYEZ HASAN; Hasanlı, Nızamı; Ilaiwi, K. F. (IOP Publishing, 2008-07-01) The optoelectronic properties of Bridgman method-grown Ga(4)Se(3)S single crystals have been investigated by means of room temperature electrical resistivity, temperature-dependent photosensitivity and temperature-dependent optical absorption. The photosensitivity was observed to increase with decreasing temperature, the illumination dependence of which was found to exhibit monomolecular recombination in the bulk at 300 K. The absorption coefficient, which was calculated in the incident photon energy range ...
