Here, a method to eliminate the trade-off between quality factor (Q-factor) and sensitivity of a one dimensional slot mode photonic crystal nanobeam cavity biosensor is presented. Applied method utilizes an optomechanical feedback mechanism in order to generate transverse gradient optical forces inside the cavity. A pump mode is utilized in order to generate the optical force, triggered by intrusion of analyte into the background medium. The amount of generated force is controlled via an interference mechanism at the output realized by the feedback loop. By utilizing created optical force, slot width of the nanobeam cavity is dynamically tuned and the quality factor degradation due to the decrease in the refractive index contrast of the cavity is compensated by enhancing the field confinement inside the cavity. With the contribution of the slot width tuning to the resonant wavelength shift, sensitivity of the biosensor is increased without any degradation of the Q-factor. Numerical analyses regarding the cavity design and the elimination of trade-off are provided. Obtained results show that the both performance can be increased at the same time.

Delay characteristics comparison of coherently coupled high-Q multi-cavity array and single embedded quantum dot cavity systems Kocaman, Serdar; Sayan, Gönül (2017-01-31) The optical analogue to electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is modeled for two separate systems with the same formalism and the spectral characteristics together with the generated group delay are compared. First system is a coherently coupled high-Q multi-cavity array which represents the classical EIT and is limited by the finite broadening of the cavity and the second one is a single embedded quantum dot (QD) cavity system, a cavity-QD EIT, that depends on both QD broadening and cavity propert...
A one dimensional slot mode photonic crystal nanobeam cavity design for optical bio-sensing applications Erdil, Mertcan; Kocaman, Serdar; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2020) In this thesis, we presented a refractive index based optical bio-sensor, utilizing a slot mode one dimensional photonic crystal cavity as a transducing element. We benefited from the suitability of slotted one dimensional photonic crystal cavities for optical bio-sensing applications, owing to their capability of confining the light strongly in the low dielectric media. We described the theory behind the design, and also provided numerical analyses, characterizing the device performance. We also demonstrat...
Utilization of motor current based torque feedback to improve the transparency of haptic interfaces Baser, Ozgur; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan (2012-06-01) In this paper motor current based torque feedback compensator is utilized in actuator space together with a closed loop impedance control algorithm instead of model based compensator to improve the transparency performance of haptic interfaces; moreover, a novel transparency evaluation metric is developed to evaluate the transparency performance of these devices. The proposed control algorithm is experimentally tested on a 1 DOF haptic device by employing a low-cost current sensor. It is also tested on a MA...
Development of high fill factor and high performance uncooled infrared detector pixels Küçük, Şeniz Esra; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011) This thesis presents the design, fabrication and characterization of high performance and high fill factor surface micromachined uncooled infrared resistive microbolometer detectors which can be used in large format focal plane arrays (FPAs). The detector pixels, which have a pixel pitch of 25 μm, are designed and fabricated as two-level structures using the enhanced sandwich type resistor while the active material is selected as Yttrium Barium Copper Oxide (YBCO). First level of the pixel structure is allo...
Analysis and Elimination of the Capacitive Feedthrough Current on Electrostatically Actuated and Sensed Resonance-Based MEMS Sensors Kangul, Mustafa; Aydin, Eren; Gokce, Furkan; Zorlu, Ozge; Külah, Haluk (2017-12-01) This paper presents the investigation of two different capacitive feedthrough current elimination methods with an analysis of the effect of the capacitive feedthrough current on the resonance characteristics of electrostatically actuated and sensed resonant MEMS sensors. Electrostatically actuated and sensed resonators have various applications, such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, mass sensors, and temperature sensors. In most of these applications, as sensitivity increases, gain decreases. The capacitive f...
