The aim of this work is to investigate new classes of artificial materials exhibiting unconventional properties in order to build novel devices operating in the Terahertz regime. We focus on the design, fabrication and characterization of tunable metamaterials with unit cells based on Split Ring Resonators. By incorporation of a nematic liquid crystal in the structure, we observe a frequency shift in the resonant response over 10% in bandwidth and more than 10 dB change in the signal absorption. We discuss how such a hybrid structure can be exploited for the development of a THz spatial light modulator.

Hybrid metamaterial based structures for the development of a THz spatial light modulator
Chikhi, N.; Casini, R.; Papari, G. P.; Lisitskiy, M.; Tkachenko, V.; Altan, Hakan; Andreone, A. (2014-05-14)
We investigate new classes of artificial materials exhibiting unconventional properties in order to build novel devices operating in the Terahertz regime. The design, fabrication and electromagnetic characterization of tunable meta materials with unit cells based on Split Ring Resonators are presented.

Integrated optical modulators based on photonic crystals
Gövdeli, Alperen; Kocaman, Serdar; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018)
Photonic Crystals, artificial optical structures making manipulation of the light possible, have become a popular platform since their first development. Here, such optical components are studied theoretically and their unusual behaviors are utilized for integrated optics components. In particular, ability to change the effective index contribution of photonic crystals is exploited for the design of a low-voltage and area efficient integrated optical modulator. Variety of different aspects are compared betw...
Super-Resolution Image Reconstruction Applied to an Active Millimeter Wave Imaging System based on Compressive Sensing
Alkus, Umit; Ermeydan, Esra Sengun; ŞAHİN, ASAF BEHZAT; ÇANKAYA, İLYAS; Altan, Hakan (2017-09-11)
The development of passive and active millimeter wave imaging systems is progressing rapidly fueled by the need for many applications in the area of security and defense. Imaging schemes that may either utilize array detectors or single detectors in scan architectures offer suffer from poor resolution due to the longer wavelengths used and the limits of the optical system in terms of lens and mirror dimensions. In order to overcome this limit, super-resolution techniques can be employed to enhance the resol...
Hydrothermal method for doping of zinc oxide nanowires and fabrication of ultraviolet photodetectors
Afal, Ayşegül; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Turan, Raşit; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2012)
Nanotechnology comprises of the understanding and control of materials and processes at the nanoscale. Among various nanostructured materials, semiconducting nanowires attract much interest for their novel physical properties and potential device applications. The unique properties of these nanowires are based on their high surface to volume ratio and quantum confinement effect. Zinc oxide, having a direct, wide bandgap and large exciton binding energy, is highly appealing for optoelectronic devices. Due to...
Monorail : an alternative transportation mode for METU
Gökbulut, Alev; Savaş Sargın, Ayşen; Department of Architecture (2003)
The aim of this thesis is to investigate an alternative mode of transportation for METU and the impacts of spatial transformations generated by the proposed system in an architectural context. This study embraces modern concepts of space-time in the practice of architectural design, and involves a sensitive consideration of the perception of space relative to position, speed and movement. In an urban context, the thesis unfolds spatial transformations affected by new movement technology. While the notions o...
