Breaking the trade-off between Q-factor and sensitivity for high-Q slot mode photonic crystal nanobeam cavity biosensors with optomechanical feedback
Erdil, Mertcan; Kocaman, Serdar (2019-01-01)
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 mechan...

Erdil, Mertcan; Kocaman, Serdar (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 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 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...
Highly Sensitive and Tunable Fano-like Rod-Type Silicon Photonic Crystal Refractive Index Sensor
Kılıç, Selahattin Cem; Kocaman, Serdar (2021-01-01)
IEEEA highly sensitive and tunable 2D rod-type silicon photonic crystal cavity based biosensor configuration has been designed and numerically analyzed. The structure is optimized so that the light-matter interaction is maximized in the cavity region. Out-of-plane light confinement is achieved by sandwiching the rods between metal plates, and tuning is achieved by introducing an air-gap between on top of the rods and the metal plate. A single rod is positioned in the middle of the waveguide so that the cavi...
Slots on Cylindrical Substrate Integrated Waveguide
Bayraktar, Omer; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem (2012-07-14)
Longitudinal slots and coupling between slots placed on the broad wall of a cylindrical substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) are modeled and characterized in order to design a slotted cylindrical SIW array. Characteristics of slot on the SIW bended on a cylindrical surface and effects of radius of curvature to the slot and mutual coupling characteristics are investigated at K band using FEM simulator.
