We present computational analysis of nanoantenna arrays for imaging and sensing applications at optical frequencies. Arrays of metallic nanoantennas are considered in an accurate simulation environment based on surface integral equations and the multilevel fast multipole algorithm developed for plasmonic structures. Near-zone responses of the designed arrays to nearby nanoparticles are investigated in detail to demonstrate the feasibility of detection. We show that both metallic and dielectric nanoparticles, even with subwavelength dimensions, can be detected.

Design, Simulation, and Fabrication of Broadband Inkjet-Printed Log-Periodic Antennas Dolapci, Turker; Mutlu, Feza; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2017-09-27) We present design and computational analysis of log-periodic antennas that are fabricated by using low-cost inkjet printing technology. The designed antennas operate in the 1.5-2.5 GHz range and are suitable for diverse applications, including energy harvesting at WiFi and GSM bands. Suitable designs are fabricated by using silver-based inks in standard commercial printers. Despite the challenges in both design and fabrication processes, we demonstrate log-periodic antennas with desired operating properties...
Investigation of Alternative Array Configurations of Nanowires for Maximum Power Transmission at Optical Frequencies Karaosmanoglu, Bariscan; Satana, Hasan Aykut; Dikmen, Fatih; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2017-07-14) We present a computational analysis and comparison of nanowire arrays for efficient transmission of electromagnetic power at optical frequencies. A reliable simulation environment involving the multilevel fast multipole algorithm for fast iterative solutions of surface integral equations is used to accurately compute field intensity and power density values in the vicinity of nanowires in diverse configurations.

Design and analysis of nano-optical networks consisting of nanowires and optimized couplers Altinoklu, Askin; Karaova, Gokhan; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2019-09-01) We present computational design and investigation of nano-optical systems involving nanowires and well-designed nano-couplers to effectively transmit electromagnetic power in nanometer scales. Different nano-couplers, which consist of optimal arrangements of nano-cubes, are carefully designed by considering various scenarios, e.g., nanowire lines with sharp corners and junctions. An efficient combination of genetic algorithms and the multilevel fast multipole algorithm is used to find suitable configuration...
Design and implementation of microwave lumped components and system integration using MEMS technology Temoçin, Engin Ufuk; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) This thesis presents the design and fabrication of coplanar waveguide to microstrip transitions and planar spiral inductors, and the design of metal-insulator-metal capacitors, a planar band-pass, and a low-pass filter structures as an application for the inductors and capacitors using the RF MEMS technology. This thesis also includes a packaging method for RF MEMS devices with the use of “benzocyclobutene” as bonding material.

Design and analysis of ultrashort femtosecond laser amplifiers Doğan, Ersin; Bilikmen, Kadri Sinan; Department of Physics (2006) This thesis presents a compact femtosecond laser amplifier design for optical preamplifiers and power amplifiers consist of theoretical perspective, simulations to analyze and optimize beam performance. The propagation through optical media is simulated for every optical component such as mirrors and nonlinear crystal separately and suggested realignment of these components required increasing amplifier performance. Finally Gaussian beam propagation and aberration compensation has been conducted.
