© 2019 SPIE.We present an optomechanical impact sensor, designed by the utilization of a 2D rod-type photonic crystal (PhC) cavity. The PhC cavity is sandwiched by perfect electrical conductor (PEC) boundaries with an air slot between the top of the PhC rods and the bottom of the top PEC layer. Strong light localization in the air slot region makes the PhC cavity characteristics highly sensitive to the air slot width, leading to optomechanical applications such as impact sensing. A suspended mechanical gold membrane, as a replacement of PEC layers for practical realizations, is designed to sense impact acceleration. In the presence of an impact, the mechanical structure deflects resulting in a change in the air slot height, which in turn, tunes the resonant wavelength of the PhC cavity. Calculations show that 16.6 μs response time, much faster than the commercially available ones (around 200 ms), is possible.

Integrated piezoresistive sensors for atomic force-guided scanning Hall probe microscopy BROOK, ALEX J; BENDİNG, SJ; PINTO, JONATHAN; Oral, Ahmet; RİTCHİE, DAVİD; BEERE, H; HENİNİ, M; SPRİNGTHORPE, A (AIP Publishing, 2003-05-19) We report the development of an advanced sensor for atomic force-guided scanning Hall probe microscopy whereby both a high mobility heterostructure Hall effect magnetic sensor and an n-Al0.4Ga0.6As piezoresistive displacement sensor have been integrated in a single III-V semiconductor cantilever. This allows simple operation in high-vacuum/variable-temperature environments and enables very high magnetic and topographic resolution to be achieved simultaneously. Scans of magnetic induction and topography of a...
High Sensitivity Fano-Like Rod-Type Silicon Photonic Crystal Refractive Index Sensor Kılıç, Selahattin Cem; Kocaman, Serdar (2020-09-27) © 2020 IEEE.A rod-type silicon photonic crystal structure has been designed and numerically analyzed for the first time in a sensing application. Rods are sandwiched between Perfect Electric Conductor (PEC) plates to obtain 2D PhC characteristics. Light-matter interaction is maximized by strong light localization in the air region, cavity Q-factor is enhanced with Fano-like resonance, and an ultra-high sensitivity up to 1039 nm/RIU is observed.
3D scanning Hall probe microscopy with 700 nm resolution DEDE, MUNIR; AKRAM, RİZWAN; Oral, Ahmet (2016-10-31) In this report, we present a three dimensional (3D) imaging of magnetic field vector (B) over right arrow (x,y,z) emanating from the magnetic material surfaces using a scanning Hall probe microscopy (3D-SHPM) down to a 700 nm spatial resolution. The Hall probe is used to measure B-z(x,y) on the specimen surface at different heights with the step size of Delta z = 250 nm, as we move away from the surface in z direction, until the field decays to zero. These set of images are then used to get partial derivati...
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...
High resolution computational spectral imaging with photon sieves Öktem, Sevinç Figen; Davila, Joseph (2014-10-27) Photon sieves, modifications of Fresnel zone plates, are a new class of diffractive image forming devices that open up new possibilities for high resolution imaging and spectroscopy, especially at UV and x-ray regime. In this paper, we develop a novel computational photon sieve imaging modality that enables high-resolution spectral imaging. For the spatially incoherent illumination, we study the problem of recovering the individual spectral images from the superimposed and blurred measurements of the propos...
