A new concept of millimeter-wave (MMW) imaging system is demonstrated in this letter. The new concept is based on glow discharge detector (GDD) focal plane array (FPA) and a basic CMOS camera. The GDD elements emit optical light as a function of the incident MMW radiation intensity. By synchronizing the modulation of the MMW source with the exposure time of the CMOS camera in a way that every two consecutive frames were captured with the influence of theMMW radiation and without it, we were able to observe the effect of the MMW radiation alone on the GDD FPA without the light deriving from the GDD DC bias.

Nonlinear laser lithography for indefinitely large-area nanostructuring with femtosecond pulses Oktem, Bulent; Pavlov, Ihor; Ilday, Serim; Kalaycioglu, Hamit; Rybak, Andrey; Yavas, Seydi; Erdogan, Mutlu; İLDAY, Fatih Ömer (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-11-01) Dynamical systems based on the interplay of nonlinear feedback mechanisms are ubiquitous in nature(1-5) . Well-understood examples from photonics include mode locking(6) and a broad class of fractal optics(7), including self-similarity(8). In addition to the fundamental interest in such systems, fascinating technical functionalities that are difficult or even impossible to achieve with linear systems can emerge naturally from them(7) if the right control tools can be applied. Here, we demonstrate a method t...
Efficient finite element solution of low-frequency scattering problems via anisotropic metamaterial layers Ozgun, Ozlern; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (Wiley, 2008-03-01) We introduce a new technique which remedies the drawbacks in the Finite Element solution of low-frequency electromagnetic scattering problems, through the usage of an anisotropic metamaterial layer which is designed by employing the coordinate transformation approach. The usual finite element method should utilize a "challenging" mesh generation scheme to accurately simulate the "small" objects in scattering problems; on the contrary, the proposed technique provides a considerable reduction in the number of...
Quantum Transport Mode in Graphene Nanoribbon Based Transistor Hedayat, Sayed Norollah; Ahmadi, Mohammad Taghi; Sedghi, Hassan; Goudarzi, Hadi; Moradi, Shahram (American Scientific Publishers, 2017-09-01) Graphene has incredible carrier transport property with high application opportunity at single molecule level, which composes it as promising materials on nano electronic application. In order to develop the new device such as graphene nanoribbon transistor, Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistor (CNTFET) and nanowire based devices, it is essential to investigate the quantum limit in low dimensional systems. In this paper transmission coefficient of the schottky structure in the graphene based transistor i...
A simple single-mode fiber loss measurement scheme in the C-band based on fiber loop-cavity ringdown spectroscopy Berberoglu, Halil; Altan, Hakan (Elsevier BV, 2014-04-15) An extremely sensitive and simple fiber loop-cavity ringdown spectroscopy (FL-CRDS) setup has been designed based on a turn-key nanosecond pulse laser source operating at 1535 nm. The system sensitivity is demonstrated to be approximately 0.01 dB after extracting the characteristic macrobend loss curve of a standard single mode fiber (SMF-28). The experiment demonstrated that the oscillatory behavior in the rapid loss due to the increasing curvature could be seen for single turn bare fibers with radii of cu...
Lattice-matched AlInAs-InGaAs mid-wavelength infrared QWIPs: characteristics and focal plane array performance Kaldirim, M.; Arslan, Y.; Eker, S. U.; Beşikci, Cengiz (IOP Publishing, 2008-08-01) The AlInAs/InGaAs material system is promising for mid-wavelength infrared (MWIR) and multi-band quantum well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs) as a lattice-matched alternative to the strained AlGaAs/InGaAs system. In this paper, we report a large format (640 x 512) AlInAs/InGaAs QWIP focal plane array (FPA) with 4.9 mu m cut-off wavelength and assess the performance of this material system for MWIR QWIP applications at both pixel and large format FPA level. We also experimentally demonstrate that the cut-off...
