In this study, we propose a special type of slow light photonic crystal (PC) waveguide structure to achieve slow light with an improved delay and bandwidth product (DBP). The waveguide is based on a triangular lattice PC with a line defect imposed by changing the radii and locations of the holes lying along the waveguide centerline. By altering the locations of these central holes, group indices ranging approximately from 25 to 40 are obtained over frequency intervals, attaining a nearly constant group index. It is also observed that the group index spectrum has an S-like shape under certain circumstances. The manipulations of structural parameters easily allow attaining higher or lower group indices. For special configurations, normalized DBPs can be enhanced up to a value of 0.554. According to the best of the authors' knowledge, this value is the highest value achieved with PC waveguide structures, and this value is achieved without using any special optimization methods such as topology optimization. Group velocity dispersion values of various configurations are minimized to enable proper optical pulse propagation. (c) 2012 Optical Society of America

Slow Light in Evanescently-Coupled Optical Cavities Containing Quantum Dots Ergecen, Emre (2014-04-16) Ability to tune the group velocity of a light pulse is of great importance for optical communication applications and realization of quantum information processing. Tunability of group velocity can be achieved by using either optical or electronic resonances. Tunability of an optical resonance depends on the change in refractive index of the cavity material. However, since electro-optical coefficients of non-engineered materials are quite small, the tuning range of optical resonances by electric field is na...
Dynamic modeling of optical systems in order to study vibration effect on performance Avsar, Ahmet Levent; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2010-08-03) In order to determine the vibration effects on performance in optical system, a simple vibratory model is proposed. The model suggested is compared with FE model. Both models are validated by modal tests for an existing simple optical system. The material properties of adhesive, which play an imported role in the vibratory model of an optical system, are found experimentally by using a simple test setup. The model suggested is used to investigate the dynamic behavior of the optical system under random vibra...
High speed QWIP FPAs on InP substrates Eker, S. U.; Arslan, Y.; Beşikci, Cengiz (Elsevier BV, 2011-05-01) Quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIP) technology has allowed the realization of low cost staring focal plane arrays (FPAs). However, AlGaAs/(In)GaAs QWIP FPAs suffer from low quantum and conversion efficiencies under high frame rate and/or low background conditions.
High-performance readout circuit for resonator-based MEMS accelerometer using digital control loop Ali, Muhammad; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-11) This study proposes a new digital control loop-based compact readout circuit for a resonant MEMS accelerometer providing high performance with reduced temperature and power supply dependence while utilizing low processing power. The readout circuit utilizes a charge-sensing pre-amplifier stage that converts the small motional current to readable voltage, which is then converted to the digital domain using a 16-bit ADC to perform the amplitude and frequency extraction in the digital domain. A Proportional In...
Low-cost uncooled infrared detector arrays in standard CMOS Eminoglu, S; Tanrikulu, MY; Akın, Tayfun (2003-04-25) This paper reports the development of a low-cost 128 x 128 uncooled infrared focal plane array (FPA) based on suspended and thermally isolated CMOS p(+)-active/n-well diodes. The FPA is fabricated using a standard 0.35 mum CMOS process followed by simple post-CMOS bulk micromachining that does not require any critical lithography or complicated deposition steps; and therefore, the cost of the uncooled FPA is almost equal to the cost of the CMOS chip. The post-CMOS fabrication steps include an RIE etching to...
