The diffractive optical elements that mainly concentrate light are primarily designed via numerical methods. These methods incur increased computational time as well as a lack of real-life conditions. Our experimental approach offers a new design method for SpliCon, a particular type of diffractive optical element that can spectrally split and concentrate broadband light (420 nm - 875 nm). We managed to form a programmable SpliCon by wavefront shaping via a phase-only spatial light modulator.The method we adopted is ∼ 300 times faster than the conventional methods. We spectrally split the broadband range into three frequency bands, as well as achieving simultaneous concentration of the incident light. The spatial light modulator steered the frequency bands of red (560 nm - 875 nm), green (425 nm - 620 nm), and blue (420 nm - 535 nm) into two and three regions. When we have two concentration regions, the total enhancement factor is 715 %; and the spectral splitting ratios are 52 %, 57 %, and 66 % for the red, the green, and the blue channels, respectively.For the three concentration region case, the total enhancement factor is 564 %; and the spectral splitting ratios are 43 %, 37 %, and 34 % for the red, the green, and the v blue channels, respectively. Additionally, we present the methods to convert a programmable SpliCon into a physical Splicon that can be fabricated at large scale and low cost

Frequency Selective Characteristics of a Plasma Layer with Sinusoidally Varying Electron Density Profile
GÜREL, ÇİĞDEM SEÇKİN; Oencue, Emrah (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2009-06-01)
In this study reflection, absorbtion and transmission characteristics of a plasma layer having sinusoidally varying electron number density are analysed. In the analysis, plasma layer is divided into thin subslabs with constant electron number densities. The general frequency selective behavior of the plasma is investigated by varying the plasma parameters, external magnetic field excitation and sinusoidal electron distribution in order to be used in recent plasma applications.
Spectral and spatial control of broadband light using wavefront shaping
Yolalmaz, Alim; Yüce, Emre; Yerci, Selçuk; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2022-2-9)
Spectral and spatial control of light strongly influences central fields such as solar energy, spectroscopy, holography, and imaging. Enhanced control of propagation, diffraction, scattering, and interference of light using micro-and nano-structures leads to superior performance in these fields. This thesis presents light control in spectral and spatial domains using wavefront control for solar energy, spectroscopy, holography, and imaging applications. Spectral splitting of the sunlight using diffractive o...
Excitonic effects on the nonlinear optical properties of small quantum dots
KARABULUT, İBRAHİM; Safak, H.; Tomak, Mehmet (IOP Publishing, 2008-08-07)
The excitonic effects on the nonlinear optical properties of small quantum dots with a semiparabolic confining potential are studied under the density matrix formalism. First, within the framework of the strong confinement approximation, we present the excitonic states and then calculate the excitonic effects on the nonlinear optical properties, such as second harmonic generation, third harmonic generation, nonlinear absorption coefficient and refractive index changes. We find the explicit analytical expres...
Anisotropic electrical and dispersive optical parameters in InS layered crystals
QASRAWI, ATEF FAYEZ HASAN; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Elsevier BV, 2010-02-01)
The anisotropy effect on the current transport mechanism and on the dispersive optical parameters of indium monosulfide crystals has been studied by means of electrical conductivity and polarized reflectance measurements along the a-axis and the b-axis, respectively. The temperature-dependent electrical conductivity analysis in the range 10-350 K for the a-axis and in the range 30-350 K for the b-axis revealed the domination of the thermionic emission of charge carriers and the domination of variable range ...
Oscillations in dc driven barrier discharges: Numerical solutions, stability analysis, and phase diagram
SIJACIC, DD; EBERT, U; Rafatov, İsmail (American Physical Society (APS), 2005-06-01)
A short gas-discharge layer sandwiched with a semiconductor layer between planar electrodes shows a variety of spatiotemporal patterns. We focus on the spontaneous temporal oscillations that occur while a dc voltage is applied and while the system stays spatially homogeneous; the results for these oscillations apply equally to a planar discharge in series with any resistor with capacitance. We define the minimal model, identify its independent dimensionless parameters, and then present the results of the fu...
