For most cases, the reflection phase diagram of a curved High Impedance Surface (HIS) is independent of the curvature. However, the surface waves generated on HISs, due to their periodic geometry, distorts their reflection characteristics within specific frequency intervals. In those intervals, the reflection phase changes as a function of radius of curvature and size of the HIS. These effects are not observed for the flat cases because of the lower radiation resistance of the surface waves.

Plane Wave Scattering from a Curved HIS: Normal Incidence
Durgun, Ahmet Cemal; Birtcher, Craig R. (2012-01-01)
An approximate analytical method is developed to characterize the reflection properties of a cylindrically curved high impedance surface (HIS). This method assumes a homogenized model for the curved HIS which can be extracted from the reflection properties of the flat HIS. In this work, only the normal incidence case is considered for TEz and TMz polarizations.
Reflection Phase Characterization of a Circularly Symmetric High Impedance Surface
Amiri, Mikal Askarian; Balanis, Constantine A.; Durgun, Ahmet Cemal (2014-01-01)
The reflection characteristics of a circularly symmetric high impedance surface, with a circular substrate in a cartesian coordinate system, is studied and compared with that of the rectangular HIS with straight strips. The operational bandwidth of the circular and rectangular HISs are obtained and compared together.
Exciton related nonlinear optical properties of a spherical quantum dot
Aksahin, E.; Unal, V. Ustoglu; Tomak, Mehmet (2015-11-01)
The nonlinear optical properties of an exciton in a spherical quantum dot (QD) is studied analytically. The nonlinear optical coefficients are calculated within the density matrix formalism. The electronic problem is solved within the effective mass approximation. The contributions from the competing effects of the confinement, the Coulomb interaction, and the applied electric field are calculated and compared with each other. We have made no assumptions about the strength of the confinement. We concentrate...
Reflection Phase Characterization of Curved High Impedance Surfaces
Durgun, Ahmet Cemal; Birtcher, Craig R. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013-12-01)
Reflection phase characteristics of cylindrically curved high impedance surfaces (HISs) are examined. Due to the non-periodicity of the problem, full wave solutions can be time consuming. To overcome this problem, an approximate semi-analytical method, which assumes a homogenized model for the curved HIS, is developed. The model parameters can be extracted from the reflection properties of the flat HIS. For the cases where only Floquet currents are excited, the reflection phase diagram of a curved HIS is in...
Linear and nonlinear intersubband optical absorptions in an asymmetric rectangular quantum well
Karabulut, I.; Atav, U.; Safak, H.; Tomak, Mehmet (2007-02-01)
The linear and nonlinear intersubband optical absorptions in AlxlGa1-xlAs/GaAs/AlxrGa1-xrAs asymmetric rectangular quantum well are studied within the framework of the density matrix formalism. We have calculated the electron energy levels and the envelope wave functions using the effective mass approach. In addition, we have obtained an expression for saturation intensity. It is shown that the parameters such as asymmetry and width of potential well not only shift the peak positions in absorption spectrum ...
