The plasma medium which is created inside the GDD enables us to detect a wide wavelength range of differential or modulated EM signals impinging on them [1-2]. The interaction between the plasma and various frequency EM waves are still being investigated and in the terahertz range the interaction mechanism is still not well understood [1]. To understand the interaction better commercially available GDDs were studied using both time-domain and continuous wave mm wave/THz measurement systems. Using a 113GHz Schottky diode multiplied source the detection behaviour of the detector was investigated while the interaction of the GDD structure with the THz field was investigated between 100-1000GHz. The GDD response is similar to other commercially available room temperature mm wave/THz detectors and performs at a fraction of their cost. Using lock-in detection techniques the response was characterized at modulation frequencies up to 100 kHz. Furthermore the orientation of the electrode structure was sensitive to the polarization of the incident field. The polarization sensitive behaviour indicates a strong coupling between the incident and native field in the plasma. These effects were investigated by transmitting a broadband THz pulse through the structure for when the device was on and off. Within the constraints on the maximum modulation frequency of the THz transmitter antenna, certain THz frequencies are attenuated suggesting the electrode structure of the GDD can play a role in the detection. Future work will entail understanding the interaction by using numerical simulations modelling of a similar geometric structure with a glow discharge under modulated EM wave illumination.

Detection of far-infrared radiation using glow discharge detectors Takan, TAYLAN; ALASGARZADE, Namig; Uzun Kaymak, İlker Ümit; Sahin, Asaf B.; Altan, Hakan (2016-05-01) The plasma medium, created inside the neon indicator lamp, enables the detection of a wide wavelength range of differential or modulated EM signals. The interaction between the plasma and various frequency EM waves are still being investigated and in the mm-wave/terahertz range the interaction mechanism is still not well understood. In this study commercially available neon indicator lamps are studied using both time-domain and continuous wave mm-wave/THz measurement systems. The glow discharge detector res...
Identification of electromagnetic scattering mechanisms by two dimensional windowed fourier transform approach Germeç, K. Egemen; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004) In this thesis, it is demonstrated that the two-dimensional Windowed Fourier Transform (WFT) can be effectively used to analyze the local spectral characteristics of electromagnetic scattering signals in the two-dimensional spatial frequency domain. The WFT is the extension of the Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT), which was originally derived to analyze the local spectral characteristics of one dimensional time functions. Since the WFT focuses on the local spectral behavior of the scattered field, the si...
Determination of optical parameters of Ga0.75In0.25Se layered crystals IŞIK, MEHMET; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2012-05-01) The optical properties of the Ga0.75In0.25Se crystals have been investigated by means of transmission and reflection measurements in the wavelength range of 380-1100 nm. The analysis of the results performed at room temperature revealed the presence of optical indirect transtions with band gap energy of 1.89 eV. The variation of the band gap energy as a function of temperature was also studied in the temperature range of 10-300 K. The rate of change of band gap energy (? = 6.2 x 10(4) eV/K) and absolute zer...
Influence of nanoparticle shape on colloidal plasmonic interface properties Sarıgül, Elif; Bek, Alpan; Department of Physics (2014) Nanoparticles bearing free charges, interact very strongly with incoming electromagnetic radiation at certain frequencies called the plasmon resonance frequencies, depending on the size, shape and material properties of the particle and the medium. In order to enhance the light scattering by a two dimensional network of such plasmonic nanoparticles several strategies can be followed. In this thesis, it was pursued the fabrication and characterization of the nanoparticle decorated surfaces by colloidal solut...
Measurement of the Polarization of W Bosons with Large Transverse Momenta in W plus jets Events at the LHC Chatrchyan, S.; et. al. (2011-07-01) A first measurement of the polarization of W bosons with large transverse momenta in pp collisions is presented. The measurement is based on 36 pb(-1) of data recorded at root s = 7 TeV by the CMS detector at the LHC. The left-handed, right-handed, and longitudinal polarization fractions (f(L), f(R), and f(0), respectively) of W bosons with transverse momenta larger than 50 GeV are determined by using decays to both electrons and muons. The muon final state yields the most precise measurement: (f(L) - f(R))...
