Terahertz (THz) and Mid-Infrared (MIR) radiation (TERA-MIR) can be transmitted through nearly any material without causing biological harm. Novel and rapid methods of detection can be created with devices operation in these spectral ranges allowing scanning for weapons, detecting hidden explosives (including plastic landmines), controlling the quality of food and a host of other exciting applications. This book focuses on mathematical and physical aspects of the field, on unifying these two spectral domains (THz and MIR) with regard to common sources, detectors, materials and applications, and on key interdisciplinary topics. The main THz and MIR source is the quantum cascade laser (QCL). Thus significant attention is paid to the challenge of turning this advanced technology into affordable commercial devices so as to exploit its enormous potential. However other alternatives to THz QCLs are also presented, e.g. sub-terahertz imaging from avalanching GaAs bipolar transistors, Josephson junctions as THz sources, semiconductor materials for pulsed THz sources, superconducting THz electronics with Josephson vortices. In summary this book delivers a global picture of the state of the art in TERA-MIR generation, detection and applications.

Ionizing Radiation Induces Structural and Functional Damage on the Molecules of Rat Brain Homogenate Membranes: A Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectroscopic Study Demir, Pinar; Akkaş, Sara Banu; Severcan, Mete; Zorlu, Faruk; Severcan, Feride (SAGE Publications, 2015-01-01) Humans can be exposed to ionizing radiation, due to various reasons, whose structural effects on biological membranes are not well defined. The current study aims to understand the ionizing radiation-induced structural and functional alterations in biomolecules of brain membranes using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy using rat animal models. For this purpose, 1000 cGy of ionizing radiation was specifically directed to the head of Sprague Dawley rats. The rats were decapitated after 24 h. The...
Topical delivery of heparin with polymeric nanoparticles on electrospun nanofibers Akolpoğlu, Duygu Deniz; Keskin, Dilek; Department of Biotechnology (2019) Skin surrounds underlying organs and preserve the body against harmful microbial, thermal and mechanical effects and skin damages may give rise to crucial disorders or even death. Therefore, skin regeneration is one of the most important issues in tissue engineering. Search on more effective biomaterials that will enhance regeneration while enabling requirements of a healing skin site is an important issue. In this study, heparin was encapsulated in poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) a...
Ultra-High Precision Radiation Dosimetry via Laser Bleaching the Color Centers in Fast Recovery Optical Fiber Sensors Ghahrizjani, Reza Taheri; Ameri, Mohsen; Jahanbakhsh, Hossein; Sadeghi, Hossein; Mohajerani, Ezeddin (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-06-01) High energy electromagnetic radiation or heavy charged particles are extensively used for medical treatment of certain cancers. Precise prediction or measurements of energy deposition of any types of radiation on tissue is critical in radiation therapy. In this research, the sensitivity of optical fiber dosimeters specifically doped with phosphor (P), Germanium (Ge) and Erbium (Er) are analyzed using Co-60 source at 169 cGy/min. The sensors are calibrated and the values of radiation induced attenuation (RIA...
Radiation Damage Studies for Fe-Based Alloys Under 30 MeV Proton Irradiation Uslu, Pelin; Akdeniz, Mahmut Vedat; Mehrabov, Amdulla; Demirköz, Melahat Bilge (2019-10-07) Materials should be radiation resistant for safe and reliable operation in radiation environments. Therefore, radiation tests are crucial for new candidate materials. Proton tests are critical for materials intended for use in nuclear reactors that produce hydrogen and hydrogen isotope ions and in the space environment that consists mostly of protons. Generally, crystalline materials are used in nuclear reactors and in space for their mechanical rob...
Terahertz modulation using a bandpass filter combined with a Graphene Supercapacitor Takan, Taylan; Nebioglu, Mehmet A.; Kakenov, Nurbek; Balci, Osman; KOCABAŞ, COŞKUN; Altan, Hakan (2015-09-22) Graphene is proving to be an efficient medium for the control of mm-wave/THz radiation. Its electrical and dielectric properties allows it to be incorporated into various existing device architectures. One such application is in the modulation of the amplitude of the propagating THz radiation. Due to its electrical properties this interaction is typically broadband in nature. To make this frequency selective we propose the use of metamaterials or frequency selective surfaces. Generally, these structures per...
