Terahertz (THz) frequency range lying between 0.1 to 10 THz, and its technology has attracted vast interests due to its wide application areas [1]. The importance of developing passive and active devices which work in terahertz wave frequencies is ever more increasing in this popular field [1-2]. Superconducting devices are excellent candidates due to their distinctive advantages of extremely low noise, low power consumption and high frequency operation [3-4]. In addition to these, although high-Tc superconducting low-loss metamaterial devices have been designed, thin films based on (Bi2212) Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x have not been utilized. In this study, we present two types of filters for the terahertz (THz) frequency range. Our goal is to develop narrow band THz band-pass filters based on superconducting metamaterials. In contrast to metals, the complex conductivity of superconductors intrinsically depends on the magnetic field, temperature, and applied optical fields. Active metamaterial structures can therefore be realized by directly controlling the conductivity of the superconducting elements without introducing additional elements. ITO, Ti and Cu were chosen as the metallic layer due to their good attachment to the substrate. These films were grown in high vacuum magnetron sputtering system. Terahertz resonant filters were lithographically fabricated from 90-300 nm metal films grown on a 1 mm thick quartz substrate. After fabrication, the samples were measured using a Bruker Vertex V80 FTIR spectrometer. Transmission measurements have shown center frequencies and bandwidths close to the design predictions. The measured results of metal mesh filters showed an insertion loss, which is due to the finite conductivity of the metal films and some loss in the substrate. Finally the created structures were also characterized using time-domain THz spectroscopy (THzTDS) and CW-THz measurement systems. CST microwave program is used for simulation studies of transmittance properties of filter structures and compared with experimental results. Furthermore, superconducting Bi2212 thin films will be used for fabrication of filter structures.

Terahertz (THz) spectroscopy of Freon-11 (CCl3F, CFC-11) at room temperature Altan, Hakan; Alfano, S. A.; Alfano, R. R. (2006-08-31) The rotational spectrum for the lowest vibrational mode for CCl3F has been measured in the 0.1-2 THz frequency range using a compact time-resolved terahertz spectrometer. The peak of the population spectrum for the ground state rotational manifold was observed at 0.3 THz. The observed absorption profile was modeled with rotational and vapor pressure parameters. The limits of detectivity of the compact THz system are discussed in context of atmospheric sensing.
Ensemble Monte Carlo simulation of quantum well infrared photodetectors Memiş, Sema; Tomak, Mehmet; Department of Physics (2006) Quantum well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs) have recently emerged as a potential alternative to the conventional detectors utilizing low bandgap semiconductors for infrared applications. There has been a considerable amount of experimental and theoretical work towards a better understanding of QWIP operation, whereas there is a lack of knowledge on the underlying physics. This work provides a better understanding of QWIP operation and underlying physics through particle simulations using the ensemble Monte...
Terahertz mobility measurements on poly-3-hexylthiophene films: Device comparison, molecular weight, and film processing effects Esentürk, Okan; Heilweil, Edwin J. (2008-01-15) We directly compare relative carrier mobilities in semiconducting organic polymer films measured using noncontact optical pump terahertz (THz) probe spectroscopy to those reported in electrical device studies. Relative transient signal amplitude measurements of photoinjected carrier mobility as a function of poly-3-hexylthiophene (P3HT) molecular weight correlate directly with electrical device test values, indicating that the THz method shows promise as a rapid material screening approach. We also present ...
Metamaterial Inspired Electrically Small GSM Antenna with Steerable Radiation Patterns and High Radiation Efficiency Türkmen. Öznur; Sayan, Gönül; ZİOLKOWSKİ, RW (2013-07-13) In this study, metamaterial inspired, electrically small, single band antennas with steerable radiation patterns and high radiation efficiencies are proposed. Three different antenna structures having their maximum directivities in the vertical (Antenna A), diagonal (Antenna B) and horizontal (Antenna C) directions are presented and their simulated performance characteristics are reported. These antennas, which consist of a coax-fed printed monopole and a capacitively loaded loop (CLL) as a near-field reson...
Optical system design of direct detection short-pulsed laser proximity sensor Korkmaz, Emrah; Yerci, Selçuk; Demir, Şimşek; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2017) In this study, we designed a Laser Proximity Sensor system that measures the distance by analyzing the echo signal reflected from object using time-of-flight principle. The sensor makes a direct-detection using a short-pulsed laser and is capable of detecting objects and measuring distances in a range between 0.5 m and 10 m far from the system. Reflectivities of objects are assumed to lie between 20% and 90% and obeying to Lambertian BSDF (Bi-Directional Scatter Distribution Function). A mathematical model ...
