Fiber loop ring down (FLRD) is a time domain multi-functional sensing, characterization, detection technique. FLRD technique is used to sense temperature, pressure, strain, biological cells, refractive index, and chemical species. FLRD has high accuracy, high selectivity, ability of remote control and rapid response. In this project, two FLRD spectrometers working at 800 nm (figure 1) and 1535 nm (figure 2) were set up for sensing different chemical analytes like C2H2, CO2, Ar, N2, DMSO, DMF, H2O, C2H6O, C3H6O. After modification of sensor region parameters like diameter and length of etched fiber, interaction distance of sample and laser pulse, many of specified samples have been detected and characterized until now. Recently the spectrometers have been improved for sensing low concentration of analytes and methodology has been developed for experimental process. In future, FLRD spectrometers will be used for detection of dangerous trace chemicals CO, NO, etc. We also have worked with etched fiber and we have looked for the best geometrical parameters for both weak and strong absorbers. Moreover, we plan to use hollow and holey fiber to set up FLRD spectrometers to decrease minimum detectable concentration.

Fiber loop ring down (FLRD) spectroscopy is a sensitive spectroscopic technique that is based on absorption and it is convenient for trace chemical detection. Different FLRD systems are being improved in order to increase their sensitivity. In FLRD spectroscopy, detection of a sample is done by measuring of a leaking light at each trip within an optical cavity. Intensity of leaking light has an exponential decay where it is reduced by absorption of sample and scattering of light. In this project, two FLRD s...
Utilization of fiber loop ring down technique for sensing applications
Yolalmaz, Alim; Danışman, Mehmet Fatih; Bek, Alpan; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2017)
Fiber loop ring down (FLRD) spectroscopy is based on multiple interaction of laser light with sample/analyte. It is evolved from cavity ring down spectrometer with addition of optical fiber. Measurement accuracy rises with multiple interactions and this enhances the minimum detection limit compared to other spectrometers using single pass interaction such as FTIR, UV-VIS spectrometer. The other advantages of this technique are its insensitivity to laser fluctuation and detector performance. In this study, t...

Electrical Performance Limits of Fine Pitch Interconnects for Heterogeneous Integration
Durgun, Ahmet Cemal; Aygun, Kemal; Mahajan, Ravi; Hoang, Tim Tri; Shumarayev, Sergey Yuryevich (2019-01-01)
Heterogeneous integration facilitates faster design cycles with optimal functional IP module and silicon node combinations, but requires ultra-high bandwidth for the die-to-die communications. Fine pitch interconnects can meet such high bandwidth demands with simpler circuits, lower power and less latency. Hence, it is of utmost importance to understand the performance of these interconnects at different speeds and channel lengths. This paper focuses on a parametric study over the basic design parameters of...
