A tunable 2D rod type Si Photonic Crystal cavity based impact sensing configuration is proposed and numerically analyzed. The cavity is sandwiched by perfect electric conductor (PEC) boundaries in order to provide out-of-plane light confinement. An on-purpose air slot is introduced between the Si rods and top PEC plate moving the light confinement into the slotted region and making the cavity highly responsive to the displacement of top PEC boundary. Optomechanical coupling strength is calculated to be on the order of 300 GHz/nm. Proposed light confinement inside the slot shows similar characteristics to slot waveguiding phenomenon and offers valuable opportunities for mechanical sensing applications. For a practical approach, PEC boundaries are replaced by Gold plates and the potential of the structure as an inertial sensor is investigated with a specific focus on impact sensing applications to be used in automotive security systems. Numerical analyses indicate that the device, whose sensing area is only 106.6 mu m2, has a response time of 16.6 mu s asserting that the proposed sensor can sense the presence of an impact faster than several commercially available ones, in a much more compact form.

High-Q Slot-Mode Photonic Crystal Nanobeam Cavity Biosensor With Optomechanically Enhanced Sensitivity Erdil, Mertcan; Kocaman, Serdar (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-03-01) A biosensor design based on a photonic crystal nanobeam cavity with an optomechanical positive feedback mechanism is proposed. Design of the cavity and optomechanical sensitivity enhancement method are numerically analyzed and the results show that fourfold improvement is possible without any degradation of the Q-factor.
High responsivity InP-InGaAs quantum-well infrared photodetectors: Characteristics and focal plane array performance Cellek, OO; Ozer, S; Beşikci, Cengiz (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005-07-01) We report the detailed characteristics of long-wavelength infrared InP-In0.53Ga0.47As quantum-well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs) and 640 x 512 focal plane array (FPA) grown by molecular beam epitaxy. For reliable assessment of the detector performance, characterization was performed on test detectors of the same size and structure with the FPA pixels. Al0.27Ga0.73As-GaAs QWIPs with similar spectral response (lambda(p) = similar to 7.8 mu m) were also fabricated and characterized for comparison. InP-InGaAs...
A theoretical study of chemical doping and width effect on zigzag graphene nanoribbons Pekoz, Rengin; Erkoç, Şakir (Elsevier BV, 2009-12-01) The energetics and the electronic properties of nitrogen- and boron-doped graphene nanoribbons with zigzag edges have been investigated using density functional theory calculations. For the optimized geometry configurations, vibrational frequency analysis and wavefunction stability tests have been carried out. Different doping site optimizations for a model nanoribbon have been performed and formation energy values of these sites revealed that zigzag edgesite for both of the dopants were the most favorable ...
A computer simulation of amorphous silicon Dereli, Guelay; Yalabık, M.Cemal; Ellialtıoğlu, Şinasi (IOP Publishing, 1989-7-1) n this work we simulated the growth of amorphous silicon on a substrate of a two-layer-slab of crystalline silicon with various surface indices. We used the Lennard-Jones form for the pair potentials and the Axilrod-Teller form for the three-body potentials. The growth is realized by means of a continuum Monte-Carlo method and the radial distribution functions are compared for various cases
Extension of forward-backward method with DFT-based acceleration algorithm for the efficient analysis of large periodic arrays with arbitrary boundaries Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Chou, HT (Wiley, 2005-11-05) An extension of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT)-based forward-backward algorithm is developed using the virtual-element approach to provide a fast and accurate analysis of electromagnetic radiation/scattering front electrically large, planar, periodic, finite (phased) arrays with arbitrary boundaries. Both the computational complexity and storage requirements of this approach are O(N-tot) (N-tot is the total number of unknowns). The numerical results for both printed and freestanding dipole array's wit...
