High Sensitivity Fano-Like Rod-Type Silicon Photonic Crystal Refractive Index Sensor

2020-09-27
© 2020 IEEE.A rod-type silicon photonic crystal structure has been designed and numerically analyzed for the first time in a sensing application. Rods are sandwiched between Perfect Electric Conductor (PEC) plates to obtain 2D PhC characteristics. Light-matter interaction is maximized by strong light localization in the air region, cavity Q-factor is enhanced with Fano-like resonance, and an ultra-high sensitivity up to 1039 nm/RIU is observed.

Highly Sensitive and Tunable Fano-like Rod-Type Silicon Photonic Crystal Refractive Index Sensor
Kılıç, Selahattin Cem; Kocaman, Serdar (2021-01-01)
IEEEA highly sensitive and tunable 2D rod-type silicon photonic crystal cavity based biosensor configuration has been designed and numerically analyzed. The structure is optimized so that the light-matter interaction is maximized in the cavity region. Out-of-plane light confinement is achieved by sandwiching the rods between metal plates, and tuning is achieved by introducing an air-gap between on top of the rods and the metal plate. A single rod is positioned in the middle of the waveguide so that the cavi...
Single layer graphene Hall sensors for scanning Hall probe microscopy (SHPM) in 3-300 K temperature range
Sonusen, S.; KARCI, ÖZGÜR; DEDE, MUNIR; Aksoy, S.; Oral, Ahmet (2014-07-30)
Graphene micro-Hall probes were developed for a scanning Hall probe microscope system and used for the direct magnetic imaging domains of demagnetized NdFeB permanent magnet for the first time. The Hall coefficient and minimum magnetic field resolution of graphene Hall probes at 1 kHz were found to be 0.18 Omega/G and 0.20 G/root Hz for a drive current of 3 mu A at room temperature in vacuum. The magnetic domains in NdFeB demagnetized magnet were observed at 300K, 126K and 3K successfully.
High performance focal plane array technologies from short to long wavelength infrared bands
Arslan, Yetkin; Beşikci, Cengiz; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
This thesis work covers the development of three different state of the art infrared sensor technologies: quantum well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs), HgCdTe sensors and extended InGaAs photodetectors. QWIP is the leading member of the quantum structure infrared photodetector family providing excellent uniformity and stability with field proven performance. The utilization of the InP/In0.48Ga0.52As multi-quantum well structure (instead of the standard AlGaAs/GaAs material system) for the implementation of ...
High resolution computational spectral imaging with photon sieves
Öktem, Sevinç Figen; Davila, Joseph (2014-10-27)
Photon sieves, modifications of Fresnel zone plates, are a new class of diffractive image forming devices that open up new possibilities for high resolution imaging and spectroscopy, especially at UV and x-ray regime. In this paper, we develop a novel computational photon sieve imaging modality that enables high-resolution spectral imaging. For the spatially incoherent illumination, we study the problem of recovering the individual spectral images from the superimposed and blurred measurements of the propos...
Efficient Light Trapping in Inverted Nanopyramid Thin Crystalline Silicon Membranes for Solar Cell Applications
MAVROKEFALOS, Anastassios; HAN, Sang Eon; Yerci, Selçuk; Branham, Matthew S.; CHEN, Gang (2012-06-01)
Thin-film crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells with light-trapping structures can enhance light absorption within the semiconductor absorber layer and reduce material usage. Here we demonstrate that an inverted nanopyramid light-trapping scheme for c-Si thin films, fabricated at wafer scale via a low-cost wet etching process, significantly enhances absorption within the c-Si layer. A broadband enhancement in absorptance that approaches the Yablo-novitch limit (Yablo-novitch, E. J. Opt. Soc. Am. 1987, 72, ...
