Here, we designed and synthesized alloyed heterostructures of CdSexS1-x nanoplatelets (NPLs) using CdS coating in the lateral and vertical directions for the achievement of highly tunable optical gain performance. By using homogeneously alloyed CdSexS1-x core NPLs as a seed, we prepared CdSexS1-x/CdS core/crown NPLs, where CdS crown region is extended only in the lateral direction. With the sidewall passivation around inner CdSexS1-x cores) we achieved enhanced photoluminescence quantum yield (PL-QY) (reaching 60%), together-with increased absorption cross-section and improved stability without changing the emission Spectrum of CdSexS1-x, alloyed core NPLs. In addition, we further extended the spectral tunability of these solution-processed NPLs with the synthesis of CdSexS1-x/CdS core/shell NPLs. Depending on the sulfur composition of the CdSexS1-x, core and thickness of the CdS shell, CdSexS1-x/CdS core/shell NPLs possessed highly tunable emission characteristics within the spectral range of 560-650 nm. Finally, we studied the optical gain performances of different heterostructures of CdSexS1-x, alloyed NPLs offering great advantages, including reduced reabsorption and spectrally tunable optical gain range. Despite their decreased PL-QY and reduced absorption cross-section upon increasing the sulfur composition, CdSexS1-x based NPLs exhibit highly tunable amplified spontaneous emission performance together with low gain thresholds down to similar to 53 mu J/cm(2).

EMPIRICAL FORMULATION OF BRIDGE INDUCTANCE IN INDUCTIVELY TUNED RF MEMS SHUNT SWITCHES
Topallı, Kagan.; ÜNLÜ, MEHMET; Atasoy, Halil İbrahim; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Demir, Şimşek; AKIN, TAYFUN (2009-01-01)
This paper presents a substrate independent empirical formulation for the bridge inductance of inductively tuned RF MEMS shunt switches, allowing a systematic design approach to tune their isolation bands. Inductive tuning of RF MEMS switches is achieved by inserting recesses in the ground plane and meanders to the bridges, allowing the tuning of the isolation band of the switch from the X-band to the mm-wave band. The bridge inductance is first extracted from parametric EM simulations of the RF MEMS shunt ...
Fiber-integrated terahertz spectrometer driven by ultrafast ytterbium doped fiber laser
Keskin, Hakan; Altan, Hakan; Berberoğlu, Halil Giray; Department of Physics (2013)
In this thesis, development of a Terahertz time domain spectrometer (THz-TDS) driven by an ultrafast Ytterbium (Yb) doped ber laser, whose repetition rate can be tuned, was investigated to show that it can be used in Optical Sampling by Cavity Tuning (OSCAT) technique which enables the fast acquisition of THz pulse pro les. Central wavelength of the Yb-doped laser developed for this study is 1031 nm. The output average power was measured to be 90 mW which corresponds to about two nanojoule per pulse at 51 ...
Optimized spacer layer thickness for plasmonic-induced enhancement of photocurrent in a-Si:H
Saleh, Z. M.; NASSER, H; ÖZKOL, E; GÜNÖVEN, M; Abak, Musa Kurtuluş; Canlı, Sedat; Bek, Alpan; Turan, Raşit (2015-10-24)
Plasmonic interfaces consisting of silver nanoparticles of different sizes (50-100 nm) have been processed by the self-assembled dewetting technique and integrated to hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) using SiNx spacer layers to investigate the dependence of optical trapping enhancement on spacer layer thickness through the enhancements in photocurrent. Samples illuminated from the a-Si:H side exhibit a localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) that is red-shifted with the increasing particle size an...

This paper presents a multi-channel piezoelectric acoustic transducer that is working within the audible frequency band (250- 5500 Hz). The transducer consists of eight cantilevers with thin film PLD-PZT piezoelectric layers. The transducer is well suited to be implanted in middle ear cavity with an active volume of 5x5x0.6 mm(3) and mass of 4.8 mg excluding the test frame. Finite Element Method (FEM) is used for modelling cantilever resonance frequencies and piezoelectric outputs. This model and shaker-tab...
Modeling and fabrication of electrostatically actuated diaphragms for on-chip valving of MEMS-compatible microfluidic systems
Atik, Ali Can; Ozkan, Metin Dundar; Ozgur, Ebru; Külah, Haluk; Yıldırım, Ender (IOP Publishing, 2020-11-01)
This paper presents an analytical model to estimate the actuation potential of an electrostatic parylene-C diaphragm, processed on a glass wafer using standard microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) process technology, and integrable to polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) based lab-on-a-chip systems to construct a normally-closed microvalve for flow manipulation. The accurate estimation of the pull-in voltage of the diaphragm is critical to preserve the feasibility of integration. Thus, we introduced an analytical m...
