The Hot Electron Light Emitting and Lasing in Semiconductor Heterostructure (HELLISH-1) device is a novel surface emitter which utilises hot carrier transport parallel to the layers of a Ga(1-x)Al(x)As p-n junction incorporating a single GaAs quantum well on the n-side of the junction plane. Non-equilibrium electrons are injected into the quantum well via tunnelling from the n-layer. in order to preserve the charge neutrality in the depletion region, the junction undergoes a self-induced internal biasing. As a result the built-in potential on the p-side is reduced and hence the injection of non-equilibrium holes into the quantum well in the active region is enhanced. The work presented here shows that a distributed Bragg reflector grown below the active region of the HELLISH device increases the emitted light intensity by two orders of magnitude and reduces the emission line-width by about a factor of 3 in comparison with the original HELLISH-1 structure. Therefore, the device can be operated as an ultrabright emitter with higher spectral purity.

Ultra-fast charge exchange spectroscopy for turbulent ion temperature fluctuation measurements on the DIII-D tokamak (invited) Uzun Kaymak, İlker Ümit; McKee, G. R. (2012-10-01) A novel two-channel, high throughput, high efficiency spectrometer system has been developed to measure impurity ion temperature and toroidal velocity fluctuations associated with long-wavelength turbulence and other plasma instabilities. The spectrometer observes the emission of the n = 8-7 hydrogenic transition of C+5 ions (lambda(air) = 529.06 nm) resulting from charge exchange reactions between deuterium heating beams and intrinsic carbon. Novel features include a large, prism-coupled high-dispersion, v...
Proton irradiation and gamma-ray irradiation testing studies on the commercial grade GaNFETs to investigate their characteristics under the space radiation environment Boyacı, Lütfi; Keysan, Ozan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) In this thesis, the radiation performances of the commercial GaNFETs were investigated for the possible future integration of these devices to the power subsystems of the satellites as a main switching power element instead of the Silicon MOSFET. Two main irradiation tests were applied to the GaNFETs, namely proton irradiation test, and gamma-ray irradiation test. By these tests, tough space radiation environment was simulated to understand the GaNFET’s radiation performances. In the proton irradiation test...
Spatiotemporal patterns in a dc semiconductor-gas-discharge system: Stability analysis and full numerical solutions Rafatov, İsmail; EBERT, Ute (American Physical Society (APS), 2007-09-01) A system very similar to a dielectric barrier discharge, but with a simple stationary dc voltage, can be realized by sandwiching a gas discharge and a high-ohmic semiconductor layer between two planar electrodes. In experiments this system forms spatiotemporal and temporal patterns spontaneously, quite similarly to, e.g., Rayleigh-Benard convection. Here it is modeled with a simple discharge model with space charge effects, and the semiconductor is approximated as a linear conductor. In previous work, this ...
Data acquisition system for Lorentz force electrical impedance tomography using magnetic field measurements Kaboutari, Keivan; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017) Lorentz Force Electrical Impedance Tomography (LFEIT) is a novel imaging modality to image electrical conductivity properties of biological tissues. This modality is recently proposed for early stage diagnosis of cancerous tissues. The main aim of this thesis study is to develop a data acquisition system for LFEIT. Design of contactless receiver sensor, static magnetic field generation (0.56 T is generated by permanent neodymium magnets), amplification of received signals and experimental studies using vari...
Electromagnetic simulations of polarization-insensitive and wide-angle multiband metamaterial absorber by incorporating double asterisk resonator Abdulkarim, Yadgar; Deng Lianwen, Deng Lianwen; Luo Heng, Luo Heng; Huang Shengxiang, Huang Shengxiang; He Longhui, He Longhui; Li Yuhan, Li Yuhan; Muhammadsharif, Fahmi F.; ALTINTAŞ, OLCAY; Sabah, Cumali; KARAASLAN, MUHARREM (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-04-25) A novel multiband metamaterial absorber (MTMA) is proposed which is capable of well presenting a polarization-insensitive and wide incident angle stability in the microwave frequency range. The proposed MTMA comprising two vertically stacked asterisk-based copper resonators separated by dielectric layer of flame retardant type four and backed with a thin copper film. High-frequency structure simulator was used to simulate the absorber and to depict surface current distribution. The results showed that the a...
