The design and fabrication of a multi-pass matrix optical system (MMS) for the atmospheric trace gas measurement system planned to be established is described. The measurement system is a sealed thermal vacuum-capable chamber in which synthetic atmosphere configurations can be obtained by releasing various gases into the system. To increase the sensitivity of spectroscopic measurements, a MMS is designed to extend the optical path inside the chamber. The system, which is a modified Chernin cell design consisting of three objectives and two field mirrors, is adjustable to acquire up to 288 passes along the cavity. The design parameters of the system and the optimum configuration have been determined and simulated utilizing ray tracing technique with OpticStudio. Performance output and optical aberrations have been analyzed. As a result of the analysis, it has been shown that the geometric loss and astigmatism is negligible, off-axis angles are small, and the focal features are preserved. Performance experiments of the MMS were performed using a supercontinuum laser through an optical cuvette placed in open atmosphere environment. Two types of samples are chosen to simulate absorber and scatterrer behaviour. Absorption and scattering spectroscopy in the visible region of crystal violet (CV) and polypropylene (PP) were performed for different passage numbers and different concentrations. As a result of the measurements, the optimum number for the measurement system with a cuvette was determined as 32 with 4x4 matrix arrangement. The detection limit for CV is found to be 2.48 nM and for PP 16.8 μM. The results have been compared to alternative spectroscopy techniques. They show that; the system can be used for detection measurements of molecules and scattering microparticles in many fields ranging from atmospheric studies to environmental science. It offers a reliable, simple, inexpensive, fast and portable solution that can compete with other measurement techniques.

Design and performance of a hybrid fast and thermal neutron detector
Singh, M. K.; Sonay, A.; DENİZ, MUHAMMED; Agartioglu, M.; Asryan, G.; Kumar, G. Kiran; Li, H. B.; Li, J.; Lin, F. K.; Lin, S. T.; Sharma, V.; Singh, L.; Singh, V.; Subrahmanyam, V. S.; Soma, A. K.; Wong, H. T.; Yang, S. W.; Yildirim, I. O.; Yue, Q.; Zeyrek, Mehmet Tevfik (2017-10-01)
We report the characterization, calibration and performance of a custom-built hybrid detector consisting of BC501A liquid scintillator and BC702 scintillator for the detection of fast and thermal neutrons, respectively. Pulse Shape Discrimination techniques are developed to distinguish events due to gamma-rays, fast and thermal neutrons. Software analysis packages are developed to derive raw neutron energy spectra from measured proton recoil spectra. The validity is demonstrated through the reconstruction o...
DESIGN, ANALYSIS AND IMPLEMENTATION OF QUARTER-WAVE ABSORBER STRUCTURE FOR UNCOOLED INFRARED DETECTORS WITH HIGH FILL FACTOR
Cetin, Ramazan; Erturk, Ozan; Akın, Tayfun (2018-09-14)
This study presents design, analysis, optimization, and fabrication of umbrella structures as an efficient quarter wave absorber within the Long Wave Infrared (LWIR) range for uncooled IR detectors. Both the effect of the ni-chrome (NiCr) layer and effect of varying pixel pitch sizes on the IR absorption performance of the umbrella structures are examined. An average of 96% absorption is measured for the optimized case within the LWIR range.
Design, performance, and calibration of CMS hadron-barrel calorimeter wedges
Abdullin, S.; et. al. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-05-01)
Extensive measurements have been made with pions, electrons and muons on four production wedges of the compact muon solenoid (CMS) hadron barrel (HB) calorimeter in the H2 beam line at CERN with particle momenta varying from 20 to 300 GeV/c. The time structure of the events was measured with the full chain of preproduction front-end electronics running at 34 MHz. Moving-wire radioactive source data were also collected for all scintillator layers in the HB. The energy dependent time slewing effect was measur...
Numerical and Experimental Investigation into LWIR Transmission Performance of Complementary Silicon Subwavelength Antireflection Grating (SWARG) Structures
Cetin, Ramazan; Akın, Tayfun (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-03-18)
This paper presents a detailed comparison between the long wave infrared (LWIR) transmission performances of binary, silicon based, structurally complementary pillar and groove type antireflective gratings that can be used for wafer level vacuum packaging (WLVP) of uncooled microbolometer detectors. Both pillar and groove type gratings are designed with various topological configurations changing in various period sizes (Delta) from 1.0 mu m to 2.0 mu m, various heights/depths (h) from 0.8 mu m to 1.8 mu m,...
Design, Simulation, Fabrication and Testing of Flexible Bow-Tie Antennas
Durgun, Ahmet Cemal; Birtcher, Craig R.; Allee, David R. (2011-12-01)
Design, simulation, fabrication and measurement of two different novel flexible bow-tie antennas, a conventional and a modified bow-tie antenna with reduced metallization, are reported in this paper. The antennas are mounted on a flexible substrate fabricated at the Flexible Display Center (FDC) of Arizona State University (ASU). The substrate is heat stabilized polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) which allows the antennas to be flexible. The antennas are fed by a microstrip-to-coplanar feed network balun. The r...
