The need for optically multi-functional micro- and nano-structures is growing in various fields. Designing such structures is impeded by the lack of computationally low-cost algorithms. In this study, we present a hybrid design scheme, which relies on a deep learning model and the local search optimization algorithm, to optimize a diffractive optical element that performs spectral splitting and spatial concentration of broadband light for solar cells. Using generated data set during optimization of a diffractive optical element, which is a one-time effort, we design topography of diffractive optical elements by using a deep learning-based inverse design scheme. We show that further iterative optimization of the reconstructed diffractive optical elements increases amount of spatially concentrated and spectrally split light. Our joint design approach both speeds up optimization of diffractive optical elements as well as providing better performance at least 57% excess light concentration with spectral splitting. The algorithm that we develop here will enable advanced and efficient design of multifunctional phase plates in various fields besides the application that we target in solar energy. The algorithm that we develop is openly available to contribute to other applications that rely on phase plates.

Automatic segmentation of VHR images using type information of local structures acquired by mathematical morphology
AYTEKİN, orsan; Ulusoy, İlkay (Elsevier BV, 2011-10-01)
The morphological profile (MP) and differential morphological profile (DMP) have been used extensively to acquire spatial information to be used in the segmentation of very high resolution (VHR) remotely sensed images. In most of the previous approaches, the maxima of the MP and DMP were investigated to estimate the best representative scale in the spatial domain for the pixel under consideration. Then, the object type (i.e. dark, bright or flat) was estimated based on the location of the maximum. Finally, ...
Perfect metamaterial absorber design for solar cell applications
Mulla, B.; Sabah, C. (2015-07-03)
A new perfect metamaterial absorber based on metal-dielectric layer combination is designed and investigated to be used in solar cell application. The designed structure is particularly presented in the range of solar spectrum in order to utilize the solar energy effectively. Parametric studies with respect to the dimensions of the structure are carried out to characterize the absorber. According to the results, it is found that the metamaterial absorber has 99.99% absorption at 403.5 THz. In addition, the ...
Nanoscale chemical mapping using three-dimensional adiabatic compression of surface plasmon polaritons
DE ANGELIS, Francesco; DAS, Gobind; CANDELORO, Patrizio; PATRINI, Maddalena; GALLI, Matteo; Bek, Alpan; LAZZARINO, Marco; MAKSYMOV, Ivan; LIBERALE, Carlo; ANDREANI, Lucio Claudio; DI FABRIZIO, Enzo (2010-01-01)
The fields of plasmonics, Raman spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy have recently undergone considerable development, but independently of one another. By combining these techniques, a range of complementary information could be simultaneously obtained at a single molecule level. Here, we report the design, fabrication and application of a photonic-plasmonic device that is fully compatible with atomic force microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Our approach relies on the generation and localization of sur...

Spectral and spatial control of broadband light using wavefront shaping
Yolalmaz, Alim; Yüce, Emre; Yerci, Selçuk; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2022-2-9)
Spectral and spatial control of light strongly influences central fields such as solar energy, spectroscopy, holography, and imaging. Enhanced control of propagation, diffraction, scattering, and interference of light using micro-and nano-structures leads to superior performance in these fields. This thesis presents light control in spectral and spatial domains using wavefront control for solar energy, spectroscopy, holography, and imaging applications. Spectral splitting of the sunlight using diffractive o...
