© 2022 Elsevier B.V.This work reports defect and input intensity dependent nonlinear optical behaviors of Bi12GeO20 (BGO) single crystal. Open aperture (OA) Z-scan experiments were performed with 532 nm excitation wavelength under 4 ns and 100 fs pulsed laser irradiation. Obtained data were fitted with a theoretical model considering one-photon, two-photon and free carrier absorption contributions to nonlinear absorption due to longer lifetime of localized defect states than that of used laser pulse durations. At low input intensities, the BGO single crystal showed saturable absorption (SA) behavior and transition to nonlinear absorption (NA) behavior observed with further increase of the input intensities both of pulse durations. At low input intensity, the OPA mechanism is dominant and results in SA by filling of the defect states due to defect state at around one photon energy (2.32 eV). At higher input intensity, multi-photon, two-photon and free carrier absorption become dominant mechanisms, and nonlinear absorption behavior was observed. The lowest saturation threshold was found as 1.36 × 1010 W/cm2 with nanosecond pulses. We have revealed the mechanisms contributing both SA and NA, and determined saturation intensity threshold and effective nonlinear absorption coefficients. Our findings indicate that the tails of defect states overlap in the energy band gaps especially in sufficiently disordered crystal. With this way, the spectral range for saturable absorption and nonlinear absorption can be broadened.

The Effect of Thickness and Doping on the Nonlinear Absorption Behaviour of IIIA-VIA Group Amorphous Semiconductor Thin Films Kurum, Ulas; YAĞLIOĞLU, HALİME GÜL; YÜKSEK, MUSTAFA; ELMALI, Ayhan; Ates, Aytunc; KARABULUT, MEVLÜT; Mamedov, Gasan M.; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2011-06-30) The nonlinear optical absorption of InSe, GaSe and GaxIn1-xSe amorphous films with varying thickness and doping has been studied by open-aperture Z-scan experiment with 4 ns and 65 ps pulse durations at 1064 nm wavelength and femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy. Our results show that the dopant and film thickness (from 20 nm to 104 nm) results in switching from saturable absorption to nonlinear absorption for equal input intensities. This behaviour is attributed to increasing localized defect states with in...
An Analysis for the Broad-Band Absorption Enhancement Using Plasmonic Structures on Uncooled Infrared Detector Pixels Lulec, Sevil Z.; Küçük, Serhat; Battal, Enes; Okyay, Ali K.; Tanrikulu, M. Yusuf; Akın, Tayfun (2012-04-27) This paper introduces an analysis on the absorption enhancement in uncooled infrared pixels using resonant plasmon modes in metal structures, and it reports, for the first time in literature, broad-band absorption enhancement using integrated plasmonic structures in microbolometers for unpolarized long-wave IR detection. Different plasmonic structures are designed and simulated on a stack of layers, namely gold, polyimide, and silicon nitride in order to enhance absorption at the long-wave infrared. The sim...
Wavelength dependence of the nonlinear absorption performance and optical limiting in Bi12TiO20 single crystal PEPE, YASEMİN; Isik, Mehmet; KARATAY, AHMET; Hasanlı, Nızamı; ELMALI, AYHAN (2023-01-01) In this study, the influence of excitation wavelength and input intensity on the nonlinear absorption (NA) mechanism and optical limiting behavior of the Bi12TiO20 (BTO) single crystal were reported. The energy band gap of the BTO single crystal was obtained to be 2.38 eV. Urbach energy revealed that the single crystal has a highly defective structure. Open aperture (OA) Z-scan experiments were conducted at 532 and 1064 nm excitation wavelengths at various input intensities. Obtained experimental data were ...
The Effect of Labeled/Unlabeled Prior Information for Masseter Segmentation Tabar, Yousef Rezaei; Ulusoy, İlkay (Hindawi Limited, 2013-01-01) Several segmentation methods are implemented and applied to segment the facial masseter tissue from magnetic resonance images. The common idea for all methods is to take advantage of prior information from different MR images belonging to different individuals in segmentation of a test MR image. Standard atlas-based segmentation methods and probabilistic segmentation methods based on Markov random field use labeled prior information. In this study, a new approach is also proposed where unlabeled prior infor...
The Effect of Ultrasonication on the Size and Morphology of Iron Oxide - Chitosan Nano and Microparticles Akin, Deniz; YAKAR, ARZU; Gündüz, Ufuk (2013-04-28) The aim of this study is to synthesize magnetic Fe3O4-chitosan nano and microparticles (Fe3O4-CPs) by suspension cross-linking and ionic gelation methods and investigate the effect of ultrasonication on the size, morphology and magnetic properties. The synthesized particles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). The results showed that the ultrasonication decreased the mean particle diameter and enhanced magnetic ...
