Publication Metadata only A communication theoretical modeling of single-layer graphene photodetectors and efficient multireceiver diversity combining(Ieee-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2012) N/A; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; Gülbahar, Burhan; Akan, Özgür Barış; PhD Student; Faculty Member; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; College of Engineering; 234525; 6647Graphene with groundbreaking properties has tremendous impact on physical sciences as 2-D atomic layer carbon sheet. Its unique electronic and photonic properties lead to applications such as transistors, graphene photodetectors (GPDs), and electronic circuit components. Metal-graphene-metal (MGM) GPDs with single-or multilayer graphene sheets are promising for future nanoscale optical communication architectures because of wide range absorption from far infrared to visible spectrum, fast carrier velocity, and advanced production techniques due to planar geometry. In this paper, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), bit-error rate (BER), and data rate performances of nanoscale single-layer symmetric MGM photodetectors are analyzed for intensity modulation and direct detection (IM/DD) modulation. Shot and thermal noise limited (NL) performances are analyzed emphasizing graphene layer width dependence and domination of thermal NL characteristics for practical power levels. Tens of Gbit/s data rates are shown to be achievable with very low BERs for single-receiver (SR) GPDs. Furthermore, multireceiver (MR) GPDs and parallel line-scan (PLS) network topology are defined improving the efficiency of symmetric GPDs. SNR performance of SR PLS channels are both improved and homogenized with MR devices having the same total graphene area by optimizing their positions with maxmin solutions and using maximal ratio and equal gain diversity combining techniques.Publication Metadata only A communication theoretical modeling of single-walled carbon nanotube optical nanoreceivers and broadcast power allocation(Ieee-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2012) N/A; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; Gülbahar, Burhan; Akan, Özgür Barış; PhD Student; Faculty Member; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; College of Engineering; 234525; 6647Carbon nanotube (CNT) with its ground-breaking properties is a promising candidate for future nanoscale communication networks. CNTs can be used as on-chip optical antenna for wireless interconnects. Carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNTFETs) show significant performance as photodetectors due to wide spectral region and tunable bandgap. In this paper, CNTFETs composed of semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) and metal contacts (M-SWNT-M) are used as photodiode receivers in nanoscale optical communication by theoretically modeling diameter-dependent characteristics for shot-, dark-, and thermal-noise-limited cases. Bit error rate (BER), cutoff bit rate, and signal-to-noise ratio performance are analyzed for intensity modulation and direct detection modulation. The multireceiver CNT nanoscale network topology is presented for information broadcast and the minimum SNR is maximized solving NP-hard max-min power allocation problem with semidefinite programming relaxation and branch and bound framework. The significant performance improvement is observed compared with uniform power allocation. Derived model is compared with existing experiments and hundreds of Mb/s data rate is achievable with very low BERs. Furthermore, optimization gain is highest for thermal-noise-limited case while the shot-noise-limited case gives the highest data rate.Publication Metadata only A magnetically actuated resonant mass sensor with integrated optical readout(Ieee-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2008) N/A; N/A; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; N/A; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering; Department of Mechanical Engineering; Öztürk, Alibey; Ocaklı, Hüseyin İlker; Özber, Natali; Ürey, Hakan; Kavaklı, İbrahim Halil; Alaca, Burhanettin Erdem; Master Student; Researcher; Master Student; Faculty Member; Faculty Member; Faculty Member; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering; Department of Mechanical Engineering; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; College of Engineering; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; College of Engineering; College of Engineering; College of Engineering; N/A; N/A; N/A; 8579; 40319; 115108Nickel cantilevers with integrated diffraction gratings are used as resonant mass sensors with a resolution of 500 femtograms. Their applicability to biosensing is demonstrated with human opioid receptors. The device is fabricated through a single-mask lithographic process. The microoptical readout provides a simple measurement platform with one external photodiode. Thanks to its ac operation principle, the device is immune to environmental noise and entails a high tolerance to fabrication defects. Obtained signal-to-noise ratio is comparable to that of a high-end Doppler vibrometer. The device with these aspects for systems integration and microarray technology is a candidate for low-cost portable sensors.Publication Metadata only Comb-actuated resonant torsional microscanner with mechanical amplification(IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2010) Brown, Dean; Davis, Wyatt O.; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; N/A; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; Arslan, Aslıhan; Holmstrom, Sven; Gökçe, Sertan Kutal; Ürey, Hakan; Researcher; Researcher; Master Student; Faculty Member; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; College of Engineering; College of Engineering; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; College of Engineering; N/A; N/A; N/A; 8579A comb-actuated torsional microscanner is developed for high-resolution laser-scanning display systems. Typical torsional comb-drive scanners have fingers placed around the perimeter of the scanning mirror. In contrast, the structure in this paper uses cascaded frames, where the comb fingers are placed on an outer drive frame, and the motion is transferred to the inner mirror frame with a mechanical gain. The structure works only in resonant mode without requiring any offset in the comb fingers, keeping the silicon-on-insulator-based process quite simple. The design intent is to improve actuator efficiency by removing the high-drag fingers from the high-velocity scanning mirror. Placing them on the lower velocity drive frame reduces their contribution to the damping torque. Furthermore, placement on the drive frame allows an increase of the number of fingers and their capacity to impart torque. The microscanner exhibits a parametric response, and as such, the maximum deflection is found when actuated at twice its natural frequency. Analytical formulas are given for the coupled-mode equations and frame deflections. A simple formula is derived for the mechanical-gain factor. For a 1-mm x 1.5-mm oblong scanning mirror, a 76. total optical scan angle is achieved at 21.8 kHz with 196-V peak-to-peak excitation voltages.

Magnetic hysteresis effects are incorporated into the model developed in the prior work, which assumes linear magnetization as a function of magnetic field and is based on the distributed point-by-point calculation of the magnetostatic moments and forces across the film surface. A simple functional form is used to model the major B-H loop of ferromagnetic films. The model is validated with permalloy (Ni-Fe) plated polymer actuators. The actuators are excited using an external electro-coil and the structures deflect due to magnetic anisotropy torque. The ac deflection of the actuators is modeled by calculating the point-by-point moments on the magnetic film and the solution can handle nonuniform external field and unsaturated magnetic film cases. A 25 degrees optical scan angle is demonstrated for laser scanning display and imaging applications with a nonoptimum coil. Scaling the model to MEMS devices is also discussed.Publication Metadata only Electrical conduction and NO 2 gas sensing properties of ZnO nanorods(Elsevier, 2014) Sahin, Yasin; Öztürk, Sadullah; Kosemen, Arif; Erkovan, Mustafa; Öztürk, Zafer Ziya; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; Kılınç, Necmettin; Researcher; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; College of Engineering; 59959Thermally stimulated current (TSC), photoresponse and gas sensing properties of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods were investigated depending on heating rates, illumination and dark aging times with using sandwich type electrode system. Vertically aligned ZnO nanorods were grown on indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass substrate by hydrothermal process. TSC measurements were performed at different heating rates under constant potential. Photoresponse and gas sensing properties were investigated in dry air ambient at 200 degrees C. For gas sensing measurements, ZnO nanorods were exposed to NO2 (100 ppb to 1 ppm) in dark and illuminated conditions and the resulting resistance transient was recorded. It was found from dark electrical measurements that the dependence of the dc conductivity on temperature followed Mott's variable range hopping (VRH) model. In addition, response time and recovery times of ZnO nanorods to NO2 gas decreased by exposing to white light.Publication Metadata only Energy-efficient data transmission for capacitive-coupled human body communication systems(Ieee-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2021) Filipovic, Luka; Herceg, Marijan; Vlaovic, Jelena; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; Başar, Ertuğrul; Faculty Member; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; College of Engineering; 149116In this letter, an energy-efficient and low-complexity method for capacitive-coupled human body communication (CC-HBC) systems is proposed. In the proposed method, called impedance shift keying CC-HBC, the change of impedance between the transmitter's signal and the ground electrode is used to map information. In particular, the transmitter changes the condition of an electrical field generated by the receiver by changing the impedance between its signal and ground electrodes. Subsequently, by detecting the changes in the electric field, the receiver can demodulate the information sent by the transmitter. The CC-HBC channel is obtained using the transfer function method, while the performance of the proposed scheme is compared with frequency shift keying and on-off keying modulations.Publication Metadata only Erratum to: exciton recycling via InP quantum dot funnels for luminescent solar concentrators(Tsinghua University) Ow-Yang, Cleva W.; N/A; N/A; N/A; N/A; Department of Physics; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; Jalali, Houman Bahmani; Sadeghi, Sadra; Toker, Işınsu Baylam; Han, Mertcan; Sennaroğlu, Alphan; Nizamoğlu, Sedat; PhD Student; PhD Student; PhD Student; Master Student; Faculty Member; Faculty Member; Department of Physics; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; College of Sciences; College of Sciences; N/A; N/A; N/A; N/A; 23851; 130295The article "Exciton recycling via InP quantum dot funnels for luminescent solar concentrators" written by Houman Bahmani Jalali(1),, Sadra Sadeghi(2),, Isinsu Baylam(3,4), Mertcan Han(5), Cleva W.

The resonators have potential applications in optical interconnects and sensors. We fabricate the samples by electron beam lithography and lift-off. We use a scattering matrix-based model to quantify the optical power output from the samples. We measure the properties of the resonators by coupling light in and out of the slot waveguides by optical antennas, making use of a cross-polarization-based setup utilizing a supercontinuum source and a high numerical aperture objective lens operating in the telecom-wavelength range. Our model agrees well with the measured data. Furthermore, development on the stub resonators can be made by using the methods in this letter.Publication Metadata only Few photon - qubit scattering in dispersive waveguides(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2016) N/A; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; Kocabaş, Şükrü Ekin; Faculty Member; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; College of Engineering; N/ADispersion in waveguides leads to atom-photon bound states in qubits embedded in waveguides.
