Ir Detection

An aluminum nitride (AlN) piezoelectric resonant infrared (IR) detector based on a Lame-wave resonator (LWR) and plasmon apertures was designed for dual-band sensing, and was investigated by using the finite element method (FEM) and finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulations. A plasmon structure with the apertures was designed on the surface of the detector in order to maintain electrical performance and to obtain ultrahigh dual-band IR absorption. The electrical performance of the LWR with the plasmon apertures was comparable to that of the LWR with floating electrodes, which was found to be superior to that of the LWRs with plasmon particles or open electrodes. Both of the rectangle aperture and cross-shaped aperture absorbers can achieve ultrahigh dual-band absorptions of up to 97%, and the cross-shaped aperture absorber is insensitive to the polarization angle. Moreover, a detailed optimization analysis for the thermal properties of the detector was conducted to obtain favorable responsivity and response speed. The calculated results demonstrate that the proposed resonant detector has great potential applications in IR detection.

A new metamaterial absorber (MA) having distinct properties than those given in the literature is investigated. Although several designs have been studied for achieving absorption characteristics in single-band, dual-band and multiple bands within the whole spectrum of solar light, there has been limited number of researches examining the broadband MA in the visible light section of the spectrum. The designed structure is composed of the combination of three layers having different thicknesses including a metallic substrate, dielectric and a metal layer. Due to the sandwich-like structure, it can support the plasmonic resonance. The proposed structure, which provides a maximum absorption level of 99.42% at 579.26 THz, has a high absorption rate of 99% between the frequency band 545 and 628 THz. Numerical results indicate that the proposed structure has perfect absorption which is greater than 90.98% through the whole working frequency band. The dependency of the designed structure on the polarization angle is investigated for different incident angles with TE and TM polarizations as well as the TEM mode. In addition to its potential applications such as solar cells and cloaking, the designed structure can also be considered as a color sensor and an optical frequency sensor.

AbstractGraphene nanowalls (GNWs) exhibit outstanding optoelectronic properties due to their peculiar structure, which makes them a great potential in infrared (IR) detection. Herein, a novel IR detector that is composed of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and designed based on GNWs is demonstrated. Such detector possesses an anomalous temperature coefficient of resistance of 180% K−1 and a relatively high change rate of current (up to 16%) under IR radiation from the human body. It primarily attributes to the ultra-high IR absorption of the GNWs and large coefficient of thermal expansion of PDMS. In addition, the GNW/PDMS device possesses excellent detection performance in the IR region with a responsivity of ~1.15 mA W−1. The calculated detectivity can reach 1.07×108 cm Hz1/2 W−1, which is one or two orders of magnitude larger than that of the traditional carbon-based IR detectors. The significant performance indicates that the GNW/PDMS-based devices reveal a novel design concept and promising applications for the future new-generation IR photodetectors.

AbstractWe are currently investigating the infrared (IR) optical properties of Cr doped ternary cadmium chalcogenides for potential applications in solid-state lasers and passive optical Qswitches. In this paper, we present compositional changes in the IR optical properties of Cr doped Cd1-xZnxTe single crystals with x=0.05, 0.1, and 0.2. Undoped CdZnTe crystals were grown by vertical Bridgman technique. Cr doping of CdZnTe was achieved through either in-situ doping or through a thermal diffusion process. For comparison, Cr: CdTe and Cr: ZnTe crystals were also prepared. The optical properties of Cr2+ ions were strongly dependent on the host composition and spectral blue shifts were observed with increasing Zn content in Cr: CdZnTe. The IR absorption peak of Cr2+ ions shifted from ∼1910 nm for Cr: CdTe to ∼1815 nm for Cr: Cd0.8Zn0.2Te. Less pronounced blue shifts were observed for the IR emission from Cr: CdZnTe crystals. The spectral shifts can be explained by the decrease in bond-length when going from CdTe to CdZnTe leading to an increased crystal-field effect experienced by Cr2+ ions. A slight broadening of the absorption and emission was also observed in ternary Cr: CdZnTe compounds compared to Cr: CdTe, which suggests that Cr2+ ions were incorporated in multiple lattice sites in CdZnTe. Moreover, the Cr2+ emission dynamics revealed a slightly non-exponential decay behavior for Cr: CdZnTe crystals, whereas the decay time of Cr: CdTe was single-exponential.

The adaptation of the LTCC (Low Temperature Cofired Ceramics) process for an unusually high number of layers (up to 50) will be described and explained in this paper. Special attention will be paid to lamination, debindering, and cofiring of the LTCC stack. The influence of necessary process variations on electrical properties such as permittivity will be studied. Very often the number of layers is determined by the complexity of the circuit. Here a minimum substrate height is required for the electrical performance of a patch antenna, particularly in terms of bandwidth. A dual band antenna for two Galileo bands at 1.58 GHz and 1.18 GHz was realized as a combination of two coupled patches. Circular polarization was attained by separately feeding each patch with a hybrid coupler. These features add further layers to an already considerable substrate height.

To restrict electromagnetic interference at WiMAX (3.3–3.7 GHz) and wireless local area network (WLAN) (5.15–5.825 GHz) bands operating within ultra wide bandwidth (UWB) band, a novel design of lamp-shaped UWB microstrip antenna with dual band-notched characteristics is presented. The proposed antenna is composed of a lamp-shaped radiating patch with two rectangular ground planes on both the sides of the radiator with the gap of 0.57 mm. To improve impedance mismatch at middle frequencies, two triangular strips one at each of the ground plane are added; whereas a rectangular slot is etched in the radiating patch to remove impedance mismatch at higher frequencies of the UWB band. Furthermore, an L-shaped slot in the radiator and two L-shaped slots in the ground plane are used to restrict electromagnetic interference (EMI) at WiMAX and WLAN bands, respectively, without affecting the electrical performance of the UWB antenna. Effects of the key parameters on the frequency range of the notched bands are also investigated. The proposed design shows a measured impedance bandwidth of 12.5 GHz (2.7–14.4 GHz), with the two band-notched bands of 3.0–3.9 and 4.9–5.8 GHz. The antenna is suitable to be integrated within the portable UWB devices without EMI interference at WiMAX and WLAN bands.

Abstract In photonics, it is essential to achieve high quality (Q)-factor resonances to enhance light-mater interactions for improving performances of optical devices. Herein, we demonstrate that high Q-factor dual-band Fano resonances can be achieved by using a planar nanohole slab (PNS) based on the excitation of bound states in the continuum (BICs). By shrinking or expanding the tetramerized holes of the superlattice of the PNS, symmetry-protected BICs can be excited and the locations of Fano resonances as well as their Q-factors can be flexibly tuned. Physical mechanisms for the dual-band Fano resonances can be interpreted as the resonant couplings between the electric-toroidal dipoles or the magnetic-toroidal dipoles based on the far-field multiple decompositions and the near-field distributions of the superlattice. The dual-band Fano resonances of the PNS possess polarization independent feature, they can be survived even the geometric parameters of the PNS are significantly altered, making them more suitable for potential applications.
