Autofocus of infrared cameras based on the cumulative probability of blur detection
(IEEE Computer Society, 2014)The infrared (IR) cameras plays an important role in the measurement and analysis of object signature. However, especially the scientific IR cameras that are used for research and military purposes have manual focusing ... -
Differentiation and localization of target primitives using infrared sensors
(2002)This study investigates the use of low-cost infrared sensors in the differentiation and localization of commonly encountered target primitives in indoor environments, such as planes, corners, edges, and cylinders. The ... -
Ensemble pruning for text categorization based on data partitioning
(2011)Ensemble methods can improve the effectiveness in text categorization. Due to computation cost of ensemble approaches there is a need for pruning ensembles. In this work we study ensemble pruning based on data partitioning. ... -
High performance infrared photodetectors up to 2.8 μm wavelength based on lead selenide colloidal quantum dots
(OSA - The Optical Society, 2017)The strong quantum confinement effect in lead selenide (PbSe) colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) allows to tune the bandgap of the material, covering a large spectral range from mid- to near infrared (NIR). Together with the ... -
Idler-efficiency-enhanced long-wave infrared beam generation using aperiodic orientation-patterned GaAs gratings
(Optical Society of America, 2016)In this paper, we design aperiodic gratings based on orientation-patterned gallium arsenide (OP-GaAs) for converting 2.1 μm pump laser radiation into long-wave infrared (8-12 μm) in an idler-efficiency-enhanced scheme. ... -
Large area compatible broadband superabsorber surfaces in the VIS-NIR spectrum utilizing metal-insulator-metal stack and plasmonic nanoparticles
(OSA - The Optical Society, 2016)Plasmonically enhanced absorbing structures have been emerging as strong candidates for photovoltaic (PV) devices. We investigate metal-insulator-metal (MIM) structures that are suitable for tuning spectral absorption ... -

A near-infrared range photodetector based on indium nitride nanocrystals obtained through laser ablation
(IEEE, 2014)We present a proof-of-concept photodetector that is sensitive in the near-infrared (NIR) range based on InN nanocrystals. Indium nitride nanocrystals (InN-NCs) are obtained through laser ablation of a high pressure chemical ... -
A new approach to search result clustering and labeling
(2011)Search engines present query results as a long ordered list of web snippets divided into several pages. Post-processing of retrieval results for easier access of desired information is an important research problem. In ... -
Novel optical antenna designs of comb shaped split ring architecture for NIR and MIR enhanced field localization
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2014)We demonstrated NIR/MIR resonance behavior in optical antennas of comb-shaped split-ring resonators enabling substantially larger field enhancements than single/array of dipoles with the same side length, despite their ... -
Optically thin composite resonant absorber at the near-infrared band: A polarization independent and spectrally broadband configuration
(Optical Society of American (OSA), 2011)We designed, fabricated, and experimentally characterized thin absorbers utilizing both electrical and magnetic impedance matching at the near-infrared regime. The absorbers consist of four main layers: a metal back plate, ... -
Plasmonic gratings for enhanced near infrared sensitivity of Silicon based Schottky photodetectors
(2011)Schottky photodetectors have been intensively investigated due to their high speeds, low device capacitances, and sensitivity in telecommunication standard bands, in the 0.8μm to 1.5μm wavelength range. Due to extreme cost ... -
Postdeposition annealing on RF-sputtered SrTiO3 thin films
