Radiation properties of sources inside photonic crystals
(Bilkent University, 2003)The control of spontaneous emission is an important problem both in basic and applied physics. Two main problems arise in the control of emission: enhancement or suppression and angular confinement of radiation. In this ... -
Refractive index tuning with Burstein-Moss effect in Indium Nitrite under photoexcitation
(Bilkent University, 2009)The band filling effect due to free carriers introduces a shift in the absorption edge, which in turn modifies the refractive index of the medium through the Kramers-Kronig relation. This is known as the Burstein-Moss ... -
Repetition-rate stabilization of femtosecond stretched-spectrum fiber laser
(Bilkent University, 2008)Passively modelocked lasers produce trains of femtosecond pulses, with the temporal separation between the pulses being determined by the length of the laser cavity. The repetition rate of the laser is inverse of this ... -
Ridge waveguide GaAS
(Bilkent University, 1994)The study of solid-state laser structures in low dimensions has gained great deal of attention in recent years. The theory originated in early 1960s developed really fast along with new fabrication methods bringing ... -

(Bilkent University, 2009)We analyze two leg Bose Hubbard model under uniform magnetic field within various methods. Before studying the model, we discuss the background on rotating Bose Einstein condensates, Bose Hubbard model and superfluid ... -
Scanning hall probe microscopy (SHPM) using quartz crystal AFM feedback
(Bilkent University, 2005)Scanning Hall Probe Microscopy (SHPM) is a quantitative and non-invasive technique for imaging localized surface magnetic field fluctuations such as ferromagnetic domains with high spatial and magnetic field resolution ... -
Selective plasmonic control of excitons and their non-radiative energy transfer in colloidal semiconductor quantum dot solids
(Bilkent University, 2009)To date extensive research has proved that semiconductors and metals exhibit extraordinary optical properties in nano-dimensions compared to their bulk counterparts. For example, an interesting effect is observed in ... -
Silicon and carbon based nanowires
(Bilkent University, 2004)Nanowires have been an active field of study since last decade. The reduced dimensionality end size allowing electrons can propagate only in one direction has led to quantization which are rather different from the bulk ... -
Silicon based dielectrics : growth, characterization, and applications in integrated optics
(Bilkent University, 2005)In recent years, growing attention has been paid to silicon based dielectrics, such as silicon oxynitrides, silicon nitrides, and semiconductor doped silicon oxides, all combined under the name silica on silicon technology. ... -
