    Microwave applications of photonic band gap structures
    (IEEE, 2000-10) Temelkuran, Burak; Bayındır, Mehmet; Özbay, Ekmel; Biswas, R.; Sigalas, M. M.; Tuttle, G.; Ho, K.-M.
    We have investigated two major applications of photonic band gap materials. We demonstrated the guiding and bending of electromagnetic waves through planar waveguides built around layer-by-layer photonic crystals. We then investigated the radiation properties of an antenna that was formed by a hybrid combination of a monopole radiation source and a cavity built around the same photonic crystal structure. © 2000 IEEE.

    Photonic bandgap infrared spectrometer
    (Optical Society of America, 2010) Kondakci, H.E.; Yaman, M.; Dana, A.; Bayındır, Mehmet
    We propose and demonstrate an infrared (IR) absorption spectrometer, made with a spatially variable photonic bandgap (PBG) structure, a blackbody source, and a simple IR detector, to identify the IR molecular fingerprints of analyte molecules. The PBG-based structure consists of thermally evaporated, IR transparent, high-refractive-index chalcogenide quarter-wave stacks (QWS) with a cavity layer. Spatial variation of the very sharp transmission peak due to the QWS cavity mode allows the structure to be used as a variable IR filter. Our proposed IR-PBG spectrometer can be used for detection and identification of volatile organic compounds.
