Article Citation - WoS: 56Citation - Scopus: 62Cross-like terahertz metamaterial absorber for sensing applications(Springer Verlag, 2018) Sabah, Cumali; Mulla, Batuhan; Altan, Hakan; Özyüzer, LütfiIn this work, a new multiband terahertz metamaterial absorber is designed and characterised by numerical simulation method. In addition, the utilisation of the proposed absorber as a sensor is also investigated. The dielectric and thickness sensing characteristics are analysed. The proposed multiband metamaterial absorber has the ability for utilising the terahertz region up to 2 THz. According to the results, it is found that the proposed absorber is capable of sensing unknown materials and material thickness with any of its five absorption bands. The sensitivity of the proposed sensor is 6.57 GHz / unit sensitivity for dielectric sensing and 7.66GHz/μm for thickness sensing.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 13Metal Mesh Filters Based on Ti, Ito and Cu Thin Films for Terahertz Waves(Springer Verlag, 2016) Demirhan, Yasemin; Alaboz, Hakan; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Nebioğlu, Mehmet Ali; Takan, Taylan; Altan, Hakan; Sabah, CumaliIn this study, we have investigated the spectral performance of resonant terahertz (THz) bandpass filters which were produced from thin films with a metal-mesh shape. The aforementioned filters were fabricated from titanium, copper and indium tin oxide thin films on fused silica substrates by UV lithography with an array of cross-shaped apertures. Since the mesh period, cross-arm length and its width specify the spectral characteristics of the filters, we were able to reveal the performance of these filters experimentally using both a THz time domain spectrometer and a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. A commercial electromagnetic simulation software, CST microwave studio, was used to verify the experimental data. The transmission of the filters are in the range 20–55 % at their relevant center frequencies. To our knowledge this study is the first to show that fabricated patterns based on ITO thin films can be used to filter THz radiation.
