Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 1Toward Sustainable Optoelectronics: Solution-Processed Quantum Dot Photodetector Fabrication Using a Surgical Blade(SPIE - Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2023-02-13) Savas, Muzeyyen; Yazici, Ahmet Faruk; Arslan, Aysenur; Mutluguen, Evren; Erdem, Talha; Yazlcl, Ahmet Faruk; Mutlugün, EvrenFabrication of optoelectronic devices relies on expensive, energy-consuming conventional tools including chemical vapor deposition, lithography, and metal evaporation. Furthermore, the films used in these devices are usually deposited at elevated temperatures (> 300 degrees C) and under high vacuum, which necessitate further restrictions on the device fabrication. Developing an alternative technology would contribute to the efforts on achieving a sustainable optoelectronics technology. Keeping this in our focus, here we present a simple technique to fabricate visible photodetectors (PDs). These fully solution-processed and transparent metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) PDs employ silver nanowires (Ag NW) as the transparent electrodes replacing the indium-tin-oxide (ITO) commonly used in optoelectronic devices. By repeatedly spin coating Ag NWs on a glass substrate followed by the coating of zinc oxide nanoparticles, we obtained a highly conductive transparent electrode reaching a sheet resistance of 95 omega/? as measured by the four-probe method. Optical spectroscopy revealed that the transmittance of the Ag NW-ZnO films was 84% at 450 nm while the transmittance of the ITO films was 90% at the same wavelength. Following the formation of the conductive film, we scratched it using a heated surgical blade to open a gap. The scanning electron microscope images indicate that a gap of similar to 30 mu m is opened forming an insulating line. As the active layer, we drop-casted red-emitting CdSe/ZnS core-shell quantum dots (QDs) onto this gap to form a MSM PD. These visible QD-based PDs exhibited responsivities and detectivities up to 8.5 mA/W and 0.95 x 109 Jones, respectively at a bias voltage of 5 V and wavelength of 650 nm. These proof-of-concept PDs show that the environmentally friendly, low-cost, and energy-saving technique presented here can be an alternative to conventional, high-cost, and energy-hungry techniques while fabricating photoconductive devices.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 1Shell-Shaped Active Layers for Omnidirectional Organic Photovoltaic Cells(SPIE - Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2022-10-27) Hah, DooyoungFor the employment of organic photovoltaic cells in wearable electronic systems, improvements in energy conversion efficiency and omnidirectionality (angular coverage) are highly appreciated. This study aims at those improvements by introducing shell-shaped active layers. The proposed device structures enhance light absorption and angular range through light coupling to guided modes in the active layer. Two shapes, i.e., a triangle and a semicircle, are examined for the shell cross-sections. Numerical simulation using finite-element analysis and finite-difference time-domain methods demonstrates that the devices with the triangular-shell-shaped active layers exhibit an average absorption enhancement of up to 63% for transverse electric (TE)-polarization and up to 32% for transverse magnetic (TM)-polarization when compared with the flat active layers of the same thicknesses. The average enhancements of the semicircular-shell-shaped active layers are found to be slightly lower than those values, with 60% for TE and 28% for TM. The examined structures also show good omnidirectionality with decent absorption up to an 81 deg incidence angle for the triangular-shell-shaped device and up to a 76 deg angle for the semicircular one when TM polarization is considered. These absorption enhancements and improved angular coverages make the proposed structures highly attractive for wearable electronic system applications.

We present a method to measure surface depth profile using laser scattering geometry.

However, one of the natural challenges is the dense fog that appears in forests, which decreases the detection accuracy or triggers false alarms. In this study, we propose a system with a deep neural network-based image preprocessing approach that significantly improves the smoke segmentation and classification performance by dehazing the camera view. Our experimental results provide that the classification models reach 99% F1 score for the correct classification of smoke when the image dehazing method is used before the training process. The smoke localization system achieves 60% average precision when the mask region-based convolutional neural network is used with the ResNet101-FPN backbone. The proposed approach can be utilized for all smoke segmentation frameworks to increase fire detection performance. (c) 2022 SPIE and IS&T
