Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Subwavelength Thickness Characterization of Curved Dielectric Films Exploiting Spatially Structured Entangled Photons(Optica Publishing Group, 2023) Ataç, Enes; Dinleyici, Mehmet SalihPrecise determination of thin dielectric film optical properties is a critical issue for fiber optic sensor technologies. However, conventional methods for the optical characterization of these films not only are generally complex and tedious processes on curved surfaces but also require well-calibrated and overly sophisticated devices. We, on the other hand, propose a novel and practical quantum-based phase diffraction scheme to characterize the thickness of ultra-thin transparent dielectric films coated on an optical fiber beyond the classical diffraction limits in this paper. The approach is implemented by evaluating the effect of thickness variations on the highly visible two-photon diffraction pattern's zero crossings and amplitudes. The mathematical model and numerical simulations con-tribute to a better understanding of how the spatially structured entangled photons improve thickness precision with the help of intensity correlations and a confocal aperture. To prove the impact of the proposed system, it is compared with the classical phase diffraction method in the literature via simulations. According to the results, the thickness of the transparent dielectric films can be accurately estimated below one-twentieth of the wavelength of interest. & COPY; 2023 Optica Publishing GroupArticle Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 8Investigation of the Structural and Optical Properties of Copper-Titanium Oxide Thin Films Produced by Changing the Amount of Copper(Elsevier Ltd., 2019) Horzum, Şeyda; Gürakar, Sibel; Serin, TülayWe examine how the structural, morphological and optical properties of TiO2 thin films are changed with heavily copper (Cu) content. Variations in characteristic properties of the films with 0, 12.5, 25 and 50 wt% Cu contents, grown by sol-gel dip coating method, are observed by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman scattering, atomic force microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis and optical spectroscopy measurements. The XRD and Raman spectra indicate that pure TiO2 film forms in the anatase structure. At high Cu concentrations, XRD results also reveal the substitution of Ti with Cu and formation of extra compound Copper-Titanium oxide. Raman measurements also show that Cu is incorporated homogeneously into TiO2 matrix up to 12.5 wt% concentration and this uniformity is distorted at higher Cu contents. In addition, optical spectroscopy measurements show that the optical band gap energy decreases from 3.26 eV to 2.05 eV with increasing Cu concentration. Furthermore, it is observed that the refractive index values obtained by means of transmittance spectra at 550 nm wavelength; increases from 2.47 to 3.39 when the Cu concentration increases from 0 to 50 wt %.
