    Practical and Cost-Effective Approach for Thermal Light Characterization Based on Confined Area Measurements
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Atac, Enes; Dinleyici, Mehmet Salih
    Photon statistics and optical coherence measurements are essential in understanding light sources' properties and behaviors. However, the measurement setups require sophisticated detectors with short integration times. Otherwise, the results are indeed time average, which poses a significant challenge, particularly for thermal light sources due to their very short coherence times. In this article, we present a novel, practical, and low-cost measurement procedure for characterizing photon statistics and the second-order coherence function of thermal light using an ordinary charge-coupled device (CCD) camera. We focus on single-pixel analysis through the experiments since measurements of randomly distributed light in a confined region follow Bose-Einstein statistics. This way, the likelihood of averaging during detection is reduced, allowing us to extract statistical information from the spatially distributed intensity values. The outcomes prove the effectiveness of confined area measurements method by overcoming the detector's long exposure time issue.

    Görgül kip ayrıştırması kullanılarak optik faz kırınımında hassasiyet iyileştirilmesi
    (IEEE, 2023) Ataç, Enes; Dinleyici, Mehmet Salih
    Phase diffraction is a potent property used in transparent dielectric film characterization. The measured diffraction pattern on the camera is evaluated by matching numerically computed diffraction patterns to determine the optical properties of the ultra-thin films (refractive index, thickness, etc.). However, the obtained diffraction data is not only a nonlinear and non-stationary signal but also exhibits micron-scale variations, thus limiting the measurement accuracy. Therefore, it is challenging to identify shifts in minima and deviations in amplitude on diffraction data to extract information about the optical properties of phase objects. In this study, it is aimed to improve the thickness sensitivity of the system by applying Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) to plane wave-based near-field phase diffraction data. Since EMD is very sensitive to abrupt changes in the signal due to the spatial frequency components, the nanoscale variations in the film thickness become more observable and detectable. Experimental outputs and numerical simulations show that the decomposition increases the thickness sensitivity comparing the classical matching technique.

    Enhancing Thickness Determination of Nanoscale Dielectric Films in Phase Diffraction-Based Optical Characterization Systems With Radial Basis Function Neural Networks
    (IOP Publishing, 2023) Ataç, Enes; Karatay, Anıl; Dinleyici, Mehmet Salih
    Accurate determination of the optical properties of ultra-thin dielectric films is an essential and challenging task in optical fiber sensor systems. However, nanoscale thickness identification of these films may be laborious due to insufficient and protracted classical curve matching algorithms. Therefore, this experimental study presents an application of a radial basis function neural network in phase diffraction-based optical characterization systems to determine the thickness of nanoscale polymer films. The non-stationary measurement data with environmental and detector noise were subjected to a detailed analysis. The outcomes of this investigation are benchmarked against the linear discriminant analysis method and further verified by means of scanning electron microscopy. The results show that the neural network has reached a remarkable accuracy of 98% and 82.5%, respectively, in tests with simulation and experimental data. In this way, rapid and precise thickness estimation may be realized within the tolerance range of 25 nm, offering a significant improvement over conventional measurement techniques.

    Experimental Demonstration of a Transient Grating Controlled All-Optical Switch
    (IOP Publishing, 2023) Akın, Osman; Dinleyici, Mehmet Salih
    We demonstrate an on-fiber all-optical switching device based on a transient grating formed by the interference of control laser pulses in a Kerr-type nonlinear material placed in the evanescent region of the fiber. The device can operate in two distinctive modes. First, switching/coupling among the fiber modes using bulk index modulation was investigated and an efficiency of about %0.55 @852 nm was measured. Second, by exploiting Four Wave Mixing (FWM), an all-optical switching that transfers power among light signals with wavelengths of λ 1 = 440 nm and λ 2 = 663 nm was achieved by quasi-phase-matching and fRequency matching in a nonlinear thin polymeric film. The results prove that the introduced switching structure may have the potential to be used in integrated photonic applications such as intensity modulators or controllable couplers.

    Graded-Index Optical Fiber Transverse-Spatial Entanglement
    (American Physical Society, 2020) Ekici, Çağın; Dinleyici, Mehmet Salih
    We present a study of spontaneously arisen spatially entangled photon pairs via intermodal four-wave mixing in a graded-index multimode optical fiber. Unique dispersive features of the fiber allow spectral indistinguishability of two different phase-matched processes, producing entangled pairs of spatial qubits. The bases are realized as superpositions of orthogonal transverse fiber modes having opposite parities. In particular, we take into consideration the spectral properties of the processes by examining their joint spectral amplitudes. It is shown that illuminating graded-index optical fiber with different pump wavelengths has an impact upon efficiency parameters accordingly the degree of spatial entanglement and gives rise to photon pairs with various spectral purities. Photons with higher spectral purity enable desired single-photon based interactions to take place, whereas photons with lower spectral purity exhibit hybrid entanglement in frequency and transverse mode. We also discuss Wigner function formalism and parity-displacement-based realization to characterize spatial properties of the states, as well as to verify quantum entanglement through a violation of Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality.

    Nanoscale Curved Dielectric Film Characterization Beyond Diffraction Limits Using Spatially Structured Illumination
    (Academic Press, 2020) Ataç, Enes; Dinleyici, Mehmet Salih
    Optical fiber based sensor systems often utilize thin dielectric films coated on non-planar surfaces are needed to be inspected for quality assurance. However, non-destructive optical characterization of these films is not a simple method especially on curved large surfaces. In this study, we propose a real time procedure to estimate the optical properties of sub-wavelength transparent dielectric films coated on optical fibers. The paper includes developing a mathematical model and its experimental verification. The near field phase diffraction method is combined with the structured light illumination that is spatial modes of optical fibers to estimate the thickness of the phase object beyond the classical diffraction limits. Numerical simulations and experimental results show that the film thickness can safely be characterized up to one tenth of wavelength of interest via selective spatial field distribution determined according to the morphology of the thin film. The outcomes have good agreements with destructive Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) measurements. © 2020 Elsevier Inc.

    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2002) Dinleyici, Mehmet Salih
    Since all optical switching is a key element for all kinds of optical networks, great amount of works have been dedicated either for material researches or various waveguide structures. Generally speaking the switching time of devices based on photorefractive effect are rather slow for today's high capacity optical fiber networks. In the field of waveguide architecture various geometries have been proposed and investigated for grating assisted or guided optical coupling for the purpose of designing all-optical switch, adddrop multiplexers, filters etc.

    Düşük Maliyetli Serbest-uzay Optik İletişim Sistemi Tasarımı
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2004) Karatay, Okan; Dinleyici, Mehmet Salih
    hi recent years commercial and military interest in free-space optical communication (FSO) is growing due to the high bandwidths, portability and high security. Although the numerous advantages, atmospheric events such as attenuation and scintillation severely effects the link quality. Novel methods of mitigating atmospheric events were applied. Usage of large aperture lenses and high transmitted power according to decrease scintillation effects increases the system cost. Fresnel lenses, as an alternative to the classical optic system for mitigating scintillation effects would be a low-cost solution. As a result of the technological improvements on the output power and divergence angles of VSCEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) enables high-speed cost effective FSO communication system design. In this research current applied FSO systems are analysed and fresnel lens optical system of alternative low-cost system designed.

    Index Modulation of Transient Grating in Nonlinear Medium
    (SPIE, 2016) Karakılınç, Özgür Önder; Dinleyici, Mehmet Salih
    A transient chirped grating structure is formed by beam interferences in nonlinear photonic crystal waveguide. Pulse propagation in nonlinear transient grating media is investigated and its impact on the transmission dynamics is explored. The grating may not be stationary propagating but anharmonically oscillating. Thus, effective modification of the refractive index needs to be evaluated in detail.
