    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; Dinleyici, Mehmet Salih; 03.05. Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    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.
