    Investigating the Experimental Limits of the Brewster’s Angle Method
    (Türkiye Klinikleri Journal of Medical Sciences, 2018) Sümer, Can; Kuştepeli, Alp; Dinleyici, Mehmet Salih
    We present the method, analysis, and experimental results of the Brewster’s angle method commonly used for determining the refractive indices of optical films. We show the significance of the intersection of reflectance curves, in that the necessity for substrate refractive index and film layer thickness knowledge are both eliminated. We present the conditions for the existence of the second intersection of reflectance curves and introduce a method for determining the refractive index of the substrate layer by using the angular information alone. Analytical results reveal impressive practical sensitivity and accuracy limits for the method, where the experimental results also support the theoretical analysis.

    A Fiber-Integrated Optical Component Fabricated Via Photopolymerization: Mode-Selective Grating Coupler
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2013) Sümer, Can; Dinleyici, Mehmet Salih
    We demonstrate a mode-selective directional coupler based on a grating structure, which is fabricated by laser direct-writing on a photopolymer thin film. The device is implemented on the flat planar surface of the D-Fiber, enabling fiber integration, where an Acrylamide/Polyvinyl Alcohol based photopolymer material is used in the fabrication of the device. While the refractive index modulation properties of the polymer material are well known, surface relief and corrugation properties due to photopolymerization are investigated in this study. Theoretical model of the device is presented together with the optimization and simulation results of the final device; experimental results have been found to be in good agreement with simulations.

    Characterization and Estimation of Refractive Index Profile of Laser-Written Photopolymer Optical Waveguides
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2011) Dinleyici, Mehmet Salih; Sümer, Can
    In this study, channel waveguides fabricated in photopolymer films by direct-writing using a low-power CW laser, are used as phase objects in a simple plane-wave diffraction setup, and the refractive index modulation profiles of the waveguides are characterized using the recorded diffraction patterns. Index profiles are modeled by piece-wisely combining two Gaussian functions representing the central and the tail regions. Measured diffraction patterns are matched with patterns generated using the model. This simple model makes it possible to design various channel waveguides embedded into polymer substrates. The proposed model is tested on three distinctive waveguide profiles written on the same Acrylamide/Polyvinyl Alcohol based photopolymer with different exposures.
