Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Investigating the Experimental Limits of the Brewster’s Angle Method(Türkiye Klinikleri Journal of Medical Sciences, 2018) Sümer, Can; Kuştepeli, Alp; Dinleyici, Mehmet SalihWe 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.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Demonstration of Pulse Controlled All-Optical Switch/Modulator(The Optical Society, 2014) Akın, Osman; Dinleyici, Mehmet SalihAn all-optical pulse controlled switch/modulator based on evanescent coupling between a polymer slab waveguide and a single mode fiber is demonstrated. Very fast all-optical modulation/switching is achieved via Kerr effect of the nonlinear polymer placed in the evanescent region of the optical fiber. Local refractive index perturbation (δn = -1.45612 × 10 -5) on the thin film leads to 0.374 nW power modulation at the fiber output, which results in a switching efficiency of ≈1.5%.
