Article 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 SalihAccurate 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.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: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Experimental Demonstration of a Transient Grating Controlled All-Optical Switch(IOP Publishing, 2023) Akın, Osman; Dinleyici, Mehmet SalihWe 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.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Nanoscale Curved Dielectric Film Characterization Beyond Diffraction Limits Using Spatially Structured Illumination(Academic Press, 2020) Ataç, Enes; Dinleyici, Mehmet SalihOptical 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.Conference Object All-Optical Switching Based on Grating Written Photorefractive Slab/Fiber Waveguide Coupler(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2002) Dinleyici, Mehmet SalihSince 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.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 13-D Switching Fabric Node Design(ACTA Press, 2004) Dinleyici, Mehmet Salih; Akın, OsmanIn this work we investigate an all-optical switching node that can be controlled by means of a transient grating, which is formed by interference of two Gaussian beams. This design considers 3-D architecture of switching fabrics.. real profile of Gaussian beams and fast switching time requirements. Four Wave Mixing (FWM) technique is applied in the evanescent field region of waveguide, showing chi((3)) nonlinearity. The formed grating is analysed by standart methods to obtain reflection coefficient and then coupling coefficient for power exchange between waveguides.Conference Object Index Modulation of Transient Grating in Nonlinear Medium(SPIE, 2016) Karakılınç, Özgür Önder; Dinleyici, Mehmet SalihA 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.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%.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 7A Practical Approach for Optical Characterization of a Film Coated on the Optical Fiber(Academic Press Inc., 2017) Ekici, Çağın; Dinleyici, Mehmet SalihPhase Diffraction (PD) Phase Diffraction. which is a result of the interaction of light waves with a transparent object, is exploited to characterize precisely optical properties of dielectric films coated on the optical fiber without harming any feature of the sample. Typical fiber sensor applications require films coated on the side surface of the optical fiber and optical properties of that curved films are crucial for design purposes. In this study, three Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) films are prepared, their thicknesses are estimated based on the phase diffraction method by fitting experimental results with a mathematical model within 2.3% error. The outcomes of this practical method show good agreement with findings of the destructive Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) measurements. The method has the potential to allow real time monitoring abrupt changes of surrounding medium's properties and to examine coating quality (i.e. thickness uniformity) of the film.
