When a light beam travels through a highly scattering medium, two-dimensional random intensity distributions (speckle patterns) are formed due to the complex scattering within the medium. Although they contain valuable information about the input signal and the characteristics of the propagation medium, the speckle patterns are difficult to unscramble, which makes imaging through scattering media an extremely challenging task. Multimode fibers behave similarly to scattering media since they scramble the input information through modal dispersion and create speckle patterns at the distal end. Because multimode fibers are compact and low-cost structures with the ability to transmit large amounts of data simultaneously for long distances, decoding the speckle patterns formed by a multimode fiber and reconstructing the input information has great implications in a wide range of applications, including fiber optic communication, sensor technology, optical imaging, and invasive biomedical applications such as endoscopy. In this thesis, we decode the speckle patterns and reconstruct the input information on the proximal end of a multimode fiber in three different scenarios. Our choice of input signals consists of numbers encoded as binary digits, handwritten letters, and optical frequencies. We train a deep learning model to classify and reconstruct the handwritten letters, while for the rest of the cases, we construct a transmission matrix between the input signals and the output speckle patterns, and solve the inverse propagation equation algebraically. In all cases, the relation between a speckle pattern and the corresponding input signal is learned with low error rates; thus, the signals are classified and reconstructed successfully using the speckle patterns they created. Classifying digits, letters, or images with speckle information aims to build useful systems in optical imaging, communication, and cryptography, while the classification of optical frequencies paves the way for building novel spectrometers. In addition to replicating the currently existing compact, low-budget, and high-resolution multimode fiber spectrometer, we also build a single-pixel fiber spectrometer in order to increase the compactness on the detection side and expand the application areas of the system. The single-pixel spectrometer we offer is based on the integrated intensity measurements of a fixed target region, where the light is focused by shaping the wavefront with a spatial light modulator. Spatial light modulators and wavefront shaping techniques are also utilized in other classification tasks in this thesis to generate the desired input signals.

Nonlinear optical properties of a Woods-Saxon quantum dot under an electric field
AYTEKİN, ÖZLEM; Turgut, Sadi; Unal, V. Ustoglu; Aksahin, E.; Tomak, Mehmet (Elsevier BV, 2013-12-01)
A theoretical study of the effect of the confining potential on the nonlinear optical properties of two dimensional quantum dots is performed. A three-parameter Woods-Saxon potential is used within the density matrix formalism. The control of confinement by three parameters and an applied electric field gives one quite an advantage in studying their effects on the nonlinear properties. The coefficients investigated include the optical rectification, second and third-harmonic generation and the change in the...
Broadband Spectral Splitting of Light Using a Spatial Light Modulator
Gün, Berk Nezir; Yüce, Emre (2019-09-04)
Diffraction arises whenever the wavelength of light and dimensions of a medium show congruence in size. To control diffraction, one can arrange the thickness of the medium considering theoretical calculations or refractive index of the medium. Spatial Light Modulators (SLM) provide the means to control the refractive index of a liquid crystal media. The liquid crystal displays (LCD) in SLM have birefringence property that can alter the time inside the device to get constructive or destructive interferen...
Optical constants of Tl4Ga3InSe8 layered single crystals
Goksen, K.; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Elsevier BV, 2007-11-15)
The optical properties of Tl(4)Ga(3)lnSe(8) layered single crystals have been studied by means of transmission and reflection measurements in the wavelength range of 500-1100 run. The analysis of the room temperature absorption data revealed the presence of both optical indirect and direct transitions with band gap energies of 1.94 and 2.20 eV, respectively. Transmission measurements carried out in the temperature range of 10-300 K revealed that the rate of change of the indirect band gap with temperature i...
Broadband Spectral Splitting of Light Using Wavefront Shaping
Gün, Berk Nezir; Yüce, Emre (2018-09-12)
When the dimensions of a medium are comparable to wavelength of light, diffraction plays a major role in wave propagation and it differs by wavelength. Thus, it is possible to obtain intended phase difference for each frequency by changing the thickness or refractive index of the medium [1]. As a result, waves at a specific frequency can be controlled to constructively interfere at a desired point. Liquid crystal displays, which enable to control refractive indices of each pixels via modulating the ampl...
Optical properties of TlGaxIn1-xS2 layered mixed crystals (0 <= x <= 1) I. Composition- and temperature-tuned energy band gap
Hasanlı, Nızamı (2010-05-28)
Optical properties of the TlGaxIn1-xS2 mixed crystals (0 <= x <= 1) have been studied by means of transmission and reflection measurements in the wavelength range of 400-1100 nm. The optical indirect band gap energies were determined through the analysis of the absorption data. It was found that the energy band gaps increase with increasing of gallium atoms content in the TlGaxIn1-xS2 mixed crystals. From the transmission measurements carried out in the temperature range of 10-300K, the rates of change of t...
