In this paper, we describe in detail the optical design of DAG, a new 4 m telescope for Turkey. DAG is an ”adaptive optics friendly” telescope, in a sense that each design decision is taken considering the potential impact on the AO performance (vibrations, static aberrations etc.) The objective is to make this telescope fully ready for AO at first light. It is designed as a Ritchey-Chr´etien combination, 56 m focal length, with Nasmyth foci only, and active optics. Its total RMS error is expected to be 45 nm up to Zernike mode 78, and 26 nm for the higher, non AO corrected modes. A final design optimization has been done by the telescope manufacturers, demonstrating that our AO-based requirements can be satisfied, without much difficulty.

Design of a derotator for the 4 in DAG telescope Baudet, Jeremie; Jolissaint, Laurent; KESKİN, ONUR; YEŞİLYAPRAK, Cahit; Yerli, Sinan Kaan (2016-06-30) This paper Silt our work on the design of a field derotator for the adaptive optics instruments platform of DAG (Dogu Anadolu Cozier vi), a new 4 in telescope for astronomical observations near the city of krzurum, l'urkey. While the telescopefollows an astronomical object, its pupil sees a rotation of the object around the optical axis which depends n the telescope geographic coordinate and the object sky coordinate. This effect is called the field rotation. This rotation needs to be compensated during the...
Fundamentals of a metal surface imaging system based on laser-optic principles Bektaş, Murat; Altan, Hakan; Department of Physics (2009) The confocal laser-scanning microscope (CLSM), known simply as a confocal microscope, is an important instrument which allows us to observe an object or a surface in three-dimensions with confocal microcopy technique. The basic difference of confocal microscopy is detecting the in- focused light, while the out of focus light is blocked out by the help of a pinhole. By this optical dissection ability of confocal microcopy, CLSM provides the images of investigated object or the surface with higher resolution ...
A Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector for the DAG Telescope GÜVER, Tolga; Mazin, Benjamin A.; O'Brien, Kieran; Kay, Burak; Alis, Sinan; Yelkenci, F. Korhan; YEŞİLYAPRAK, Cahit; Yerli, Sinan Kaan; Erol, Ayse; KESKİN, ONUR (2016-06-29) We present the details of a proposed microwave kinetic inductance detector (MKID) for the DAG (Eastern Anatolia Observatory in Turkish) telescope, DAG-MKID. The observatory will have a modern 4m size telescope that is currently under construction. Current plan to obtain the first light with the telescope is late 2019. The proposed MKID based instrument will enable astronomers to simultaneously detect photons in the relatively wide wavelength range of 4000 - 13500 ˚A with a timing accuracy of µs and spectral...
Design and analysis of ultrashort femtosecond laser amplifiers Doğan, Ersin; Bilikmen, Kadri Sinan; Department of Physics (2006) This thesis presents a compact femtosecond laser amplifier design for optical preamplifiers and power amplifiers consist of theoretical perspective, simulations to analyze and optimize beam performance. The propagation through optical media is simulated for every optical component such as mirrors and nonlinear crystal separately and suggested realignment of these components required increasing amplifier performance. Finally Gaussian beam propagation and aberration compensation has been conducted.
Development of a compact time-domain terahertz spectrometer using photoconductive antenna detection method Güngör Erözbek, Ümmügül; Altan, Hakan; Department of Physics (2009) In this thesis, we describe the development of a time-domain terahertz (THz) spectrometer driven by two different laser sources: an Er-doped femtosecond fiber laser and a mode-locked Ti:Sapphire laser. The resulting THz electromagnetic radiation was generated and detected using photoconductive antenna detection methods in both systems. In these experiments we characterized the THz power output for both the fiber laser driven system and the Ti:Sapphire laser driven system. Emphasis is given throughout this t...
