Image transmission through a multi-mode fiber is a difficult task given the complex interference of light through the fiber that leads to random speckle patterns at the distal end of the fiber. With traditional methods and techniques, it is impractical to reconstruct a high-resolution input image by using the information obtained from the intensity of the corresponding output speckle alone. In this work, we train three Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) with input-output couples of a multi-mode fiber and test the learning with images outside the learning set. The three implemented deep learning models have modern UNet, ResNet and VGGNet architectures and are trained with 31,200 grey-scale handwritten letters of the Latin alphabet. After the training, 5,200 images outside the learning set are used for testing and it was shown that the models successfully reconstruct the input images from the output random speckle patterns with average fidelities ranging from 81% to 90%. Our results show the superiority of the ResNet based architecture over UNet and VGGNet in reconstruction accuracy, achieving up to 97% fidelity in a short amount of time. This can be attributed to the success of the ResNet architecture in learning non-linear systems compared to its counterparts. We believe that the implementation of machine learning techniques to imaging, along with its contributions to biophysics, can reshape the telecommunication industry and thus will be a cornerstone in future optics and photonics studies.

Deep Learning-Based Fiber Bending Recognition for Sensor Applications
Bender, Deniz; Cakir, Ugur; Yüce, Emre (2023-01-01)
The sensitivity of multimode fibers (MMFs) to mechanical deformations has led to their widespread use in various fields, such as structural monitoring and healthcare. However, traditional optical fiber sensing techniques often involve complex equipment and analysis procedures. In this work, we demonstrate the use of Deep Learning (DL) to accurately detect both the curvature and location of a bent MMF under external force. The DL model is trained using intensity-only speckle images as input, which correspond...
Deep Learning-Based Hybrid Approach for Phase Retrieval
IŞIL, ÇAĞATAY; Öktem, Sevinç Figen; KOÇ, AYKUT (2019-06-24)
We develop a phase retrieval algorithm that utilizes the hybrid-input-output (HIO) algorithm with a deep neural network (DNN). The DNN architecture, which is trained to remove the artifacts of HIO, is used iteratively with HIO to improve the reconstructions. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach with little additional cost.
User association and routing in UAV-supported HetNets
Tezergil, Berke; Onur, Ertan; Department of Computer Engineering (2022-1-24)
With the introduction of millimeter waves in 5G, using wireless backhaul has become feasible with higher performance comparable to that of fiber cables. Using unmanned aerial vehicles as small cells enabled many use-cases by reducing the average link length and increasing the line-of-sight probability. In this work, a heterogeneous network with users, flying small cells on unmanned aerial vehicles, and macro base stations are considered. We introduce two main problems: establishing backhaul routes for small...
Asymptotic solution of the radial wave equation for optical fiber wavequides
Cildlr, Sema; Çakır, Serhat (2006-08-26)
In this study, analytic solutions were studied for propagation of electromagnetic waves in cylindrical fiber optic cable. An asymptotic approach was used to solve radial wave equation The solution was derived for zero order eigenvalue equation. It was found that this solution is more general than other methods. By using a computer program was obtained some diagrams for core and cladding region for different eigenvalue equations and modes.
Fiber loop ring down spectrometer optical based sensor for trace chemical detection

Fiber loop ring down (FLRD) is a time domain multi-functional sensing, characterization, detection technique. FLRD technique is used to sense temperature, pressure, strain, biological cells, refractive index, and chemical species. FLRD has high accuracy, high selectivity, ability of remote control and rapid response. In this project, two FLRD spectrometers working at 800 nm (figure 1) and 1535 nm (figure 2) were set up for sensing different chemical analytes like C2H2, CO2, Ar, N2, DMSO, DMF, H2O, C2H6O, C3...
