    Laser Ablation Device with a Closed-Loop Control System
    (Optica Publishing Group, 2025) Beldek, Ulas; Erdogan, Kubra; Arpali, Caglar; Baykal, Yahya
    A laser ablation device with real-time beam power control is designed and implemented. This platform regulates the intensity of the laser beam by continuously measuring its intensity distribution. The quality of the ablation process is optimized through a closed-loop control system that uses a rule-based decision-making approach. The controller generates a starting signal for both the laser power and the motors based on the estimated quality of the ablation. The effects of laser power and light intensity on the formation of microchannels in polymethylmethacrylate material were investigated using the laser beam. The quality of the ablation geometry was assessed through image processing and inspection under a scanning electron microscope. The generated microchannels were analyzed in terms of roughness and residual thermal stress. A comparison of the experimental results with theoretical calculations and simulations revealed that the closed-loop control of laser beam power is effective for material etching and for creating smoother channel profiles.

    Intensity Fluctuations of Higher-Order Laser Modes in Jet Engine Exhaust Turbulence
    (Optica Publishing Group, 2025) Baykal, Yahya Kemal
    Intensity fluctuations quantified by the scintillation index are evaluated in jet engine exhaust turbulence when higher-order laser modes are used in optical wireless communication links. The jet engine exhaust turbulence power spectrum, modified by low-pass and high-pass filters, is employed. Intensity fluctuations are evaluated against the link length, structure constant, wave number (inverse of wavelength) (i.e., against turbulence strength), source size, and jet engine exhaust turbulence parameters. It is found that higher-order laser modes are better at mitigating the scintillations. Jet engine exhaust turbulence parameters are found to affect scintillations substantially.

    Propagation of Higher-Order Annular Gaussian Beams in Biological Tissues
    (Optica Publishing Group, 2025) Arpali, Serap Altay; Baykal, Yahya Kemal
    The propagation characteristics of a higher-order annular Gaussian (HOAG) beam in biological tissue turbulence are investigated. Average intensity at the receiver plane is found when the HOAG source field is used as excitation. The effects of the HOAG beam on different tissue types of the upper dermis (human), liver parenchyma (mouse), intestinal epithelium (mouse), and deep dermis (mouse) are studied. Variations of the average intensity versus the source and medium parameters such as the strength coefficient of the refractive-index fluctuations, propagation distance, wavelength, and beam size are presented. The results show that all modes of the HOAG beam can successively transmit beam energy at different levels of turbulence for all tissue types. At the same turbulence strength, HOAG beams having larger mode numbers transmit higher intensity to receivers than the modes with smaller mode orders, which is valid for all the examined tissue types. As the strength of tissue turbulence increases, the HOAG beam slowly turns into a pure Gaussian beam. For the different tissue types, the highest beam intensity at the receiver was observed for the deep dermis (mouse) tissue type. Despite the change in wavelength, refractive-index fluctuations, and source beam size, the highest beam transmission through the tissue in a turbulent environment was also observed for this same tissue type. This research may be useful in understanding the fundamentals of lighttissue interaction of HOAG laser beams, which may improve noninvasive disease detection and therapy methods through tissue in biophotonic technologies.

    Scintillations of Higher-Order Optical Beams in Biological Tissues
    (Optica Publishing Group, 2025) Baykal, Yahya; Gokce, Muhsin Caner; Ata, Yalcin; Gercekcioglu, Hamza
    The Scintillation index of a higher-order laser beam in turbulent biological tissue is formulated and evaluated. Behaviors of the scintillation indices of various higher-order beams against the tissue turbulence parameters of the strength coefficient of the refractive index fluctuations, fractal dimension, characteristic length of heterogeneity, small length-scale factor, and the source size, tissue length, and wavelength are examined. Fluctuations in the intensity are also investigated when various types of tissues, such as the intestinal epithelium (mouse), liver parenchyma (mouse), and upper dermis (human), are excited by different higher-order laser beams.

    Structure Functions for Optical Waves in a Complex Medium of Turbulent Biological Tissues
    (Optica Publishing Group, 2022) Ata, Yalcin; Baykal, Yahya; Gokce, Muhsin caner
    Although optical wave propagation is investigated based on the absorption and scattering in biological tissues, the turbulence effect can also not be overlooked. Here, the closed-form expressions of the wave structure func-tion (WSF) and phase structure function (PSF) of plane and spherical waves propagating in biological tissue are obtained to help with future research on imaging, intensity, and coherency in turbulent biological tissues. This paper presents the effect of turbulent biological tissue on optical wave propagation to give a perception of the per-formance of biomedical systems that use optical technologies. The behavior of optical waves in different types of turbulent biological tissues such as a liver parenchyma (mouse), an intestinal epithelium (mouse), a deep dermis (mouse), and an upper dermis (human) are investigated and compared. It is observed that turbulence becomes more effective with an increase in the characteristic length of heterogeneity, propagation distance, and the strength of the refractive index fluctuations. However, an increase in the fractal dimension, wavelength, and small length scale factor has a smaller turbulence effect on the propagating optical wave. We envision that our results may be used to interpret the performance of optical medical systems operating in turbulent biological tissues.(c) 2022 Optica Publishing Group

    Field Correlations of Multimode Optical Beams in Underwater Turbulence
    (Optica Publishing Group, 2024) Baykal, Yahya; Gokce, Muhsin C.; Ata, Yalcin; Gercekcioglu, Hamza
    For multimode optical beams, field correlations at the receiver plane are found in underwater turbulence. Field correlations of single high order beams in underwater turbulence are special cases of our formulation. Variations of field correlations against the underwater turbulence parameters and the diagonal length from various receiver points are examined for different multimode and single high order beams. Stronger underwater turbulence is found to reduce the field correlations of multimode and single high order optical beams. The results will be of help in heterodyne detection analysis and fiber coupling efficiency in an underwater medium experiencing turbulence. (c) 2024 Optica Publishing Group

    Correlations of Multimode Optical Incidences in a Turbulent Biological Tissue
    (Optica Publishing Group, 2023) Gokce, Muhsin Caner; Gerekcioglu, Hamza; Ata, Yalin; Baykal, Yahya; Gerçekcioğlu, Hamza
    In a turbulent biological tissue, field correlations at the observation plane are found when a multimode optical incidence is used. For different multimode structures, variations of the multimode field correlations are evaluated against the biological tissue turbulence parameters, i.e., the strength coefficient of the refractive-index fluctuations, fractal dimension, characteristic length of heterogeneity, and the small length-scale factor. Using a chosen multimode content, for specific biological tissue types of liver parenchyma (mouse), intestinal epithelium (mouse), upper dermis (human), and deep dermis (mouse), field correlations are evaluated versus the strength coefficient of the refractive-index fluctuations and small length-scale factor. Again, with a chosen multimode content, behavior of the field correlations is studied against the strength coefficient of the refractive-index fluctuations for various diagonal lengths and the transverse coordinate at the observation plane. Finally, the field correlation versus the strength coefficient of the refractive-index fluctuations is reported for different single modes, which are special cases of multimode excitation. This topic is being reported in the literature for the first time, to our knowledge, and the presented results can be employed in many important biological tissue applications.

    Performance of a Free-Space Optical Communication System Employing Receive Diversity Techniques in Anisotropic Atmospheric Non-Kolmogorov Turbulence
    (Optica Publishing Group, 2022) Gokce, Muhsin Caner; Ata, Yalcin; Baykal, Yahya
    In this paper, bit error rate (BER) performance of a free-space optical communication (FSOC) system operating in anisotropic non-Kolmogorov weak turbulence is investigated together with the spatial diversity techniques. The spatial diversity techniques are implemented as maximum ratio combining (MRC), equal gain combining (EGC), and selection combining (SC) and applied to the receiver. The propagating beam is the Gaussian beam wave, and the modulation scheme is binary phase-shift keying (BPSK). Results are obtained for various parameters such as the anisotropy factor, non-Kolmogorov power law exponent, photodetector responsivity, equivalent load resistor, electronic bandwidth, Gaussian beam radius, wavelength, propagation distance, and turbulence structure constant. It is found that the spatial diversity technique used at the receiver causes significant improvement in the performance of an FSOC system under the conditions of anisotropic non-Kolmogorov atmospheric turbulence. It is also observed that BER performance improves as the atmospheric turbulence becomes more anisotropic. Among the spatial diversity techniques, SC is inferior to EGC and EGC is inferior toMRC in terms of BER performance. (C) 2022 Optica Publishing Group

    Field Correlations of Partially Coherent Optical Beams in Underwater Turbulence
    (Optica Publishing Group, 2022) Baykal, Yahya; Gercekcioglu, Hamza
    Field correlations of partially coherent optical beams at the receiver plane are formulated and evaluated in underwater turbulence. Variations of the field correlations are examined against changes in the degree of source coherence, diagonal length from the receiver point, receiver point, propagation distance, source size, ratio of temperature to salinity contributions to the refractive index spectrum, rate of dissipation of mean-squared temperature, and rate of dissipation of kinetic energy per unit mass of fluid. Under any underwater turbulence and link conditions, it is found that field correlations at the receiver plane reduce when the optical source becomes less coherent. (c) 2022 Optica Publishing Group

    Field Correlations of a Partially Coherent Optical Gaussian Wave in Tissue Turbulence
    (Optica Publishing Group, 2022) Baykal, Yahya
    For a partially coherent Gaussian optical wave, field correlations in turbulent tissues are examined. Changes in the field correlations are evaluated when the degree of source coherence, diagonal length from the receiver point, transverse receiver coordinate, tissue type, tissue length, source size, characteristic length of heterogeneity, strength coefficient of the refractive-index fluctuations, fractal dimension, and the small length-scale factor of the turbulent tissue vary. Investigated turbulent tissue types are liver parenchyma (mouse), upper dermis (human), intestinal epithelium (mouse), and deep dermis (mouse). For all the examined tissue types, field correlations are found to increase as the degree of source coherence, fractal dimension, and small length-scale factor increase and as the diagonal length from the receiver point, transverse receiver coordinate, tissue length, characteristic length of heterogeneity, and strength coefficient of the refractive-index fluctuations decrease. For the coherent source, an increase in the source size will increase the field correlations; however, for the partially coherent source, this trend is reversed. (c) 2022 Optica Publishing Group
