Article Comparative Analysis of Modulation Shapes on Laser Diode Performance with a High-Efficiency LLC Resonant Converter Driver(Wiley, 2026-02-06) Yigit, Hayri; Rifat boynuegri, Ali; Tekgun, Burak; Rifat Boynuegri, AliHigh-power laser diodes (LDs) are key components in laser-based wireless power transfer (WPT) systems, where end-to-end efficiency is one of the most critical performance metrics. This study investigates the driving performance of an LD powered by a high-efficiency LLC resonant converter under three distinct excitation waveforms-sinusoidal, triangular, and rectified-sine-using a MATLAB/SIMULINK model and an experimental setup designed to reproduce real-world operating conditions. Each waveform is synthesized through frequency modulation of a full-bridge inverter stage and filtered at the output. The analysis examines the impact of modulation shape on output current ripple, converter efficiency, and overall LD efficiency. Experimental validation confirms the simulation trends, underscoring the trade-offs between waveform smoothness, implementation complexity, and efficiency. Beyond confirming that constant-current operation yields the highest LD efficiency, this study explicitly quantifies how low-frequency current ripple induced by different modulation waveforms propagates through the LLC resonant converter, alters RMS current stress, and translates into measurable efficiency degradation at both the driver and LD levels. By experimentally correlating waveform symmetry, ripple magnitude, and loss mechanisms, the work establishes practical design boundaries for waveform-modulated laser drivers in WPT systems.Article Development and Radiation Test of a Secondary Emission Ionization Calorimetry Module(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2025-06) Paran, Nejdet; Tiras, Emrah; Tekgun, Burak; Abubakar, SalehThe demand for precise, robust, and reliable radiation-resistant particle detectors and ionization calorimeters intensifies due to the escalating luminosity and unprecedented radiation conditions at particle colliders and accelerators. Secondary Emission (SE) Ionization Calorimetry is a novel technology designed to measure the energy of electromagnetic and hadronic particles, particularly in extreme radiation conditions. In this study, we have tested and investigated the development and radiation tests of the novel SE modules. The modules were developed by modifying the conventional Hamamatsu single-anode R7761 Photomultiplier Tubes (PMTs). Three different voltage conditions for the same module were created and the new modules were tested using cosmic and gamma radiation sources, Co-60. The results show that all three modes have good sensitivity to electromagnetic showers, and they are suitable for harsh radiation environments. This study also indicates that the SE module is a promising technology shedding light on future radiation-resistant nuclear and high-energy detectors. Here, we discuss the technical design, test characteristics, and cosmic and particle interaction results of the newly developed SE modules.
