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 Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1RF Phase Noise Filtering Properties of an Actively Mode-Locked Laser(Wiley, 2018-01-10) Mbonde, Hamidu; Ozharar, Sarper; Ozdur, IbrahimIn this article, we are presenting the experimental results and theoretical analysis of radio frequency (RF) phase noise filtering properties of a high Q cavity actively driven mode-locked laser. The experimental results show that, the phase noise of a 10 GHz RF tone can be filtered by at least 10 dB at 200 kHz offset frequency. A theoretical analysis on the limits of phase noise filtering due to the spontaneous emission and the frequency mismatch between the laser cavity modes and the synthesizer frequency is also included.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5Predicting Potential of Pressure Retarded Osmosis Power for Different Estuaries in Turkey(Wiley, 2018-11-29) Saki, Seda; Uzal, Nigmet; Gokcek, Murat; Ates, NurayPressure retarded osmosis (PRO) is an alternative renewable energy source recovered from the salinity gradient between the fresh water (feed solution) and salty water (draw solution). In order to implement osmotic power, the site-specific characteristics including the river and sea salinity, annual flow rates, ecological restrictions were taken into account. This study revealed a comprehensive analysis for a theoretical potential of PRO process for different estuaries in Turkey. In this study, the power potential prediction of PRO process for the Ceyhan, Sakarya, and Meric Rivers were analyzed via Gibbs free energy calculations. The net annual energy production is projected to be 167, 164, and 208 GWh/y for Ceyhan, Sakarya, and Meric Rivers, respectively. Meric River has the highest energy production of 208 GWh/yr with 186 m(3)/s mean flow rate and 245 mg/L salinity. These results clearly show that Turkey's rivers having high salinity and flow rate are feasible and applicable for making the osmotic power plant economically. Thereby, it is providing essential direction to the improvement of its design, installation, and operation. The developed methodology for the evaluation of the osmotic power potential of other rivers can be considered as a basis to assess the whole potential on a worldwide level.

Especially with the increasing concerns about greenhouse gas emissions, there is a need for an optimization approach capable of multifactor calibration and prediction of interactions. Since conventional methods based on empirical relations are not efficiently applicable, this study investigates use of Response Surface Methodology as a strong optimization tool. A bubble column reactor was used and the effect of solvent concentration (10.0, 20.0 and 30.0 vol%), flow rate (4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 L min-1), diffuser pore size (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mm) and temperature (20.0, 25.0 and 30.0 degrees C) on the absorption capacity and also overall mass transfer coefficient was evaluated. The optimization results for maintaining maximum capacity and overall mass transfer coefficient revealed that different optimization targets led to different tuned operational factors. Overall mass transfer coefficient decreased to 34.7 min-1 when the maximum capacity was the desired target. High reaction rate along with the highest absorption capacity was set as desirable two factor target in this application. As a result, a third scenario was designed to maximize both mass transfer coefficient and absorption capacity simultaneously. The optimized condition was achieved when a gas flow rate of 5.9 L min-1, MEA solution of 29.6 vol%, diffuser pore size of 0.5 mm and temperature of 20.6 degrees C was adjusted. At this condition, mass transfer coefficient reached a maximum of 38.4 min-1, with a forecasted achievable absorption capacity of 120.5 g CO2 per kg MEA.
