Circularly configured multi-SLM holographic display system
(IEEE, 2011) Yaraş, Fahri; Kang, Hoonjong; Onural, Levent
The designed circular holographic display system produces ghost-like 3D optical reconstructions of a computer generated 3D model. System uses six phase-only reflective-type spatial light modulators (SLMs) that are configured circularly. Alignment of the SLMs are successful and gap problem is solved by using half-mirrors. The total number of pixels of the resultant display is 11520 1080. Reconstructions show that increase in the viewing angle is significant compared to the single SLM case. With the help of the proposed system, observer can see the reconstructions binocularly. As a result, comfortable 3D perception is achieved. In order to avoid eye-hazard, LED illumination is also used as an alternative light source. Experimental results are satisfactory. Proposed system can be used as a holographic display system.

Color holographic reconstruction using multiple SLMs and LED illumination
(SPIE, 2009-01) Yaraş, Fahri; Onural, Levent
A color holographic reconstruction technique by using three light emitting diodes (LEDs) is described. Reflective type phase-only spatial light modulators (SLMs) are used since they are suitable for in-line phase holograms. Gerchberg-Saxton iterative algorithm is used for computing phase holograms. Three phase holograms are calculated separately for red, green and blue colors, for a color reconstruction, and separately loaded to corresponding SLMs. Three LEDs are used for illuminating those phase holograms and reconstructions are combined and captured. Experimental results are satisfactory. © 2009 SPIE-IS&T.

Design and implementation of a DMD based volumetric 3D display
(IEEE, 2008-05) Yücesoy, Veysel; Tunaoǧlu, Doruk; Kovachev, Metodi; Ilieva, Rossitza; Onural, Levent
A real image swept-volume volumetric display is developed. A piston type moving screen is used to obtain the desired volume. A commercially available DMD device is used to project 2D slices of a 3D frame. There is a varying magnification effect during the projection because of the optical design of the system; raw 3D video frames are processed by a software to generate the appropriate 2D slices by also correcting the magnification. Synchronization between the hardware and the software is achieved via a microcontroller. The overall system is capable of printing 12 3D frames per second where a 3D frame consists of 90 2D slices with a resolution varying from 512x512 to 450x450 (approx. 20M voxels per one 3D frame). Although some flickering effect is observed due to rather low 3D frame rate, results are visually satisfactory. ©2008 IEEE.

Laser-slicing of silicon with 3D nonlinear laser lithography
(OSA, 2017) Tokel, Onur; Turnalı, Ahmet; Çolakoğlu, T.; İlday, Serim; Borra, M. Z.; Pavlov, Ihor; Bek, A.; Turan, R.; İlday, Fatih Ömer
Recently, we have showed a direct laser writing method that exploits nonlinear interactions to form subsurface modifications in silicon. Here, we use the technique to demonstrate laser-slicing of silicon and its applications.

Notice of violation of IEEE publication principles an energy-efficient heterogeneous memory architecture for future dark silicon embedded chip-multiprocessors
(IEEE Computer Society, 2018) Onsori, S.; Asad, A.; Raahemifar, K.; Fathy, M.
Main memories play an important role in overall energy consumption of embedded systems. Using conventional memory technologies in future designs in nanoscale era causes a drastic increase in leakage power consumption and temperature-related problems. Emerging non-volatile memory (NVM) technologies offer many desirable characteristics such as near-zero leakage power, high density and non-volatility. They can significantly mitigate the issue of memory leakage power in future embedded chip-multiprocessor (eCMP) systems. However, they suffer from challenges such as limited write endurance and high write energy consumption which restrict them for adoption in modern memory systems. In this article, we present a convex optimization model to design a 3D stacked hybrid memory architecture in order to minimize the future embedded systems energy consumption in the dark silicon era. This proposed approach satisfies endurance constraint in order to design a reliable memory system. Our convex model optimizes numbers and placement of eDRAM and STT-RAM memory banks on the memory layer to exploit the advantages of both technologies in future eCMPs. Energy consumption, the main challenge in the dark silicon era, is represented as a major target in this work and it is minimized by the detailed optimization model in order to design a dark silicon aware 3D Chip-Multiprocessor. Experimental results show that in comparison with the Baseline memory design, the proposed architecture improves the energy consumption and performance of the 3D CMP on average about 61.33% and 9% respectively.

Real-time color holographic video display system
(IEEE, 2009) Yaraş, Fahri; Kang, Hoonjong; Onural, Levent
A real-time multi-GPU color holographic video display system computes holograms from 3D video of a rigid object. System has three main stages; client, server and optics. 3D coordinate and texture information are kept in client and sent online to the server through the network. In the server stage, with the help of the parallel processing ability of the GPUs and segmentation algorithms, phase-holograms are computed in real-time. The graphic card of the server computer drives the SLMs and red, green and blue channels are controlled in parallel. Resultant color holographic video is loaded to the SLMs which are illuminated by expanded light from LEDs. In the optics stage, reconstructed color components are combined by using beam splitters. Reconstructions are captured by a CCD array without any supporting optics. Experimental results are satisfactory.
