Binarized neural networks (BNNs) have drawn significant attention in recent years, owing to great potential in reducing computation and storage consumption. While it is attractive, traditional BNNs…
Beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM), has attracted wide interests recently, due to their favorable potential in communications, optical tweezers, remote detection, etc. However, distortio…
A switchable dual-band binary and single-band quaternary phase-coded microwave signal generator based on a single dual-polarization dual-drive Mach–Zehnder modulator (DP-DDMZM) is proposed. Two r…
We propose and demonstrate a plastic photonic synapse to achieve all-optical synaptic plasticity based on the potentiated and depressed dynamics in commercially available vertical-cavity semiconduc…
In this paper, a joint equalization and decoding method based on recurrent neural networks (RNNs) is proposed for trellis coded modulation (TCM) systems. For traditional methods based on concatenat…
A high-spatial-resolution, i.e., 2.0 mm, strain sensor based on a Rayleigh-scattering-enhanced SMF, i.e., exposed SMF (E-SMF) with direct UV laser, was experimentally demonstrated. The enhancement …
Fine-grained visual classification (FGVC) is much more challenging than traditional classification tasks due to the inherently subtle intra-class object variations. Recent works are mainly part-d…
Low-light image enhancement (LLIE) aims at improving the perception or interpretability of an image captured in an environment with poor illumination. Recent advances in this area are dominated by …
We propose an elliptical-core mode selective photonic lantern (EC-MSPL), which can be well matched to mode division multiplexing (MDM) systems without multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO). The tap…
