We present a high-power, polarization-maintaining (PM) Er 3+ -doped fluoride fiber amplifier, which enables watt- level, linearly-polarized (LP) superfluorescent outputs around 2.8 μm by using a n…
Conventional utility grids with power stations generate electricity only when needed, and the power is to be consumed instantly. This paradigm has drawbacks, including delayed demand response, mass…
Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) serves as a physical security primitive that cannot be feasibly duplicated and has diversified applications in the field of hardware security. Although optical PU…
In high-capacity coherent transmission applications such as 400 Gb/s and beyond, silicon inphase and quadrature modulators (SIQMs) are widely used as a coherent transmitter assembly. The bias point…
Companies in platform-based business markets have widely embraced freemium business models where profit primarily depends on a minority of paying customers. However, the key challenge of these mode…
Visualizing very large matrices involves many formidable problems. Various popular solutions to these problems involve sampling, clustering, projection, or feature selection to reduce the size and …
In bike-sharing systems, the spatiotemporal imbalance of bike flows leads to shortages of bikes at some locations and overages at some others, depending on the time of the day, resulting in user di…
Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS)-based distributed fiber optic sensing technique has found pervasive applications in measurement of real-world environmental variables. Its sensing capability, …
Establishing correct correspondences between two images should consider both local and global spatial context. Given putative correspondences of feature points in two views, in this paper, we propo…
Shopping malls are densely located in major cities such as Singapore and Hong Kong. Tenants in these shopping malls generate a large number of freight orders to their contracted logistics service p…
