The first multilevel converter (MLC) is more than 50 years old. However, its concept can be traced back to a much earlier era, i.e., the beginning of power electronics, which may not be well-known …
Vortex beam, manifesting the characteristic helical phase front and amplitude singularity, carries inherent orbital angular momentum (OAM) and has received intensive research from its generation, d…
We propose a unified game-theoretical framework to perform classification and conditional image generation given limited supervision. It is formulated as a three-player minimax game consisting of a…
This paper reviews the novel concept of a controllable variational autoencoder (ControlVAE), discusses its parameter tuning to meet application needs, derives its key analytic properties, and offer…
Coherent detection is advantageous in achieving high electrical spectral efficiency (ESE) relative to direct detection (DD), due to its capability of field recovery. However, the stringent requirem…
A microwave photonic phase detector (MPPD) for simultaneous synchronization of two independent microwave sources to a single mode-locked laser (MLL) with femtosecond-level residual timing jitters i…
A self-feedback anti-symmetric coupled fiber ring resonator (SACFRR) is proposed and demonstrated to generate the distinctive loss dependent bifid dips. The universal derivation of the ring resonat…
Real-time and high-speed interrogation of optical fiber sensors normally requires sophisticated detection systems. Here a novel microwave photonic approach for interrogation of high-speed and high-…
In this paper, we demonstrated a high-brightness bidirectional tandem-pumped confined-doped fiber amplifier with nearly 8 kW output power. The technical difficulties for realizing the bidirectional…
Time-of-flight measurements are key to study distributed mode coupling and differential mode group delay (DMDG) in multimode fibers (MMFs). However, current approaches using regular photodetectors …
