It is foreseeable that the 100 Gb/s/ λ and beyond passive optical network (PON) will be required in future optical access networks to meet the explosive growth of data traffic. The coherent optica…
Nonlinear equalization (NE) plays a pivotal role in the analog intermediate-frequency over fiber (IFoF) mobile fronthaul (MFH) system demanding a high signal fidelity. This work proposes and experi…
Flexible rate and real-time link monitoring are important tasks in the development of software-defined elastic optical networks (EONs). The tunable spectral efficiency characteristic of probabilist…
When acquiring consumer data for marketing or new business initiatives, it is important to decide what attributes or features of potential customers should be acquired. We study a new feature selec…
We have implemented a large-capacity, long-haul, and high spectral efficiency photonics-based polarization multiplexing communication system at W-band. The signal delivery up to 119.1 Gb/s with spe…
A cost-efficient fiber immunosensor based on an open-cavity Fabry–Perot interferometer (FPI) with the Vernier effect for tumor biomarker named carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) detection is proposed…
Respiration rate and volume are important physiological indicators of human health. They can indicate cardiovascular health status and cardiopulmonary function. Here, we demonstrate a compact breat…
In this work, we propose and demonstrate a high-stability polarization-based interrogation method using cross-correlation for optical fiber interferometric acoustic sensing. Specifically, an extrin…
A temperature-compensated refractive index (RI) sensor based on thinned strongly-coupled seven-core fiber (SC-SCF) supermode Bragg grating and interferometer is demonstrated. The SC-SCF spliced bet…
Fiber optic (FO) sensors have great potential for low-cost, microsample testing and compact medical diagnostics. In this work, a FO sensor based on dielectric nanostructure is proposed and demonstr…
