Hybrid Silicon and Lithium Niobate photonic integration platform has emerged as a promising candidate to combine the scalability of silicon photonic with the high modulation performance of Lithium …
In this article, we propose a novel object detection algorithm named ”Deep Regionlets” by integrating deep neural networks and a conventional detection schema for accurate generic object detect…
A compact and robust in-fiber acoustically-induced Mach-Zehnder interferometer (AI-MZI) was demonstrated based on the phase mismatch in an acoustic wave driving fiber Bragg grating (FBG). The fiber…
Polarization extinction ratio (PER) is a quantitative indicator of the polarization-maintaining (PM) ability of a device. In this work, we present a distributed PER measurement method based on whit…
Swift and dynamic reconfigurability of network topology, even at the optical layer, is essential for satisfying the various requirements of future networks in diverse areas (e.g., data centers, 5G/…
Neural network (NN)-based nonlinear equalizers have been shown effective for various types of short-reach direct detection systems. However, they work best for a certain channel condition and need …
Self-coherent detection is a promising solution for extending the transmission reach for direct detection system. For these schemes, high carrier-to-signal power ratio (CSPR) is usually required to…
The 55th Design Automation Conference (DAC) held its first System Design Contest (SDC) in 2018. SDC'18 features a lower power object detection challenge (LPODC) on designing and implementing novel …
We demonstrate an 80 nm bandwidth (extending from 1529 to 1609 nm), dual-stage, diode-pumped, lumped Raman amplifier using a relatively short total length (2 km) of highly nonlinear fiber. The impa…
