This study examines the pricing strategy of a parking sharing platform that rents the daytime-usage rights of private parking spaces from parking owners and sells them to parking users. In an urban…
The nonlinear effects in optical resonators give a promise for the generation of new laser sources. Here, a whispering gallery mode(WGM) micro-rod resonator is fabricated and the mechanism of trans…
Solving a complex optimization task from scratch can be significantly expensive and/or time-consuming. Common knowledge obtained from different (but possibly related) optimization tasks may help en…
Distributed fiber acoustic sensing (DAS) technology can measure acoustic waves along long-distance optical fiber with high spatial resolution. Due to its unique advantages, DAS has been applied in …
Photonic time-stretch applications overcome the speed limitations of conventional digitizers and enable the observation of nonrepetitive and statistically rare phenomena that occur on short timesca…
A compact mode converter (MC) has been demonstrated based on tapered hole-assisted dual-core fiber (HADCF). The MC is fabricated by splicing single mode fiber (SMF) and a piece of HADCF that is com…
We present the design, preparation, and performance optimization of strip waveguide in chalcogenide glass (ChG) for broadband supercontinuum (SC) generation. Ternary Ge-Sb-S systems possess large b…
We theoretically and experimentally investigate a phase-modulated frequency-shifting loop (PM-FSL) that includes an electro-optic phase modulator (EOPM) and a gain element, and is seeded by a singl…
Kerr nonlinearity in long distance fiber-optic link imposes a fundamental limitation to the capacity of wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) optical communication systems. Solving the inverse-prop…
Autonomous flight for UAVs relies on visual information for avoiding obstacles and ensuring safe collision-free flight. In addition to visual clues, safe UAVs often need connectivity with the groun…
