Platelets are critical blood products. The management of platelet inventory is particularly challenging because of its perishable nature with a short shelf life. Motivated by a platelet inventory m…
Human intelligence can simultaneously process many tasks with the ability to accumulate and reuse knowledge. Recent advances in artificial intelligence, such as transfer, multitask, and layered lea…
Problem definition: Is deep reinforcement learning (DRL) effective at solving inventory problems? Academic/practical relevance: Given that DRL has successfully been applied in computer games and ro…
Space-division multiplexing is a widely used technique to improve data-carrying capacities in both wireless and optical communication systems. However, tightly packed spatial channels cause severe …
A four-orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes converter consisting of the cascade of an OAM demultiplexer and an OAM multiplexer is implemented and characterized. The OAM multiplexer is realized with…
An optical fiber in-line Fabry-Perot interferometric device is presented for ultrasensitive strain sensing by use of vernier effect. The device consists of two parallel structured Fabry-Perot cavit…
Optical logic has the potential to replace electronics with photonic circuits in applications for which optic-to-electronic conversion is impractical and for integrated all-optical circuits. Nonlin…
