FedAUXfdp: Differentially Private One-Shot Federated Distillation
Federated learning suffers in the case of non-iid local datasets, i.e., when the distributions of the clients’ data are heterogeneous. One promising approach to this challenge is the recently proposed method FedAUX. This work presents a fully...
Coherent LiDAR with 2D quasi-static MEMS mirror scanning
Coherent LiDAR concepts for automotive applications are of increasing interest due to their superior performance, especially at longer range. Here, MEMS mirrors can be used as a compact scanning device. We demonstrate the operation of such a...
Microwave Photonic ps-Pulse and 140 GHz RF Comb Generator
A microwave photonic RF comb generator is presented by combining an fs-pulse laser and a high-speed broadband photodetector module. The subsystem generates pulses with a FWHM of 5.8 ps and a flat RF comb up to 140 GHz. Furthermore, the...
Real-Time Sub-THz Link Enabled Purely by Optoelectronics: 90–310 GHz Seamless Operation
A photonics-enabled sub-THz wireless link operating in real-time settings, using a PIN-PD-based THz emitter, and a THz receiver based on an ultra-fast photoconductor is demonstrated. The real-time generation and detection of the information...

Colorless and Directionless ROADM for Meshed Coupled-Core Multicore Fiber Networks
Researchers from NICT, University of L’Aquila, Finisar, Prysmian and Nokia Bell Lab demonstrate a 2-line side 15-mode spatial division multiplexing network node based on fifteen 2×2 wavelength cross-connects to direct up to six 5 Tb/s, 15-mode,...
Partial MIMO-based Mode Division Multiplexing Transmission over the First Field-Deployed 15-Mode Fiber in Metro Scenario
Researchers from Politecnico di Milano, NICT, Prysmian and University of L’Aquila assess mode division multiplexing transmission based on partial MIMO equalization over 6.1 km of the first deployed 15-mode fiber. They demonstrate more than...
Demonstration of Multi-Hop Mode-Group Routing in a Field-Deployed Multi-Mode Fiber Network
Researchers from Politecnico di Milano, NICT, Prysmian and University of L’Aquila show that Space-division multiplexing can enhance node flexibility in urban networks by exploiting routing of weakly coupled mode groups. They demonstrate multi-hop...
Guard-ring free InGaAs/InP single photon avalanche diodes for C-band quantum communication
We present a guard-ring free InGaAs/InP single photon avalanche diode with 20 µm diameter for the optical C-band. At 225 K, 25.6 µs dead time and 17% detection efficiency, the dark count rate is 3 kcps with 0.5% afterpulsing probability. This...
Angle-Resolved THz Channel Measurements at 300 GHz in a Shopping Mall Scenario
This paper presents first results of channel measurements conducted at 300GHz in a shopping mall scenario. Angle-resolved channel impulse responses were analysed with regards to channel parameters. A novelty of this work is the channel parameter...
