2D Optical Phased Arrays for Laser Beam Steering Based on 3D Polymer Photonic Integrated Circuits
A novel concept for the implementation of 2-dimensional (2D) optical phased arrays (OPAs) with end-fire waveguides as antenna elements (AEs) is proposed and its theoretical model and experimental proof is presented. The concept is based on the...
Influence of losses on the Laser Voltage drop of the active section
A model of a tunable distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) laser describing the effect of cavity losses on the gain voltage is presented. Theoretical and experimental results are in good agreement. Measurements show the gain voltage trace for Bragg...

Interconnection challenges on integrated terahertz photonic systems
Current challenges for RF interconnects are presented, esp. for calibrated measures of the frequency response of components operating > 100 GHz. Photonics and electronics are combined to develop new paradigm in the millimetre and Terahertz...
Curiously Effective Features For Image Quality Prediction
We find feature extractors constructed from random noise to be sufficient to learn a linear regression model whose quality predictions reach high correlations with human visual quality ratings, on par with a model with learned features.
EEG-Based Analysis of the Impact of Familiarity in the Perception of Deepfake Videos
Using EEG, we classify perceptual differences of familiar and unfamiliar people versus their face-swapped counterparts. Our results show that it is possible to discriminate fake videos from genuine ones when at least one face-swapped actor is...
An Efficient Multi-Link Channel Model for LiFi
The emergence of LiFi for indoor communications opens up new possibilities for wireless services in crowded multiuser scenarios. The deployment of LiFi in indoor scenarios is challenging due to the line-of-sight (LOS) blockage as well as...
Zero on Shape: A Generic 2D-3D Instance Similarity Metric learned from Synthetic Data
We present a network architecture which compares RGB images and untextured 3D models by the similarity of the represented shape. Our system is optimised for Zero-Shot retrieval, meaning it can recognise shapes never shown in training.
Enabling S-C-L-Band Systems with Standard C-Band Modulator and Coherent Receiver using Nonlinear Predistortion
To counteract the forthcoming capacity crunch in optical networks by increasing the throughput over already existing fiber infrastructures, innovative approaches are required. Multiband systems are an interesting approach to address this issue....
S-Band Transmission with Off-the-Shelf C-Band Components Enabled by Nonlinear Predistortion based on Coherent System Identification
Nonlinear Predistortion based on Coherent System Identification Text: In order to cope with the rapid traffic growth and as well reducing the cost-per-bit, reuse of the legacy optical fiber infrastructure is one of the main objectives for...
