We present the design and fabrication of more than 2000 km of a 7-core multi-core fiber (MCF) drawn from a single large-scale MCF preform. The fiber was fabricated without any online fiber breaks and exhibits axially excellent geometrical...

The EU-funded project COMPAIR designed advanced monitoring and simulation tools that aggregate data from multiple sources to provide a well-rounded view of air pollution and related challenges e.g. traffic, waste management, energy use. Built-in...

We successfully achieved MFI using a neuromorphic PIC with a photonic reservoir and digital readout, both in a laboratory environment and with commercial network equipment.

We address system trade-offs, e.g. between resolution and speed of a coherent scanning LiDAR. We analyze the performance of our real-time FMCW LiDAR prototype with a high-quantumefficiency coherent receiver, two-dimensional...

In cell-free networks, system throughput is enhanced by allowing more than one access point (AP) to serve each user, which may lead to high energy consumption. To circumvent this, this paper presents a surrogate optimization technique using...

NeRFs struggle with low-textured areas, causing "floaters" that reduce realism, especially on featureless surfaces. We propose a method for computing dense depth priors for these areas, using a novel depth loss function and patch regularization...

We demonstrate blind 6x6 adaptive equalization of 32 GBd DP-QPSK 3-mode transmission over a 54 km FMF based on the singularity-free convergence ability of the correlation-avoidance CMA (CA-CMA). The CA-CMA is used for robust pre-convergence in a...
