Exploring the Gene Pool of Silver Fir in Southern Germany on the Search for Climate-Smart Seed Sources

open access: yesSouth-East European Forestry, 2023
Central European populations of silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) grow under a relatively wide amplitude of environmental conditions. Assuming that forest tree stands are locally adapted, the use of forest reproductive material from sites with limited water ...

Effect of mask discretization on performance of silicon arrayed waveguide gratings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We studied the impact of the lithography mask discretization on silicon arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) performance. When we decreased the mask grid from 5 to 1 nm, we observed an experimental improvement in crosstalk of 2.7-6 dB and cumulative crosstalk

Flexibility evaluation of hybrid WDM/TDM PONs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A hybrid WDM/TDM passive optical network (PON) is a promising candidate for next-generation optical access (NGOA) solutions. Several hybrid WDM/TDM PON architectures can be designed, each with a different degree of flexibility, going from fully static ...

A Compact Incubation Platform for Long‐Term Cultivation of Biological Samples for Nitrogen‐Vacancy Center Widefield Microscopy

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A compact incubation platform enables long‐term cultivation of biological samples directly on diamond quantum sensors for NV widefield magnetometry. The 3D‐printed biocompatible chamber provides a temperature controlled, CO2${\rm CO}_2$ and humidity rich environment while accommodating total internal reflection excitation geometry.

Enhanced High Dimensionality and the Information Processing Capacity in Interfered Spin Wave‐Based Reservoir Computing, Achieved With Eight Detectors

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Physical reservoir computing (PRC) based on spin wave interference has demonstrated high computational performance, yet room for improvement remains. In this study, we fabricated this concept PRC with eight detectors and evaluated the impact of the number of detectors using a chaotic time series prediction task.
