Modified Decision Feedback Equalizers for Nonlinearity Compensation in Coherent PAM4 Transmission System

open access: yesPhotonics
To address chromatic dispersion (CD) and nonlinear impairments in coherent optical four-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM4) systems, we propose a magnitude-assisted decision feedback equalizer (MA-DFE).

True Phase Measurement of Distributed Vibration Sensors Based on Heterodyne $\varphi $-OTDR

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2018
We demonstrate a method to truly measure the phase change originated from external vibration by heterodyne phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometer ($\varphi $ -OTDR).

Tests of Complete Positivity in Fiber Optics

open access: yes, 2006
We consider the propagation of polarized photons in optical fibers under the action of randomly generated noise. In such situation, the change in time of the photon polarization can be described by a quantum dynamical semigroup.

Programmable Reconfiguration of Hybrid 4D Chiral Metamaterials via Mechanical and Thermal Stimuli

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A class of hybrid chiral mechanical metamaterials is designed to achieve programmable reconfiguration through soft networks, hinges, and bilayer joints integrated with rigid units. Responsive to mechanical and thermal stimuli, these structures exhibit large volume changes, tunable deformation pathways, and both positive and negative thermal expansion ...

Movable Fiber-Integrated Hybrid Plasmonic Waveguide on Metal Film

open access: yes, 2011
A waveguide structure consisting of a tapered nanofiber on a metal film is proposed and analyzed to support highly localized hybrid plasmonic modes. The hybrid plasmonic mode can be efficiently excited through the in-line tapered fiber based on adiabatic

Effect of Annealing Temperature on Microstructure and Dry‐Sliding Behavior of Powder Bed Fusion–Laser Beam Ti6Al2Sn4Zr6Mo Alloy

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Heat treatment parameters critically affect the wear resistance of powder bed fusion–laser beam (PBF‐LB)‐produced Ti–6Al–2Sn–4Zr–6Mo alloy. This study found that optimizing annealing temperature allows to obtain a tailored microstructure, which enhances the dry‐sliding behavior by forming a stable and functional mechanically mixed layer (MML), ensuring
