High-dimensional decoy-state quantum key distribution over 0.3 km of multicore telecommunication optical fibers [PDF]
, 2016 Multiplexing is a strategy to augment the transmission capacity of a communication system. It consists of combining multiple signals over the same data channel and it has been very successful in classical communications.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Soft robotic arms are promising for gentle grasping but often rely on bulky actuation systems. This work presents a computational design framework that optimizes tendon number and routing to achieve target grasps with fewer actuators. Validated on an octopus‐inspired underwater arm, the approach enables efficient, underactuated soft manipulators for ...

Multicore Optical Fiber Sensors
CLEO Pacific Rim Conference, 2018 We review recent multicore optical fiber-based interferometric sensors for vibration, strain and temperature monitoring. Simple, highly sensitive sensors operating in reflection and transmission mode have been fabricated using short segments of strongly coupled core MCFs.

Crosstalk Analysis of Heterogeneous Multicore Fibers Using Coupled-Mode Theory
IEEE Photonics Journal, 2017 Intercore crosstalk of heterogeneous multicore fiber is investigated based on coupled-mode theory. Random twisting model is used for estimating the crosstalk. The crosstalk of two kinds of fibers: triangular lattice 30-core fiber with four kinds of cores

Programmable crack dynamics engineering enables flexible strain sensors with high linearity
FlexMat, EarlyView.First‐decoupling theoretical framework of crack evolution elucidating the control methods, mechanistic insights, and structure‐activity relationships is established. Crack propagation from uncontrollable randomness systematically evolves into spatially ordered states.

Highly birefringent multicore optical fibers [PDF]
CLEO: 2014, 2014 We report on the fabrication and characterization of two polarization maintaining multicore fibres, one with three and the other with ninety eight cores. The beat length and polarization orientation are characterized.

End-View Image Processing Based Angle Alignment Techniques for Specialty Optical Fibers
IEEE Photonics Journal, 2017 We propose two end-view-based digital image processing algorithms for high-precision rotational angle alignment of specialty optical fibers. The first technique is based on the cross-correlation calculation between images of two fiber ends.

Extended field-of-view in a lensless endoscope using an aperiodic multicore fiber
, 2016 We investigate lensless endoscopy using coherent beam combining and aperiodic multicore fibers (MCF). We show that diffracted orders, inherent to MCF with periodically arranged cores, dramatically reduce the field of view (FoV) and that randomness in MCF

Flexible lensless endoscope with a conformationally invariant multi-core fiber [PDF]
, 2019 The lensless endoscope represents the ultimate limit in miniaturization of imaging tools: an image can be transmitted through a (multi-mode or multi-core) fiber by numerical or physical inversion of the fiber's pre-measured transmission matrix.
