Time‐Stretched Interferometric LiDAR with Dispersive Wavenumber‐to‐Time Range Encoding

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
We present a time‐stretched interferometric LiDAR that directly encodes distance into time‐domain interference signals. Operating at 5 MHz with only millimeter‐level coherence length, the system measures up to 12 m with centimeter precision and resolution, achieving high‐speed 3D imaging and dynamic target detection without FFT processing or long ...

Finding a mix of renewable energy for different stakeholders by applying multi‐criteria decision‐making techniques

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 2499-2534, July 2026.
Abstract This paper presents a two‐stage model for planning a renewable energy portfolio by balancing economic, social and environmental sustainability goals. The first stage addresses a multi‐objective problem where conflictive impacts generated by the energy portfolios should be optimised according to the corresponding economic, social or ...
