Distribution Matching for Dimming Control in Visible-Light Region-of-Interest Signaling

IEEE Photonics Journal, 2023
We propose a two-level dimmer based on binary distribution matching where a low-rate signal controls the output probability distribution of a high-rate bit sequence, which can be used in region-of-interest (RoI) signaling applications. To reduce the rate

Asymmetric Curvature Side-Polished Optical Fiber Coupler

IEEE Photonics Journal, 2023
An optical fiber coupler composed of two side-polished fibers with different curvature is proposed. The live-fiber is polished with a typical radius of curvature of 0.25 m, while the branch-fiber is polished with a larger radius of curvature.

Lack of motor prediction, rather than perceptual conflict, evokes an odd sensation upon stepping onto a stopped escalator

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2014
When stepping onto a stopped escalator, we often perceive an odd sensation that is never felt when stepping onto stairs. The sight of an escalator provides a strong contextual cue that, in expectation of the backward acceleration when stepping on ...

Novel Wide-Range Frequency Offset Estimation and Compensation for Burst-mode CPFSK Upstream Signaling in TDM-Based Digital Coherent PON

IEEE Photonics Journal, 2023
The burst-mode continuous phase frequency shift-keying (CPFSK) transmitter that combines a directly modulated laser diode, an electro absorption modulator and a semiconductor optical amplifier is attractive as a cost-effective transmitter for phase ...

Distinct temporal developments of visual motion and position representations for multi-stream visuomotor coordination

Scientific Reports, 2019
A fundamental but controversial question in information coding of moving visual target is which of ‘motion’ or ‘position’ signal is employed in the brain for producing quick motor reactions.

Telephone conversation impairs sustained visual attention via a central bottleneck [PDF]

, 2008
Recent research has shown that holding telephone conversations disrupts one's driving ability. We asked whether this effect could be attributed to a visual attention impairment.
