Optical fibers have reshaped the technological landscape, from optical networks and high-speed data communication to in situ imaging and non-invasive surgery methods. The revolution allowed by these fibers has been made possible by its fabrication method, ...
Time-energy entangled photon pairs are fundamental resources for quantum communication protocols since they are robust against environmental fluctuations in optical fiber networks. Pair sources based on spontaneous four-wave mixing in silicon microring res ...
This work considers a diffusion network responding to streaming data, and studies the problem of identifying the topology of a subnetwork of observable agents by tracking their output measurements. Topology inference from indirect and/or incomplete dataset ...
Optical nanocavities enhance light-matter interaction due to their high quality factors (Q) and small modal volumes (V). The control of light-matter interaction lies at the heart of potential applications for integrated optical circuits, including optical ...
The paper presents the design principles of a Phasor Data Concentrator (PDC) that implements both the absolute and relative time data pushing logics together with a third one that aims at minimizing the latency introduced by the PDC without increasing the ...
Operational practices of both power transmission and distribution grids are impacted by the increasing connection of renewable energy resources, electric vehicles and energy storage systems. A timely and accurate knowledge of the system state, coupled with ...
We propose and compare add-drop multiplexing schemes for Nyquist OTDM signals based on 1 x2 or 2 x2 Mach-Zehnder modulator. Bright and dark sinc pulse carver simultaneously provided by the modulator fulfil drop, notch and add functions. ...
A smart structure based on carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) embedding optical fibers is proposed for distributed sensing in structural health monitoring. The proposed CFRP package provides mechanical protection to the optical fiber, enables temperatu ...
There is a world-wide push to create the next-generation all-optical transmission and switching technologies for exascale data centers. In this paper we focus on the switching fabrics. Many different types of 2D architectures are being explored including M ...
This thesis presents results of a research on unidirectional isolator-free cavity lasers, exploiting thulium-doped fiber (TDF) as amplification medium and operating in \unit[2]{\mu m} wavelength range. For fibre ring resonator, an optical isolator should b ...
