Time gated phase-correlation distributed Brillouin fibre sensor

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Andrey Denisov

A random access distributed Brillouin fibre sensor is presented, based on phase modulation using a pseudo-random bit sequence (PRBS) together with time gating. The standard phase-correlation technique is known to show a noise level increasing linearly with ...

Generation and application of dynamic gratings in optical fibers using stimulated Brillouin scattering

Luc Thévenaz, Nikolay Primerov

Since the invention of optical fiber cable data transmission using light has become ubiquitous in the past years. Nonlinear optical effects, which are hardly noticed in our daily life, have become crucial and highly influential for the design and performan ...

Microwave Photonic Notch Filter Based on Dynamic Brillouin Gratings Generated by PRBS Signals

Luc Thévenaz

A method to create a microwave notch filter through dynamic Brillouin gratings is proposed and numerically demonstrated. It exploits the thumbtack correlation peaks of pseudo random bit sequences. ...

Long Variable Delay and Distributed Sensing Using Stationary and Localized Brillouin Dynamic Gratings

Luc Thévenaz, Nikolay Primerov

Stationary and localized Brillouin dynamic gratings are generated using phase modulation of both pump waves by a pseudo-random bit sequence. The gratings are applied to long variable delay of pulses and to cm-level distributed sensing ...

Random-access distributed fiber sensing

Luc Thévenaz, Nikolay Primerov, Andrey Denisov

Optical sensing offers an attractive solution to the societal concern for prevention of natural and human-generated threats and for efficient use of natural resources. The unprecedented properties of optical fibers make them ideal for implementing a ‘nervo ...

Neural Pre-coding Increases the Pattern Retrieval Capacity of Hopﬁeld and Bidirectional Associative Memories

Wulfram Gerstner, Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi, Krishna Kumar, Amir Hesam Salavati

We consider the problem of neural association, which deals with the retrieval of a previously memorized pattern from its noisy version. The performance of various neural networks developed for this task may be judged in terms of their pattern retrieval cap ...

A Mobile World of Security

Christine Neuberg

Security in mobile communications is a topic of increasing relevance in everyday life. We all use mobile devices for everyday communications, maybe even for exchanging confidential information with the work place. This requires security systems that are re ...

Polar codes for channel and source coding

Satish Babu Korada

The two central topics of information theory are the compression and the transmission of data. Shannon, in his seminal work, formalized both these problems and determined their fundamental limits. Since then the main goal of coding theory has been to find ...

Analysis of lightweight stream ciphers

Simon Fischer

Stream ciphers are fast cryptographic primitives to provide confidentiality of electronically transmitted data. They can be very suitable in environments with restricted resources, such as mobile devices or embedded systems. Practical examples are cell pho ...

An Architecture for Wireless Simulation in NS-2 Applied to Impulse-Radio Ultra-Wide Band Networks

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Ruben Merz, Jörg Widmer

We present an architecture for implementing a wireless physical layer in a packet-based network simulator. We integrate this architecture in the popular ns-2 network simulator and use it to implement an impulse-radio ultra-wide band (IR-UWB) physical layer ...
