Numerical Studies of Brillouin-induced Polarization Pulling of Probe and Pump in Weakly-Birefringent Optical fibers with Applications to BOTDA

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez

Numerical solution of the involved governing equations confirm that the commonly used two orthogonal sets of gain- and loss-probes in BOTDA, differently affect the evolution of the pump state-of- polarization, thereby potentially compromising the minimizat ...

Complementary Metasurfaces for Guiding Electromagnetic Wave

Mohammad Sajjad Mirmoosa

Metasurfaces can be employed for designing waveguides that confine the electromagnetic energy while they are open structures. In this communication, we introduce a new type of such waveguides, formed by two penetrable metasurfaces having complementary isot ...

ComplexBeat: Breathing Rate Estimation from Complex CSI

Andreas Peter Burg, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming, Andreas Toftegaard Kristensen, Sitian Li

In this paper, we explore the use of channel state information (CSI) from a WiFi system to estimate the breathing rate of a person in a room. In order to extract WiFi CSI components that are sensitive to breathing, we propose to consider the delay domain c ...

A p-weighted limiter for the discontinuous Galerkin method on one-dimensional and two-dimensional triangular grids

Qian Wang, Qian Wang

This paper presents an accuracy-preserving p-weighted limiter for discontinuous Galerkin methods on one-dimensional and two-dimensional triangular grids. The p-weighted limiter is the extension of the second-order WENO limiter by Li et al. [W. Li, J. Pan a ...

Numerical Approximation Of Orthogonal Maps

Marco Picasso, Alexandre Caboussat, Dimitrios Gourzoulidis

Orthogonal maps are the solutions of the mathematical model of paper-folding, also called the origami problem. They consist of a system of first-order fully nonlinear equations involving the gradient of the solution. The Dirichlet problem for orthogonal ma ...

Second-order sensitivity in the cylinder wake: Optimal spanwise-periodic wall actuation and wall deformation

François Gallaire, Edouard Boujo, Andrea Fani

Two-dimensional (2D) flows can be controlled efficiently using spanwise "waviness," i.e., a control (e.g., wall blowing and suction or wall deformation) that is periodic in the spanwise direction. This study tackles the global linear stability of 2D flows ...

Method and apparatus for measuring the local birefingence along an optical waveguide

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Xin Lu

This invention relates to a system and method to determine the distributed birefringence profile along an optical fibre. Birefringence manifests as different refractive indices for two orthogonal states of polarization of the light propagating in the optic ...

Mitigation of modulation instability in Brillouin distributed fiber sensors by using orthogonal polarization pulses

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Mohammad Mehdi Alem Karladani, Javier Urricelqui Polvorinos

A technique based on the use of orthogonally-polarized pulses is proposed to mitigate the detrimental impact of modulation instability on Brillouin distributed fiber sensors. While the theoretical underpinnings of the method are described by introducing a ...

Optical Injection and Lasing Dynamics in Long-Wavelength VCSELs With Intracavity Patterning

Elyahou Kapon, Benjamin Dwir, Alexandru Mereuta, Vladimir Iakovlev, Alexei Sirbu, Andrei Caliman, Zlatko Mickovic, Dalila Ellafi, Christopher Michael Long

We present the static and optical injection response of wafer-fused long-wavelength VCSELs with and without intracavity patterning. It is found that the extra optical cavity patterning increases the gain anisotropy between orthogonal polarization modes, in ...

Compact UWB antennas for Wireless Body Area Networks (W-BANs)

Anja Skrivervik, Jean-François Zürcher, Jovanche Trajkovikj

A major issue in Wireless Body Area Networks (W-BAN) is the reliability of the transmission in all conditions, thus in all locations and positions of the wearer. One way to achieve this is to design communication systems as independent as possible to the p ...

Exploiting Common Randomness: a Resource for Network Secrecy

Suhas Diggavi, László Czap, Vinod Malathidevi Prabhakaran

We investigate the problem of secure communication in a simple network with three communicating parties, two distributed sources who communicate over orthogonal channels to one destination node. The cooperation between the sources is restricted to a rate l ...

A Simple Reflectarray Cell with 1-bit Phase Control and Polarization Flexibility

Julien Perruisseau-Carrier, Tomislav Debogovic

In this work we present a simple reconfigurable reflectarray (RRA) unit cell general topology and implementation, which allows the independent control of the phase and polarization of the reflected electromagnetic wave. The 1-bit phase control (with 180 de ...

Orthogonal differential vector signaling

Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi, Harm Cronie

Using a transformation based at least in part on a non-simple orthogonal or unitary matrix, data may be transmitted over a data bus in a manner that is resilient to one or more types of signal noise, that does not require a common reference at the transmis ...

Non-axis-symmetrical punching shear around internal columns of RC slabs without transverse reinforcement

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Juan Sagaseta Albajar, Luca Tassinari

Most analytical approaches and available test data for punching shear in flat slabs assume axis-symmetrical conditions, which seems realistic for representing slabs supported on columns equally spaced in both orthogonal directions. However, in practice, th ...

Dual-pump push-pull polarization control using stimulated Brillouin scattering

Luc Thévenaz, Sang Hoon Chin, Nikolay Primerov

Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) amplification of probe signals is highly polarization dependent. Maximum and minimum gain values are associated with a pair of orthogonal states of polarization (SOP), which are related to the pump SOP. Since the maxim ...
