Prenatal auditory experience and its sequelae

Lukas Vogelsang, Marin Vogelsang

Towards the end of the second trimester of gestation, a human fetus is able to register environmental sounds. This in utero auditory experience is characterized by comprising strongly low-pass-filtered versions of sounds from the external world. Here, we p ...

Versatile shaping of optical frequency combs and applications

Jianqi Hu

Optical frequency combs are a series of phase-locked and equidistant laser lines in the spectral domain. In the time domain, they correspond to periodic pulse trains by the Fourier relation. The ability to shape optical combs and pulse trains is pivotal to ...

Benchmarking of single imaging datasets

Aleksandra Radenovic, Adrien Charles-François Raymond Descloux

A method of estimating a value (311-313) indicative of a signal component of an input imaging dataset (190) includes determining a normalized Fourier-domain representation of the input imaging dataset (190); and for each one of multiple low-pass filters (3 ...

Simultaneous unwrapping and low pass filtering of continuous phase maps based on autoregressive phase model and wrapped Kalman filtering

Pramod Rastogi, Rishikesh Dilip Kulkarni

We propose a simultaneous noise filtering and phase unwrapping algorithm. Spatial evolution of phase is modeled as an autoregressive Gaussian Markov random field. Accordingly, phase value at a pixel is related to phase values at surrounding pixels in a pro ...

Reconfigurable Radiofrequency Photonic Filters Based on Soliton Microcombs

Tobias Kippenberg, Camille Sophie Brès, Jianqi Hu, Junqiu Liu, Arslan Sajid Raja, Jijun He

We demonstrate soliton based radiofrequency filters using a 104 GHz Si3N4 microresonator. The filter passband frequencies are widely reconfigured via inherent soliton states of perfect soliton crystals and two-soliton microcombs, without any external pulse ...
