Versatile spectral modulation of a broadband source for digital holographic microscopy

Christophe Moser, Tristan Colomb, Gaël Nardin

We demonstrate the potential of spatial light modulators for the spectral control of a broadband source in digital holographic microscopy. Used in a ‘pulse-shaping’ geometry, the spatial light modulator provides a versatile control over the bandwidth and w ...

Padoc: Enabling social networking in proximity

Denis Gillet, Adrian Christian Holzer, Jonny Quarta, Sven Reber

Apps supporting social networking in proximity are gaining momentum as they enable both augmenting face-to-face interaction with a digital channel (e.g. classroom interaction systems) and augmenting digital interaction by providing a local real life feelin ...

Electromagnetic compatibility of power line communication systems

Ana Vukicevic

The power system has been used for communication purposes for many decades, although it was mainly the power utility companies that used low bit rates for control and monitoring purposes. In the last ten years, however, the deregulation of the power and te ...

Diversity embedding for broadband communication

Sanket Dusad

Given uncertainty in environment, a conservative approach is to design for the worst case, leading to a game-theoretic situation where the environment is controlled by an adversary. However, in many cases, the uncertainty arises from randomness, not an adv ...

Protocol overheads in networks

Prasenjit Dey

To increase network capacity, it may not be sufficient to just increase the capacity of the networks. It may be necessary to reduce the network overhead bits, to leave more room for the data bits, to increase the network capacity. As network functions beco ...
