Distributed analyses using distinct classes of Brillouin scatterings in optical fibres

Desmond Chow Ming Chia

Brillouin scattering is an interaction between light and sound in a material. This inelastic light scattering had been observed in the first optical fibres that were used in cross-continent communication. Via Brillouin scattering, the guided light wave in ...

Experimental demonstration of broadband Lorentz non-reciprocity in an integrable photonic architecture based on Mach-Zehnder modulators

Christophe Marcel Georges Galland, Yang Liu, Qi Li, Ran Ding

Lorentz reciprocity is a direct consequence of Maxwell equations governing the propagation of light in passive linear media with symmetric permittivity and permeability tensors. Here, we demonstrate the first active optical isolator and circulator implemen ...

Method And Device For Removing Echo In A Multi-Channel Audio Signal

Christof Faller

Acoustic echo control and noise suppression is an important part of any "handsfree" telecommunication system, such as telephony or audio or video conferencing systems. Bandwidth and computational complexity constraints have prevented that stereo or multi-c ...
