Approaching Terabits per Carrier Metro-Regional Transmission Using Beyond-100GBd Coherent Optics with Propabilistically Shaped DP-64QAM Modulation
摘要： This research work proposed and experimentally demonstrated beyond-100GBd probabilistically-shaped coherent optics that support transmission of ~1.2 Tbps coded line rate and ~0.9 Tbps net bit rate per optical carrier over metro-regional distances. Pursuing next-generation transmission systems having both high capacity approaching Terabits per wavelength and high spectral efficiency requires engineering efforts from different aspects, which may includes the enhancement of analog-to-digital or digital-to-analog (AD/DA) interfaces, the improvement of channel characteristics, and also the realization of better receiver sensitivities, preferably through DSP techniques such as probabilistic shaping (PS). By doing so, this work achieved single-channel and 112.5GHz-WDM transmission of 900G wavelengths over 800 km and 400 km, respectively, which employed PS DP-64QAM modulation format at 105 GBd, yielding a net spectral efficiency of 8.05 bits/s/Hz. Such a high symbol rate was demonstrated using a commercially available DAC unit without band-interleaving. The enhanced optical channel consists of ITU-T G.654 compliant Terawave SLA+ fiber spans with backward-pumped Raman amplifiers. In addition, with the same PS DP-64QAM modulation format and the same enhanced channel, this research work also demonstrated that 400G wavelengths can be delivered over 2,800 km supporting long-haul applications.

Contrast of optical activity and rogue wave propagation in chiral materials
摘要： We report the contrast of optical activity and properties of nonparaxial optical rogue waves for the higher-order nonparaxial chiral nonlinear Schr?dinger (NLS) equation. The latter describes the propagation of ultrashort optical pulses in chiral optical fibers. Both first- and second-order rogue wave solutions are investigated analytically by the modified Darboux transformation (MDT) and numerically by one pseudo-spectral method. The interplay of chiral materials on rogue wave propagation is elucidated, and the results can be applied on optical communication and in others physical systems.

Interferometric investigation of the opto-mechanical and structural properties of iPP/TiO <sub/>2</sub> nanocomposite fibers
摘要： Fibers that missing specific features and functionalities could be innovated and functionalised via nano additives, in particular metal oxides. Titanium oxide (TiO2) nanoparticles have been added to isotactic polypropylene (iPP) to form iPP/TiO2 nanocomposite fibers. Three samples of iPP/TiO2 fibers were extruded at three extrusion speeds 25, 50, and 78 m/min were considered in this study. Mach–Zehnder interferometer was used to assess the changes in the opto-mechanical and geometrical parameters of iPP/TiO2 nanocomposite fibers along the fiber axis. The mechanical drawing device along with Mach–Zehnder interferometer was utilized to stretch the filaments to different draw ratios. The effect of mechanical cold drawing and extrusion speed on the optical and physical characteristics of iPP/TiO2 nanocomposite fibers were determined along the fiber axis. The optical and physical variation along the nanocomposite samples were characterized by measuring their refractive indices, birefringence, refractive index profile along the fiber axis. The diffraction of He–Ne laser beam was used to define the variation of the fiber diameter along the fiber axis through their cross-sectional area and shape. A sample of uniform diameter from neat iPP fibers was used as reference material for studying the variation of the iPP/TiO2 fiber diameter along the fiber axis. As result, the iPP/TiO2 nanocomposite fibers exhibited nonuniform diameters. The dispersion of TiO2 particles in nanocomposite fibers influences the properties' consistency along and across the fiber.

Photodynamic Antimicrobial Cellulosic Material Through Covalent Linkage of Protoporphyrin IX onto Lyocell Fibers
摘要： Here, we report the preparation of porphyrin-functionalized Lyocell fibers according to an azide-alkyne click concept. First, azido-modified Lyocell fibers and alkynylated protoporphyrin building blocks were prepared through alkoxysilane chemistry and Steglich esterification, respectively. Lyocell fibers were pre-activated by swelling in organic solvents in order to increase the accessibility of hydroxyl groups in the subsequent silanization process. The azide-equipped cellulosic matrix reacted with the propargyl groups of the protoporphyrin IX derivative in a copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction (CuAAC), by which protoporphyrin IX was introduced onto the surface of the Lyocell fibers. The modified building blocks and the final functionalized cellulosic materials were comprehensively characterized by FTIR, NMR, UV/Vis spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Photo-bactericidal activity of modified fibers against 2 gram-positive bacteria strains, including Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis, were investigated and compared to those of unmodified and azido-modified Lyocell fibers. The results confirmed the photo-antibacterial activity of the synthesized fibers against both bacteria strains.

TiO2/MoS2 heterojunctions-decorated carbon fibers with broad-spectrum response as weaveable photocatalyst/photoelectrode
摘要： The development of efficient and recyclable photocatalysts with wide spectrum response has drawn much attention. Herein, we prepared TiO2/MoS2 heterostructures on carbon fibers (CFs) by a two-step hydrothermal method. CFs/TiO2/MoS2 exhibits a strong and wide absorption spectrum from ultraviolet to near-infrared region (> 1200 nm). Under the irradiation of visible-light, CFs/TiO2/MoS2 could degrade 97.6% Rhodamine B (RhB) after 100 min, 94.2% Acid Orange 7 (AO7) or 93.4% tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) after 60 min, and 88.7% 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) after 180 min. Moreover, CFs/TiO2/MoS2 bundles can be further weaved into a cloth (area: 4 × 4 cm2). CFs/TiO2/MoS2 cloth as a working electrode exhibits significant photocurrent (7.53 × 10?6 A/cm2) and enhanced photoelectrocatalytic efficiency (100% TC) comparing with only photocatalysis (90.7% TC) or electrocatalysis (47% TC). In particular, CFs/TiO2/MoS2 cloth shows excellent stability. Therefore, CFs/TiO2/MoS2 cloth has great potential to be used as flexible and weaveable photocatalyst/photoelectrode for degrading various pollutants.

FPGA-Based Implementation of an Artificial Neural Network for Measurement Acceleration in BOTDA Sensors
摘要： In recent years, using distributed fiber-optic sensors based on Brillouin scattering, for monitoring pipelines, tunnels, and other constructional structures have gained huge popularity. However, these sensors have a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), which usually increases their measurement error. To alleviate this issue, ensemble averaging is used which improves the SNR but in return increases the measurement time. Reducing the noise by averaging requires hundreds or thousands of scans of the optical fiber; hence averaging is usually responsible for a large percent of the entire system latency. In this paper, we propose a novel method based on artificial neural network for SNR enhancement and measurement acceleration in distributed fiber-optic sensors based on the Brillouin scattering. Our method takes the noisy Brillouin spectrums and improves their SNR by 20 dB, which reduces the measurement time significantly. It also improves the accuracy of the Brillouin frequency shift estimation process and its latency by more than 50% in comparison with the state-of-the-art software and hardware solutions.

Averaged nonlinear equations for multimode fibers valid in all regimes of random linear coupling
摘要： We develop averaged equations to model nonlinear propagation in multimode fibers that are valid in all regimes of random, linear, intermodal coupling. The propagation equations apply to the three existing regimes of linear coupling – the two previously studied all-mode (strong) and mode-group (weak) couplings and the new intermediate coupling regime. The equations are therefore general and can describe nonlinear propagation for all types of intermodal linear coupling that can exist between modes in a fiber supporting multiple spatial modes. Numerical simulations are performed to validate the new averaged propagation equations in the nonlinear regime.

Pattern of Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness Loss in Fetal Alcohol Syndrome: A Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Analysis
摘要： Introduction: Optic disc hypoplasia is a common feature in fetal alcohol syndrome. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the optic disc morphology changes and the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in these patients. Material and Methods: We performed spectral-domain optical coherence tomography in a cohort of 11 patients (22 eyes) with fetal alcohol syndrome and in an age-matched control group. We evaluated optic nerve head parameters (optic disc area and diameter, rim area, cup/disc horizontal and vertical ratios) and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness. Results: Mean optic disc area, rim area and optic disc diameter were, respectively, in fetal alcohol syndrome patients and control subjects: 1.540 ± 0.268 and 1.748 ± 0.326 mm2; 1.205 ± 0.286 and 1.461 ± 0.314 mm2; 1.417 ± 0.124 and 1.501 ± 0.148 mm (p < 0.05). We found no significant differences between groups for cup/disc ratios. Mean retinal nerve fiber layer thickness was significantly lower in fetal alcohol syndrome patients (90.500 ± 9.344 μm) as compared to controls (111.000 ± 7.855 μm) (p < 0.0001). Analysis showed a significant decrease in retinal nerve fiber layer thickness for the superior, inferior and nasal quadrants (p < 0.005). The temporal quadrant showed no significant differences. Discussion: Optic disc area, rim area and optic disc diameters were significantly reduced in fetal alcohol syndrome patients. Although mean peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness was decreased, the temporal quadrant was spared. Conclusion: In addition to a smaller optic disc area/ diameter and rim area, we found a heterogeneous peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness loss in fetal alcohol syndrome patients with sparing of the temporal quadrant. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography may be useful to determine the presence of fetal alcohol syndrome status.

Ag/Tio <sub/>2</sub> /AOF as an Easily Reused and Highly Active Catalyst for Dye Photo-Degradation
摘要： A novel TiO2 loaded with Ag photocatalyst covering on a modified fiber surface was prepared by a coordination-hydrolysis combined with photo-reduction process. The samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS) and ultraviolet visible diffuse reflectance spectra (UV-vis DRS). Compared with powder TiO2, the TiO2/amidoxime fiber (TiO2/AOF) and Ag/TiO2/amidoxime fiber (Ag/TiO2/AOF) exhibited a significant absorption edge of red-shift from ultraviolet to visible light region. The samples’ activities were investigated and the results showed that Ag/TiO2/AOFs exhibit excellent photocatalytic activities-about 99% decomposition rate of Rhodamine B with 100 minutes of visible light irradiation. The catalyst exhibits excellent catalytic activity and is easily recovered and reused.

Machine-Washable Smart Textiles with Photothermal and Antibacterial Activities from Nanocomposite Fibers of Conjugated Polymer Nanoparticles and Polyacrylonitrile
摘要： Smart textiles based on conjugated polymers have been highlighted as promising fabrics that can intelligently respond to environmental stimuli based on the electrical properties of polymer semiconductors. However, there has been limited interest in the photothermal properties of conjugated polymers that can be applied to smart textiles. We prepared nanoparticles by assembling a conjugated polymer with a fatty acid via an emulsion process and nanocomposite fibers by distributing the conjugated polymer nanoparticles in a polyacrylonitrile matrix. We then fabricated the textiles using the fibers. The resulting fabrics based on nanocomposite fibers show a temperature increase to 50 °C in 10 min under white light irradiation because of efficient photothermal conversion by the conjugated polymer light harvester, while the temperature of a pristine polyacrylonitrile fabric increases to only 35 °C. In addition, excellent antimicrobial activity was confirmed by a 99.9% decrease in the populations of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli over 24 h because of the effect of the fatty acid in the nanocomposite films and fabrics. Furthermore, the fabric showed efficient durability after a laundry test, suggesting the usefulness of these smart textiles based on conjugated polymer nanoparticles for practical applications.
