  Abstract:The emergence of portable devices and online social networks (OSNs) has changed the traditional video consumption paradigm by simultaneously providing multi-screen video watching, social networking engagement, etc. One challenge is to design a unified solution to support ever-growing features while guarantee system performance. In this demo, we design and implement a multi-screen technology to provide multi-screen interactions over wide area network (WAN). Furthermore, we incorporate face-detection technology into our system to identify users' bio-features and employ a machine learning based traffic scheduling mechanism to improve the system performance. © 2014 Authors.

  Abstract:After analysis the collecting methods of near backscatter light in laser fusion, a metal ellipsoidal mirror was proposed to collect the near backscatter light of SG-III laser facility. Then, the method to determine the parameters of ellipsoidal mirror was discussed. The mirror is composed of four pieces, which makes it entering into the target chamber easily. The mirror is made of super hard aluminum, and a triangular weight reducing slot is designed on the back of the mirror to reduce its weight and improve its mechanical stability. The overall structure of the optical system was introduced, and the light gathering performance was simulated using optical software. The key issues in ellipsoidal mirror design, including material selection and structure selection, were analyzed. In order to avoid rework, a semiconductor laser array was developed specially to test the surface in design processing. The stray lights in the system were analyzed, physical isolation, optical absorbing and optical filters were used to control them. The ring ellipsoidal mirror with a weight of 48 kg has an outside diameter of 1200 mm, an inside diameter of 400 mm, the maximum off-axis magnitude of 1411 mm, and the maximum thickness of 67 mm. The image spot size is about 1.2 mm within a field of view 5 mm. This system mentioned above can offer a reference for near backscatter diagnostic in inertial confinement fusion research.

  Abstract:A novel distributed fiber optics sensor used for road vehicle information collection system was proposed. Optical fiber was fixed on the road surface to be used as the sensing media. The vehicle information such as speed, vehicle type, vehicle weight and traffic flow can be obtained. To increase the sensitivity of such sensor, an optical Fabry-Perot (F-P) fiber interference was used. Sensing optical fiber was designed to be with a metal coating for fiber protection and high performance. Experiment results show that such distributed fiber optics sensor may be with a high performance in transportation area without digging when it is installed on the road surface. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

  Abstract:We report an integrated photon pair source based on a CMOScompatible microring resonator that generates multiple, simultaneous, and independent photon pairs at different wavelengths in a frequency comb compatible with fiber communication wavelength division multiplexing channels (200 GHz channel separation) and with a linewidth that is compatible with quantum memories (110 MHz). It operates in a self-locked pump configuration, avoiding the need for active stabilization, making it extremely robust even at very low power levels. © 2014 Optical Society of America.

  Abstract:With the rapid increase of GPS/GNSS receivers being deployed and operated in China, real-time GPS data from nearly a thousand sites are available at the National Center for Space Weather, China Meteorology Administration. However, it is challenging to generate a high-quality regional total electron content (TEC) map with the traditional two-dimensional (2-D) retrieval scheme because a large horizontal gradient has been reported over east-south Asia due to the northern equatorial ionization anomaly. We developed an Ionosphere Data Assimilation Analysis System (IDAAS), which is described in this study, using an International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) model as the background and applying a Kalman filter for updated observations. The IDAAS can reconstruct a three-dimensional ionosphere with the GPS slant TEC. The inverse slant TEC correlates well with observations both for GPS sites involved in the reconstruction and sites that are not involved. Based on the IDAAS, simulations were performed to investigate the deviation relative to the slant-to-vertical conversion (STV). The results indicate that the relative deviation induced by slant-to-vertical conversion may be significant in certain instances, and the deviation varies from 0% to 40% when the elevation decreases from 90° to 15°, while the relative IDAAS deviation is much smaller and varies from -5% to 15% without an elevation dependence. Compared with 'true TEC' map derived from the model, there is large difference in STV TEC map but no obvious discrepancy in IDAAS map. Generally, the IDAAS TEC map is much closer to the "true TEC" than is STV TEC map is. It is suggested that three-dimensional inversion technique is necessary for GPS observations of low elevation at an equatorial anomaly region, wherein the high horizontal electron density gradient may produce significant slant-to-vertical deviations using the two-dimensional STV inversion method. © 2014 COSPAR.

  Abstract:We demonstrated a new regime of operation for ultrafast mode-locked lasers that we termed "burst-mode" modelocking.
