The fiber exhibits a zero dispersion slope near 1550 nm, allowing phase-matched FWM over entire S, C, and L bands and thus efficient generation of signal and idler photons. A comparative theoretical study between conventional dispersion-shifted fiber (DSF) and DF-HNLF highlights the spectral range differences in the generation of photon pairs. We measure coincidence counts at three different sets of wavelengths. To study the effects of Raman scattering, which acts as noise source in these types of fibers, we calculate the correlation <inline-formula><tex-math>$g^{(2)}(tau)$</tex-math></inline-formula> at different pump powers. We use stimulated emission tomography to characterize the generation of photon pairs across the S, C, and L bands.

Traditional enhancement techniques mainly focus on illumination adjustments and often fall short in addressing the inherent trade-off between boosting brightness and suppressing noise. Moreover, many existing methods assume expert-level noise management during image capture, thereby overlooking the crucial frequency-dependent characteristics of noise distribution. Our observations reveal that while simultaneously enhancing brightness and reducing noise is challenging, noise intensity indeed varies across different frequency layers. In low-light images, the noise predominantly appears as Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) concentrated in the high-frequency domain. Inspired by this phenomenon, we introduce a novel model based on the principles of decomposition and recomposition. Extensive experiments conducted on several baseline low-light datasets—including LOL-v1, LOL-v2, MEF, LIME, DICM, and NPE—demonstrate that our approach not only outperforms the latest methods quantitatively and qualitatively but also excels in handling real and complex low-light scenarios. Furthermore, our method consistently produces superior visual outcomes compared to existing techniques.","PeriodicalId":13204,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Photonics Journal","volume":"17 2","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10884023","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143564224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although some infrared SPADs can operate at room temperature, thermoelectric coolers are still essential, increasing complexity (operation and device packaging) and power consumption. Passively-cooled SPADs could be realized by avalanche materials exhibiting better temperature stability. A promising candidate is the InGaAs/AlGaAsSb SPAD, because the AlGaAsSb multiplier is highly stable with temperature. In this work, we report single photon detection performance of InGaAs/AlGaAsSb SPADs at room temperature and 1550 nm wavelength using multiple devices for each type of measurements. With 0.1 photons per pulse and 15 μm diameter devices, the maximum SPDE was 14% at DCR of 30 Mc.s−1, respectively. The best NEP value is around an order of magnitude higher than InGaAs/InP SPADs, but are comparable to InGaAs/InAlAs SPADs. Within the relevant overbias range and repetition rate up to 1 MHz, the DCR was unaffected by afterpulsing. Timing jitters were as low as 150 ps, matching InGaAs/InP SPADs. The results of this work are much more competitive than the previous report of InGaAs/AlGaAsSb SPAD, which required cooling to 200 K to detect single photons. Further research could help InGaAs/AlGaAsSb SPADs progressing towards passively-cooled single photon detectors for room temperature operation.","PeriodicalId":13204,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Photonics Journal","volume":"17 2","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10884001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143512877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, severe performance limitations, including line-of-sight dependency, signal attenuation caused by obstacles, and restricted coverage, present a major challenge for the development of VLP. This article constructs an LED array-based hybrid indoor positioning system. An innovative LED array beacon is developed to simultaneously transmit coordinate and graphical information. A hybrid receiving structure, comprising an image sensor (IS) and a photodetector (PD), is constructed along with a dedicated hybrid positioning algorithm. This algorithm leverages image processing techniques to track the target trajectory, converts light intensity to identify the identification of LED, which finally resolves the target's precise world coordinates. The system's performance was validated through three experimental trials. The results demonstrate that the proposed beacon effectively covers the entire positioning area, achieving an average positioning error of 8.32 cm and a maximum positioning distance of 6.8 m. These results suggest that the proposed system provides a robust and efficient solution for precise indoor positioning applications in next-generation wireless communication networks.","PeriodicalId":13204,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Photonics Journal","volume":"17 2","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10886945","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143455329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed scheme solely necessitates vector length calculation via addition and subtraction operations and obviates the necessity of employing a direct digital synthesis (DDS) module, in contrast to conventional ABC schemes. By this means, the proposed scheme demonstrates reduced algorithmic complexity and a faster convergence rate, requiring only 0.3∼0.5 s to track and lock from a random bias point to a linear bias point, about 30 times faster than current commercial products. Moreover, unlike the commonly used single-tone dither signal (STDS), the PRBS-based dither signal in this scheme is broadband and has lower power spectral density and peak power at the same power level. Therefore, it not only induces lower nonlinear distortion in the transmitted signal but also has strong noise resistance, contributing to good control accuracy and robustness. The performance of DVMM-based ABC and STDS-based ABC is evaluated in 40/20 Gbaud 16/64 QAM coherent optical transmission systems, showing that DVMM can effectively reduce the bit error rate (BER) and has superior transmission performance.","PeriodicalId":13204,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Photonics Journal","volume":"17 2","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10882879","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143518846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
