When the signals of interest are sparse, compressive sensing (CS) provides a sub-Nyquist sampling strategy with potential size, weight, and power savings. The critical element in a CS receiver is the device that produces the wideband CS measurement matrix (MM), a MxN matrix with M << N satisfying certain properties [1]. We have shown that passive optical speckle in multimode waveguides provides excellent MMs for CS. The M rows of the MM are obtained from M photodetectors placed at different locations within the output speckle pattern. A range of algorithms can be used to recover the sparse input signal from the resulting measurement vector. We have experimentally demonstrated two speckle-based CS systems: (1) a real-time system with M = 16 implemented using multimode fiber (MMF) that recovers RF frequency, amplitude, and phase, and (2) a simplified spectrometer system implemented using a multimode planar waveguide on a silicon photonic chip that detects only RF frequency and amplitude.","PeriodicalId":314151,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Photonics Conference (IPC)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132235602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
