Using a controlled fog chamber, we test and compare the attenuation characteristics of a six different wavelength LED FSO system, with a He-Ne laser system as reference. We find that Red LED system has the least attenuation due to fog.","PeriodicalId":337671,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Photonics Society Summer Topical Meeting Series (SUM)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131898122","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}

In this work, an optical Ising machine that is based on multi-core fiber lasers (MCFL), which play the role of slave lasers, is demonstrated. Specifically, we use a 19-core Yb-doped fiber lasers in the experimental setups. The system is very compact with the length of the multi-core fiber is of about few cm, and the fiber diameter is of 120-micron. In general, the number of cores can be scaled up to a very large number, hundreds or even higher. 2 spatial light modulators, SLM1 and SLM2 is proposed for polarization control of the couplings from master to slave lasers, and to control the mutual coupling among slave lasers corresponding to Zeeman term, and mutual coupling term, respectively, in Ising Hamiltonian.","PeriodicalId":337671,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Photonics Society Summer Topical Meeting Series (SUM)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133688486","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}

Visible Light Communication (VLC) based on Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) for light emission and reception provides an attractive and economical communication platform as many aspects of networking can be handled in software. We present a software-centric approach that supports networking for a wide range of nodes - nodes that include only simple single LEDs (such as wearables, toys, or consumer electronics) as well as nodes with LED light bulbs that run Linux and provide a VLC communication infrastructure. One of the benefits of the software-centric approach is easy integration into distributed applications - a necessary condition for a pervasive communication infrastructure for the IoT that requires a wide range of services such as time, localization, or authentication.","PeriodicalId":337671,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Photonics Society Summer Topical Meeting Series (SUM)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114944519","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}
