Robust and precise steerable FSO links over dynamic traffic play a key role in the reconfigurable optical wireless DC inter-rack networks. In this work, we propose and demonstrate a reconfigurable 10 Gbps FSO system incorporating a smart beam acquisition and tracking mechanism based on gimbal-less two-axis MEMS micro-mirror and retro-reflective film marked aperture. The fast MEMS-based beam acquisition switches laser beam of FSO terminal from one rack to the next for reconfigurable networking, and the precise beam tracking makes FSO device auto-correct any misalignments in real-time. We present the measured optical power loss and b it e rror rate performance of steerable FSO links in various directions. Experimental results suggest that the MEMS based beam steerable FSO links hold merit for future reconfigurable wireless DC networks.","PeriodicalId":6657,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Photonics Conference (IPC) Part II","volume":"9 1","pages":"127-128"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89280035","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}

By physically expanding a biological specimen embedded in a dense swellable polymer, one can achieve an effective increase in resolution of «5X using an ordinary fluorescence microscope. The probes used for immunofluorescence in ExM are standard fluorescent conjugated antibodies and proteins. The photosensitivity of these fluorophores limit their usable lifetime and emission brightness. These limitations significantly reduce their effectiveness in ExM since the 5X lateral expansion results in an ≈125X reduction in signal per focal volume. In addition, traditional fluorophores have broad excitation and emission spectra that limit multiplex imaging to the number of spectra that can “fit” into the spectral bandwidth, largely comprising visible wavelengths.","PeriodicalId":6657,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Photonics Conference (IPC) Part II","volume":"2 1","pages":"23-24"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79125898","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}
