First ever demonstration of image compression at the speed of light

Optical Data Compression in Time Stretch Imaging PLOS ONE | DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0125106 Big data not only brings opportunity, but also a challenge in biomedical and scientific instruments, whose acquisition and processing units are overwhelmed by a torrent of...

Coherent Time-Stretch Transform for Near-Field Spectroscopy

IEEE Photonics Journal link IEEE Photonics Journal PDF The time-stretch transform slows down broadband optical signals for capture by electronic instruments, and has brought forth MHz-rate imagers, OCT systems, and spectrometers, as well as photonically-enhanced ADCs....

First demonstration of optical real-time data compression

Applied Physics letters link Applied Physics letters PDF We experimentally demonstrate the first instrument for compressing the time-bandwidth product of analog signals in real-time. By performing self-adaptive stretch, this technology enables digitizers to capture...

New Compression Method Reduces Big Data Bottleneck

    Big Data refers generally to vast amounts of information collected by networked devices and systems. In this domain, data capture is technologically simple and the challenge lies in the post-capture analytics and transmission. Big Data is also prominent...
