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...

IEEE Global Signal and Information Processing (A PDF file opens in a new tab) The rapid growth of streaming video and the heterogeneous nature of cloud-based applications place a burden on optical networks that form the internet. To provide a seamless user experience,...

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....

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...

    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...

Congratulations to Eric Diebold and Brandon Buckley whose work was published in Nature Photonics! Their work was also featured in Nature Methods link pdf. Fluorescence imaging is the most widely used method for unveiling the molecular composition of biological...

Wiley link pdf Congratulations to Peter DeVore and David Borlaug whose work was selected for the rear cover of Physica Status Solidi Rapid Research Letters! Modulation instability is a universal nonlinear process wherein a weak perturbation grows on an otherwise quiet...

Interactive Time-Stretch Camera Design Calculator Goes Live link Serial time-encoded amplified imaging/microscopy (STEAM) is a fast real-time optical imaging method that provides ~10 MHz frame rate, ~100 ps shutter speed, and ~30 dB ( 1000) optical image gain. As of...

IOP Science link pdf Rogue events are statistically rare but carry a huge impact. Occurring in everyday contexts such as finance, network traffic, ocean waves and elsewhere. Launching intense pulses into silicon waveguides results in supercontinuum generation, strong...
