Selected mapping (SLM) is a suitable scheme, which can solve the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) problem. Recently, many researchers have concentrated on reducing the computational complexity of the SLM schemes. One of the low complexity SLM schemes is the Class III SLM scheme which uses only one inverse fast fourier transform (IFFT) operation for generating one orthogonal frequency division...

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is high speed data transmission scheme. It has got various advantages like easy and efficient in dealing with multi-path, robust against narrow-band interference, supports various modulation schemes and perfect for MIMO etc. In spite of having various advantages it has got one major drawback of high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR). One of the...

Abstract Peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction is still an important issue in the next-generation mobile communication networks using higher frequency bands. Recently, we have proposed a PAPR reduction technique called blind selected mapping (blind SLM), which does not require side-information transmission and is able to reduce the PAPR effectively without bit-error rate (BER) degradatio...

In close collaboration with four German universities, we have developed tutorials for experiments based on a transmissive liquid-crystal spatial light modulator (SLM). The experimental tutorials are grouped in six project modules, which cover a wide range of phenomena and have different levels of difficulty. At a basic level, students can investigate the SLM in its probably most well-known appl...

We present a microscope that has the capability of adapting to various object characteristics by applying different filters in the Fourier plane of the imaging path. To this end we use a spatial light modulator and display different computer generated holograms. This allows us to realize several phase contrast techniques, dynamic aberration correction, pseudostereoscopic microscopy and confocal...

A large-scale, high speed, high resolution, phase-only microelectromechanical system (MEMS) spatial light modulator (SLM) has been fabricated. Using polysilicon thin film technology, the micro mirror array offers significant improvement in SLM speed in comparison to alternative modulator technologies. Pixel opto-electromechanical characterization has been quantified experimentally on large scal...

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) and Selective Laser Melting (SLM) are parent layer manufacturing processes that allow generating complex 3D parts by consolidating layers of powder material on top of each other. Consolidation is obtained by processing the selected areas using the thermal energy supplied by a focused laser beam. In SLS partial fusion of powder particles takes place, followed by a...

Laboratory and field demonstration results obtained as part of the DARPA-sponsored Coherent Communications, Imaging and Targeting (CCIT) program are reviewed. The CCIT concept uses a Phase Conjugation Engine based on a quadrature receiver array, a hologram processor and a spatial light modulator (SLM) for highspeed, digital beam control. Progress on the enabling MEMS SLM, being developed by a c...

The applicability of Flege’s Speech Learning Model (SLM) to simultaneous bilinguals is examined in related experiments on the acquisition of the production and perception of the voicing contrast in simultaneous French-English bilinguals. The results show that the SLM can account for the data providing account is taken of the degree of bilinguals’ exposure to each language.
