Described here is the study of lambda-b polarization in the LHC-ATLAS experiment I have done with Prof. Homer Neal this summer. Our work has three main focuses, including predicting lambda polarization from quark-quark scattering models applied to p-p elastic collisions, modeling lambda polarization saturation, and simulating lambda-b events and polarization measurements in ATLAS using the λ0J/...

We introduce a dual-channel, polarization-sensitive holographic phase imaging system for fingerprint biometrics. From two orthogonal polarization channels, we extracted fingerprint phase images, showing unique features that are detectable only in one of the polarization channels. OCIS codes: (090.1995) Digital Holography; (260.5430) Polarization.

In order to compare the performances of three transmission schemes of keyinterest able to reach the maximum diversity order, guarantee of robust transmission, we used a dual-polarization channel model to take into account polarization diversity and transmit/receive correlation. These schemes under study were i)two systems using full channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter side (Tx-CS...

Line-of-sight (LOS) delay estimation in multipath scenarios is a central problem in global navigation satellite systems (GNSS). Deterministic channel models can be used to describe the multipath environment, but this usually requires the estimation of several nuisance parameters. In order to avoid this effort, stochastic channel models can be used. In this case the multipath statistics have to ...

We propose an adaptive channel estimation (CE) method for zero-guard-interval (ZGI) coherent optical (CO)-OFDM systems, and demonstrate its performance in a single channel 28 Gbaud polarization-division multiplexed ZGI CO-OFDM experiment with only 1% OFDM processing overhead. We systematically investigate its robustness against various transmission impairments including residual chromatic dispe...

In this work we will address the transformation of the polarization state of single photons during the transmission along a Space channel and the measures to correct them in order to accomplish Quantum Communication (QC) between Space and Earth. An open issue in space scale QC is the preservation of polarization states by the telescope and all the involved moving optical components, as well as ...

Coherent detection with polarization division multiplexing (PDM) has emerged as the key technology enabler for 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps networks because it significantly increases the spectral efficiency of each channel and allows each channel to transmit at a high bit rate with relatively small optical bandwidth. Consequently, 40 Gbps, 100 Gbps, or even 160 Gbps channels can be transmitted over ex...

For traditional dark channel prior (DCP) imaging through haze environments, intensity information acts as the carrier to acquire reflective character of dehazed target image. We introduce polarization auxiliary into DCP process for achieving better performance that can improve detection or tracking. In this paper, a system with split-amplitude structure is designed enable real-time acquisition ...
