We developed a fused fiber coupler (FFC) capable of multiplexing wavelengths in the range of 795 nm and 2 μm. A simple 2D simulation model to calculate the pretaper length for matching the propagation constants in the coupling region was established. Based on the numerical data, we fabricated an asymmetric FFC consisting of two different fibers with single-mode guidance for the respective wavelength, achieving a transmission of 90% in the signal fiber for both wavelengths. In order to demonstrate the application, we integrated the FFC into a core pumped thulium-doped fiber amplifier.

Optimizing automated photo identification for population assessments.

Several legal acts mandate that management agencies regularly assess biological populations. For species with distinct markings, these assessments can be conducted noninvasively via capture-recapture and photographic identification (photo-ID), which involves processing considerable quantities of photographic data. To ease this burden, agencies increasingly rely on automated identification (ID) algorithms.

This study delves into the feasibility of leveraging quasi-static component (QSC) generation during primary Lamb wave propagation to discern subtle alterations in the interfacial properties of a two-layered plate. Unlike the second-harmonic generation of Lamb waves, QSC generation doesn't necessitate precise phase-velocity matching but rather requires an approximate matching of group velocities to ensure the emergence of cumulative growth effects. This unique characteristic empowers the QSC-based nonlinear ultrasonic method to effectively surmount the limitations associated with inherent dispersion and multimode traits of Lamb wave propagation.

Article Synopsis
  • Accurate 3D information estimation from images is crucial for computer vision, and while binocular stereo vision is a common approach, it faces challenges with baseline distance affecting reliability.
  • This research proposes a new method that progressively increases the baseline in multiocular vision, introducing a rectification technique that significantly reduces distortion errors in the images.
  • The method enhances disparity estimation accuracy by 20% for multiocular images and demonstrates superior performance through extensive evaluations against existing methods.

Modeling dispersion of circumferential waves in underwater targets with spectral methods.

The dispersion of circumferential waves propagating around cylindrical and spherical underwater targets with an arbitrary number of elastic and fluid layers is modeled using the spectral collocation method. The underlying differential equations are discretized by Chebyshev interpolation and the corresponding differentiation matrices, and the calculation of the dispersion curves is transformed into a generalized eigenvalue problem. Furthermore, for targets in infinite fluid, the perfect matched layer is used to emulate the Sommerfeld radiation condition.

Medical large language models are vulnerable to data-poisoning attacks.

Nat Med

Department of Neurosurgery, NYU Langone Health, New York, NY, USA.

The adoption of large language models (LLMs) in healthcare demands a careful analysis of their potential to spread false medical knowledge. Because LLMs ingest massive volumes of data from the open Internet during training, they are potentially exposed to unverified medical knowledge that may include deliberately planted misinformation. Here, we perform a threat assessment that simulates a data-poisoning attack against The Pile, a popular dataset used for LLM development.
