In this paper, we propose a Rayleigh backscattering (RB) noise mitigation scheme based on the use of real-time heterodyne receiver for loop-back wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network (WDM-PON). Heterodyne detection has been utilized to increase the upstream receiver sensitivity, while an electro-absorption modulator (EAM) is used to simultaneously turn heterodyning bipolar signal into single polar signal and mitigate accumulated carrier RB noise. With the help of the nonlinear negative-slope transfer function of EAM, low frequency interference noise is suppressed successfully. RB noise mitigation performance is studied over 45-km single mode fiber (SMF) transmission, and the optical-signal-to-Rayleigh-noise-ratio (OSRNR) is reduced to 15.6 dB, when bias voltage of EAM is at -4 V. Through utilizing this real-time heterodyne receiver in single fiber loop-back structure, upstream error free transmission is realized with receiver sensitivity of -25 dBm.

Real-time and non-invasive measurements of tissue concentrations of oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) and deoxyhemoglobin (HbR) are invaluable for research and clinical use. Frequency-domain near-infrared spectroscopy (FD-NIRS) enables non-invasive measurement of these chromophore concentrations in human tissue. We present a small form factor, dual-wavelength, miniaturized FD-NIRS instrument for absolute optical measurements, built around a custom application-specific integrated circuit and a dual-slope/self-calibrating (DS/SC) probe.

Compact laser interferometers with large dynamic range are one of the core emerging tools to improve low frequency performance in gravitational wave detectors by providing local displacement sensing with sub 1 precision. Strong sinusoidal frequency modulations are used in such laser interferometers to create heterodyne-like photodetector signals from which the phase and other parameters, such as the absolute distance, can be extracted. The nested sinusoidal function in such signals is a challenge for the real-time parameter estimation in low-noise applications.

How to quickly measure and monitor the IC-XT online for an MCF-based space division multiplexing (SDM) system is of special importance. In this paper, we introduce the technology of auxiliary management and control channel (AMCC) to online monitor the IC-XT of MCF, in which the unique advantage of low-frequency auxiliary management and control signal is fully utilized with the limited influence on high-speed data transmission.

Microplastic pollution has become a global environmental problem that cannot be ignored. Raman spectroscopy has been widely used for microplastics detection because it can be performed in real-time and is non-destructive. Conventional detection techniques have had weak signals and low signal-to-noise ratios (SNR).
