We propose a cost-effective coherent passive optical network (PON) by employing the linear silicon Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) with computationally-efficient digital signal processing (DSP). The proposed PON adopts the intensity modulation and coherent detection scheme with discrete multi-tone (DMT) signal to achieve both high spectral efficiency (SE) and receiver sensitivity. Meanwhile, a digital carrier regeneration (DCR) method is proposed to further reduce the optical carrier-to-signal power ratio of intensity modulated DMT signal based on silicon MZM, which will significantly increase the achievable system power budget, especially when a high-order modulation format is adopted. No carrier frequency offset and phase estimations are needed in the receiver, which greatly reduces the complexity for both laser and DSP in coherent detection. Finally, a 10-Gb/s/ch uplink transmission is experimentally demonstrated using the proposed DCR method over 20-km standard single-mode fiber (SSMF), achieving about -44dBm sensitivity under the 7% forward-error-correction (FEC) limit of bit error ratio (BER) = 3.8x10(-3).

Purpose: To investigate the 12-month outcomes of ziv-aflibercept for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) in eyes previously treated with aflibercept.

Methods: Retrospective chart review of patients with nAMD previously treated with aflibercept for at least 12 months and subsequently transitioned to ziv-aflibercept between January 1, 2019, and December 31, 2022, for a period of at least 12 months. Participants were identified, and their clinical and imaging information was extracted from our electronic health records system.

Background: Bipolar disorder (BD) is a psychiatric condition with significant health implications due to its comorbidities, premature mortality, and functional impairments. Despite extensive research on treatment and rehabilitation, gaps remain in diagnosis and monitoring. Therefore, there is a need for biomarkers to identify individuals at risk for disease progression or excacerbation.

We experimentally demonstrate a cost-effective dual-polarization quadrature phase shift keying (DP-QPSK) coherent passive optical network (PON) system that operates at 100 Gbits/s/λ. This system utilizes distributed feedback lasers (DFBs) and a carrier recovery algorithm facilitated by a bifunctional frequency-domain pilot tone (FPT). To reduce costs in coherent PON implementations, low-cost DFBs are employed as the sole light sources, replacing the more expensive external cavity lasers (ECLs) at both the optical line terminal (OLT) and the optical network units (ONUs).

A single-exposure method for complex amplitude reconstruction in beam quality analysis is proposed, utilizing lens-free coherent amplitude modulation imaging (LF-CAMI). This approach leverages a partially saturated diffraction pattern to reconstruct the complex amplitude of a measured laser beam. The corresponding intensity images near the beam waist along the axial direction are determined directly via the Fresnel diffraction formula.
