In this paper, we report a study of the features of polarized and unpolarized narrow-band amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) in a low-doped erbium fiber at 976-nm pumping. We demonstrate that ASE noise can be treated as a train of Gaussian-like pulses with random magnitudes, widths, and inter-pulse intervals. ASE noise can also provide a statistical analysis of these three parameters. We also present the data that reveal ASE noise's role in optical spectrum broadening through self-phase modulation of light propagating in a communication fiber. In particular, the data show that the ASE noise derivative defines the broadening's spectral shape.

The rapid growth of data-intensive services has driven the need for high-capacity optical networks. C+L band optical communication systems have emerged as a potential solution by extending the operational bandwidth. However, the wider spectrum introduces significant stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) effects that impact signal power profile, Kerr nonlinearity, and amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise.

This article reports a novel design of a compact tunable resonance filter with a highly extinguished and ultra-broad out-of-band rejection for on-chip amplified spontaneous noise suppression from pump lasers highly demanding for generating pure/entangled photon pairs via χ process in a CMOS compatible silicon photonics technology platform. The proposed device is designed with two identically apodized distributed grating structures for guided Fabry-Perot resonant transmissions in a silicon-on-insulator rib waveguide structure. The device design parameters are optimized by theoretical simulation for a low insertion loss singly-resonant transmission peak at a desired wavelength.

Despite its importance for regulating gene expression, nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) remains poorly understood. Here, we extend the findings of a previous landmark study that proposed several factors associated with NMD efficiency using matched genome and transcriptome data from The Cancer Genome Atlas Program (TCGA) by incorporating additional data including Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx), gnomAD, and metrics for mutational constraints. Factors affecting NMD efficiency are analyzed using an allele-specific expression (ASE)-based measure to reduce noise caused by random variations.

In functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of the blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) contrast, gradient-recalled echo (GRE) acquisitions offer high sensitivity but suffer from susceptibility-induced signal loss and lack specificity to microvasculature. In contrast, spin echo (SE) acquisitions provide improved specificity at the cost of reduced sensitivity. This study introduces Asymmetric Spin Echo Multi-Echo Echo Planar Imaging (ASEME-EPI), a technique designed to combine the benefits of both GRE and SE for high-field preclinical fMRI.

Spatial transcriptomics technologies permit the study of the spatial distribution of RNA at near-single-cell resolution genome-wide. However, the feasibility of studying spatial allele-specific expression (ASE) from these data remains uncharacterized. Here, we introduce spASE, a computational framework for detecting and estimating spatial ASE.
