We propose a novel monitoring technique based on multi-mode transmission reflection analysis for a long-reach few-mode fiber (FMF) based mode division multiplexing system. By launching unmodulated continuous-wave optical light modes into the corresponding spatial modes of the FMF, the transmitted and reflected or backscattered optical powers can be measured and quantitatively analyzed to accurately characterize and locate the fault. The influences of the capture fraction, attenuation coefficient, and Rayleigh backscattering coefficient are discussed, and simulation results show that the proposed method can realize the fault location of the FMF link. Moreover, considering the influence of mode crosstalk on localization accuracy, it is clear that using the monitoring combination modes LP and LP gives a high precision of 3.58 m.

Free space optical communication (FSOC) technology can be used for data transmission between ocean islands as backup wireless communication networks to cope with traffic surges and emergencies. In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate the results of a 24-h real-time single-wavelength 2.5-Gbps FSOC between two islands 29 km apart at a low altitude with low complexity.

They exhibit favorable emission properties, which include a low quantum defect and compatibility with cost-effective high-power pump diodes. While being strongly beneficial for efficiency, the low quantum defect is a challenge for operation in the few-cycle regime.

Insects' flight is imbued with endless mysteries, offering valuable inspiration to the flapping-wing robots. Particularly, the multi-mode wingbeat motion such as flapping, sweeping and twisting in coordination presents advantages in promoting unsteady aerodynamics and enhancing lift force. To achieve the flapping-twisting-sweeping motion capability, this paper proposes an at-scale three-degree-of-freedom (3-DOF) mechanism driven by three piezoelectric actuators, which consists of three four-bar mechanisms and a parallel spherical mechanism.

This has led to a growing demand for alternative solutions that can better fulfill these requirements. Visible light communication (VLC) has recently gained increasing research interest as a potential complementary technology for beyond-5 G communication, offering advantages such as unlicensed and abundant spectrum, high bandwidth and cost-efficiency.

While this capability holds promise for a variety of applications, including data transfer, neural endoscopy, and multi-mode optical fiber-based imaging, conventional deep learning methods struggle to capture the nuances of light propagation, leading to weak generalization and limited reconstruction performance. To address this limitation, we investigated the non-locality present in the reconstructed images and discovered that conventional deep learning methods rely on specific features extracted from the training dataset rather than meticulously reconstructing each pixel.
