  • Third order correlation function is to be advantageous to detect unique features embedded in various random signals that are undtectable with second order correlation or power spectrum. In order paper, we will introduce a real time third order correlator which consists of a laser light source, an acousto-optical modulator with signal controlling circuitry, and a CCD camera connected to computer for image processing. With this correlator, the third order correlation pattern of a signal can be immediately obtained at the camera due to parallelnature of optical computing.

  • Three optical fuzzy calculating modules, MAX/MIN, NOT/THROUGH, and SUP/THROUGH operating modules, are proposed. The MAX/MIN operating on inputted 2 membership functions. The NOT/THROUGH operating module calculates the complement of the membership function. The SUP/THROUGH operating module outputs an image representing the supremum (least upper bound) of the membership function. The THROUGH operation passes the image of the inputted membership function from the entrance to the exit. This paper demonstrates that these modules can output the image into which the modules transform inputted images on the basis of operation on fuzzy logic.

  • A computer program for computing the edge response function(ERF) from the optical transfer function( 0TF) was developed. The ERFs of un-aberrated optical system and aberrated optical system were studied by the use of that program. We calculated the ERFs of the optical systems with a single aberration and with a combined aberration. In sagittal case, the ERE of the optical system with defocus or spherical aberration was worse than that with coma. In tagential case, the ERF of the optical system with coma was worse than that with defocusing or spherical aberraion. Both the shape and the position of ERF were varied with coma, but only the position of ERF was varied with distortion, in tangential case.

  • We present a new way to create a thermally stable, highly strained germanium (Ge) optical resonator using a novel Ge-on-dual-insulators substrate. Instead of using a conventional way to undercut the oxide layer of a Ge-on-single-insulator substrate for inducing tensile strain in germanium, we use thin aluminum oxide as a sacrificial layer. By eliminating the air gap underneath the active germanium layer, we achieve an optically insulating, thermally conductive, and highly strained Ge resonator structure that is critical for a practical germanium laser. Using Raman spectroscopy and photoluminescence experiments, we prove that the novel geometry of our Ge resonator structure provides a significant improvement in thermal stability while maintaining good optical confinement.

  • The Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) has been considered to be one of the most promising solutions for the implementation of the Fiber To The Home (FTTH) technology designed to ameliorate the "last mile" bandwidth bottleneck. In the EPON network, an efficient and fair bandwidth allocation is a very important issue, since multiple optical network units (ONUs) share a common upstream channel for packet transmission. To increase bandwidth utilization, an EPON system must provide a way to adaptively allocate the upstream bandwidth among multiple ONUs in accordance to their bandwidth demands and requirements. We present a new hybrid method that satisfies these requirements. The advantage of our method comes from the consideration of application-specific bandwidth allocation and the minimization of the idle bandwidth. Our simulation results show that our proposed method outperforms existing dynamic bandwidth allocation methods in terms of bandwidth utilization.

  • This paper realizes control of the motion of a swimming robot fish in order to implement an underwater robot fish aquarium. And it implements positional control of a two-axis trajectory path of the robot fish in the aquarium. The performance of the robot was verified though certified field tests. It provided excellent performance in driving force, durability, and water resistance in experimental results. It can control robot motion, that is, it recognizes an object by using an optical flow object-detecting algorithm, which uses a video camera rather than image-detecting sensors inside the robot fish. It is possible to find the robot's position and control the motion of the robot fish using a radio frequency (RF) modem controlled via personal computer. This paper proposes realization of robot fish motion-tracking control using the optical flow object-detecting algorithm. It was verified via performance tests of lead-lag action control of robot fish in the aquarium.

  • In coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy reported until now, conventional microscope objectives are used, so that they are limited for introduction into a living body. Gradient-index (GRIN) rod lenses might be a solution for miniaturized microscope objectives for in-vivo CARS microscopy. However, due to the inherent large amount of chromatic aberration, GRIN rod lenses cannot be utilized for this purpose. CARS imaging catheter, composed of miniaturized microscope objective and fiber bundle, can be introduced into a living body for minimally invasive diagnosis. In order to design the catheter, we have to first investigate design requirements. And then, the optical design is processed with design strategies and intensive computing power to achieve the design requirements. We report the miniaturized objective lens system with diffraction-limited performance and completely corrected chromatic aberrations for an in-vivo CARS imaging catheter.

  • Most state-of-the-art CNNs for action recognition are based on a two-stream architecture: RGB frames stream represents the appearance and the optical flow stream interprets the motion of action. However, the cost of optical flow computation is very high and then it increases action recognition latency. We introduce a design strategy for action recognition inspired by a two-stream network and teacher-student architecture. There are two sub-networks in our neural networks, the optical flow sub-network as a teacher and the RGB frames sub-network as a student. In the training stage, we distill the feature from the teacher as a baseline to train student sub-network. In the test stage, we only use the student so that the latency reduces without computing optical flow. Our experiments show that its advantages over two-stream architecture in both speed and performance.

  • The technology convergence of television, communication, and computing devices enables the rich social and entertaining experience through Smart TV in personal living space. The powerful smart TV computing platform allows to provide various user interaction interfaces like IR remote control, web based control, body gesture based control, etc. The presently used smart TV interaction user control methods are not efficient and user-friendly to access different type of media content and services and strongly required advanced way to control and access to the smart TV with easy user interface. This paper propose the optical wireless communication (OWC) based remote controller design for Smart TV using smart device Flashlights. In this approach, the user smart device act as a remote controller with touch based interactive smart device application and transfer the user control interface data to smart TV trough Flashlight using visible light communication method. The smart TV built-in camera follows the optical camera communication (OCC) principle to decode data and control smart TV user access functions according. This proposed method is not harmful as radio frequency (RF) radiation does it on human health and very simple to use as well user does need to any gesture moves to control the smart TV.
