We investigate the role of quantum interference phenomena on the characteristics of the fields radiated by an array of quantum emitters. In analogy to, but distinct from, classical outcomes, we demonstrate that the array ...

Scaling up quantum technologies entails the challenge of developing large-scale and high-performance photonic quantum networks. Engineering novel optical components, with a compact footprint and advanced functionalities, ...

The authors proposed a quasi-distributed vibration sensing technique using in-line weak reflectors and optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR). As a result, they achieved an 8 kHz measurable vibration frequency with ...

The significant growth of wireless communications systems in the last years has led to the adoption of a wide range of applications not only for the general public but, also, including utilities and administrative authorities. ...

In this paper, a multiplexing system for simultaneous interrogation of optical fiber sensors which measure different parameters is presented and validated. The whole system has been tested with 6 different sensing heads ...

Approximately one-third of elderly people fall each year with severe consequences, including death. The aim of this study was to identify the most relevant features to be considered to maximize the accuracy of a logistic ...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) and wireless sensors networks (WSNs) are two fundamental pillars that enable the Internet of Things (IoT). RFID systems are able to identify and track devices, whilst WSNs cooperate ...

In this study, an interrogation system based on an erbium-doped fiber ring cavity for refractive index measurements is presented and experimentally demonstrated. This cavity ring includes a 1 × 3 coupler wherein one of the ...
