Clock offset synchronization with sublinear complexity for quantum key distribution on low-level hardware
We introduce iQSync, a clock-offset recovery method for quantum key distribution. iQSync achieves sub-linear computational complexity, allowing for the implementation on low-level hardware. We demonstrate the method for channel attenuations...
Single-Carrier 2.56 Tb/s (3-mode x 128-GBd x DP-16QAM) Transmission over a 53.7 km Few Mode Fiber
We investigate high-symbol rate SDM transmission using 16 to 128 GBd QPSK, 16-QAM and 64-QAM modulation over a 3-mode fiber. An aggregated net rate of 2.56 Tb/s was obtained after 54 km transmission using 128 GBd 16-QAM signals.
A Flexible Real-Time Quantum Key Distribution System for Fiber and Free-Space Links
To enable QKD in various scenarios, we developed a 625 MHz real-time autonomous timebin-phase QKD system with custom clock synchronization. We demonstrate the system’s performance and robustness under unstable link conditions, a variety of fiber...

Researchers from the University of L’Aquila, NICT, Finisar, Prysmian, Nokia Bell Lab and Fraunhofer HHI Space-Division Multiplexed Transmission technologies from the Lab to the Field and present a summary for their work in this invited...
Inter-hospital transferability of AI: A case study on phase recognition in cholecystectomy
Identifying surgical phases is a crucial component of surgical workflow analysis, facilitating the automated evaluation of surgical procedures’ performance and efficiency. A significant challenge in developing neural networks for surgical phase...
Realtime-Rendering of Dynamic Scenes with Neural Radiance Fields
This paper addresses the challenge of real-time rendering of dynamic 3D scenes using Instant Neural Graphics Primitives (iNGP), training a separate radiance field for each frame. To enable interactive VR playback, efficient data storage and...
Experimental demonstration of robust spatial-diversity combining for coherent free-space optical transmission
Spatial-diversity schemes are applied to improve signal quality of coherent free-space optical transmission systems with uncorrelated phase noise. We compare the performance of conventional schemes (MRC, SDC) to a newly proposed one (X-MRC).
Intraoperative measurements in stapedotomy using 3D stereo imaging for optimal prosthesis length selection
This study introduces a novel approach for precise, radiation-free intraoperative measurements using 3D stereoscopic imaging integrated into a digital surgical microscope for stapedotomy. By optimizing the calibration of stereoscopic zoom-focus...
Resolution and Speed Trade-offs in FMCW LiDAR with MEMS Mirror Scanning and Advanced Signal Processing
We address system trade-offs, e.g. between resolution and speed of a coherent scanning LiDAR. We analyze the performance of our real-time FMCW LiDAR prototype with a high-quantumefficiency coherent receiver, two-dimensional...
