In this work we investigate cell damage in whole slice images of the epidermis. A common way for pathologists to annotate a score, characterising the degree of damage for these samples, is the ratio between healthy and unhealthy nuclei. The...

For the first time, channel measurements at 300 GHz from various environments and different measurement systems are jointly analyzed and published.

Existing challenges in surgical education (See one, do one, teach one) as well as the COVID-19 pandemic make it necessary to develop new ways for surgical training. This work describes the implementation of a scalable remote solution called...

Federated learning suffers in the case of non-iid local datasets, i.e., when the distributions of the clients’ data are heterogeneous. One promising approach to this challenge is the recently proposed method FedAUX. This work presents a fully...

Coherent LiDAR concepts for automotive applications are of increasing interest due to their superior performance, especially at longer range. Here, MEMS mirrors can be used as a compact scanning device. We demonstrate the operation of such a...

A photonics-enabled sub-THz wireless link operating in real-time settings, using a PIN-PD-based THz emitter, and a THz receiver based on an ultra-fast photoconductor is demonstrated. The real-time generation and detection of the information...

A microwave photonic RF comb generator is presented by combining an fs-pulse laser and a high-speed broadband photodetector module. The subsystem generates pulses with a FWHM of 5.8 ps and a flat RF comb up to 140 GHz. Furthermore, the...

We introduce an innovative system based on single-shot structured light modules that facilitates the detection and classification of spatial defects like jutting intrusions, spallings, or misaligned joints. This system creates highly accurate 3D...

In this paper, we develop a low-complexity iterative mode selection algorithm for data transmission in a Reconfigurable antennas (RAs) MIMO system. Furthermore, we study channel estimation of an RA multi-user MIMO system. We propose a mode...

The advent of federated learning (FL) has sparked a new paradigm of parallel and confidential decentralized machine learning (ML) with the potential of utilizing the computational power of a vast number of Internet of Things (IoT), mobile, and...

Explainability is supposed to strengthen trust in artificial intelligence, it is necessary to systematically review and compare explanation methods in order to confirm their correctness. We therefore built Quantus—a comprehensive, evaluation...

We numerically show modulation format identification in the optical domain using Silicon-on-Insulator-based Photonic-Integrated-Circuit (PIC) reservoir. Identification of 32 GBd single-polarization signals of OOK, PAM4, BPSK and QPSK is...

Quantum key distribution (QKD) offers secure communication protected by the laws of quantum mechanics. Aiming for an application-oriented solution, we designed a multichannel superconducting nanowire single photon detector system, as well as a...

Intraoperative monitoring of free flaps using remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) signal provides objective and reproducible data on tissue perfusion. We developed a monitoring algorithm for flap perfusion, which was evaluated in fifteen patients...

We compare three different neural network architectures for nonlinearity mitigation of 32 GBd OOK and QPSK signals after transmission over a dispersion-compensated link of 10-km SSMF and 10-km DCF. OSNR gains up to 2.2 dB were achieved using...

We experimentally study waveband-shift-free optical phase conjugation (OPC) of a 400-Gb/s dual-carrier superchannel and discuss the effectiveness of the OPC for multi-channel nonlinear mitigation. After joint reception of the 31.44 GBd-PDM-16QAM...
