Sparse Aperiodic Optical Phased Arrays on Polymer Integration Platform

Adam Raptakis, Christos Kouloumentas, Norbert Keil, Moritz Kleinert, Hercules Avramopoulos, Panos Groumas, Lefteris Gounaridis, Christos Tsokos, Madeleine Weigel, Efstathios Andrianopoulos, Georgios Lymperakis

Solid-state optical beam-steering utilizing polymer waveguides as edge emitters to form optical phased arrays (OPAs) with aperiodic spacing for operation at 1550 nm is demonstrated for the first time. Power consumption of 1.28 mW/? per channel is...

Generative Texture Super-Resolution via Differential Rendering

Milena Teresa Bagdasarian, Peter Eisert, Anna Hilsmann

We propose a generative deep learning network for texture map super-resolution using a differentiable renderer and calibrated reference images. Combining a super-resolution generative adversarial network (GAN) with differentiable rendering, we...

Towards Better Morphed Face Images Without Ghosting Artifacts

Clemens Peter Seibold, Anna Hilsmann

We propose a method for automatic prevention of ghosting artifacts based on a pixel-wise alignment during morph generation. We evaluate our proposed method on state-of-the-art detectors and show that our morphs are harder to detect, particularly,...

Multispectral Stereo-Image Fusion for 3D Hyperspectral Scene Reconstruction

Eric Wisotzky, Peter Eisert, Anna Hilsmann, Jost Triller

We present a novel approach combining two calibrated multispectral real-time capable snapshot cameras, covering different spectral ranges, into a stereo-system. Therefore, a hyperspectral data-cube can be continuously captured. The combined use...

Little or No Equalization is Needed in Energy-Efficient Sub-THz Mobile Access

Lorenzo Miretti, Slawomir Stanczak, Wilhelm Keusgen, Michael Peter, Giuseppe Caire, Taro Eichler, Thomas Kühne, Alper Schultze

We validate experimentally the claim that, in sub-THz mobile access networks, single-carrier or low-number-of-subcarriers modulations are very attractive competitors to the dramatically more complex and energy-inefficient traditional...

Polymer Waveguide Sensor Based on Evanescent Bragg Grating for Lab-on-a-Chip Applications

Zhenyu Zhang, Wolfgang Schade, Martin Angelmahr, Ahmad Abdalwareth, Günter Flachenecker

This work integrates an evanescent Bragg grating sensor into a polymer waveguide with microchannels. The sensor, built with epoxide-based polymers, is characterized through chemical applications. Temperature sensitivity is demonstrated (-47.75...

Insights into the inner workings of transformer models for protein function prediction

Markus Wenzel, Nils Strodthoff, Erik Grüner

We explored how explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) can help to shed light into the inner workings of neural networks for protein function prediction, by extending the widely used XAI method of integrated gradients such that latent...

Semantic Communication for Edge Intelligence: Theoretical Foundations and Implications on Protocols

Zoran Utkovski, Slawomir Stanczak, Johannes Dommel, Giuseppe Caire, Andrea Munari, Pin-Hsun Lin, Max Franke, André C. Drummond

Recent attention to semantic communication, driven by task-oriented solutions, aims to optimize resource use. Despite perceived efficiency gains, few practical implementations exist. This paper revisits theoretical foundations, emphasizing...

Towards an AI-enabled Connected Industry: AGV Communication and Sensor Measurement Datasets

Rodrigo Hernangómez, Slawomir Stanczak, Martin Kasparick, Gerhard Fettweis, Daniel Schäufele, Rafail Ismayilov, Oscar Dario Ramos-Cantor, Hugues Tchouankem, Philipp Geuer, Alexandros Palaois, Cara Watermann, Mohammad Parvini, Anton Krause, Thomas Neugebauer, Jose Leon Calvo, Bo Chen

We present iV2V and iV2i+, two machine-learning datasets for industrial wireless communication. The datasets cover sidelink and cellular communication involving autonomous robots together with localization and sensing data, which can be used to...

Adam Raptakis, Christos Kouloumentas, Norbert Keil, Moritz Kleinert, Hercules Avramopoulos, Panos Groumas, Lefteris Gounaridis, Christos Tsokos, Rene G. Heidemann, Madeleine Weigel, Efstathios Andrianopoulos, Jörn P. Epping, Thi Lan Anh Tran, Thomas Aukes, Marco Wolfer, Alexander Draebenstedt, Nikos Lyras, Dimitrios Nikolaidis, Elias Mylonas, Nikolaos Baxevanakis, Roberto Pessina, Erik Schreuder, Matthijn Dekkers, Volker Seyfried

We demonstrate a compact heterodyne Laser Doppler Vibrometer (LDV) based on the realization of optical frequency shift in the silicon nitride photonic integration ! platform (TriPleX). The system comprises a dual-polarization coherent detector...
