Abstract: An open path optical sensing system having an ultrasonic cleaner. The system includes at least one ultrasound transducer which is configured to propagate ultrasonic waves across exposed surfaces of optical components of the optical sensing system. The ultrasonic waves create tiny vibrations on the exposed surfaces of the optical components which clean the surfaces of environmental pollutants and prevent environmental pollutants from accumulating on the surface. The ultrasonic waves may have a frequency that is substantially different than the modulation frequency of a modulated laser light beam that is generated by a laser of the open path optical sensing system. The surfaces of a plurality of optical components may be cleaned by the ultrasonic waves of a single ultrasound transducer. A plurality of ultrasound transducers may propagate waves on a single optical component.

Abstract: Systems and methods for data transport, including submarine reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers, branching units configured to receive signals from trunk terminals (TTs), and dummy light filters configured to pass useful signals through the filters, and to reflect dummy light. Optical interleavers are configured to separate useful signals into two or more groups of optical channels, and the optical channels are set to a frequency of either a left or a right portion of a total channel bandwidth. De-interleavers merge signal groups together from trunk terminals, and lasers at each of the transponders at the source terminals are configured to adjust a destination of a channel by fine tuning a frequency or wavelength of the one or more signals.

Abstract: A method and system for optical angular momentum (OAM) spectroscopy includes generating a beam of light having a single OAM mode. A first spectrum of the beam of light is detected and the beam of light is passed through a gas to attenuate the beam of light in accordance with a presence and concentration of a respective gas. A second spectrum the beam of light is coherently detected and a difference between the first and second spectrum for the beam of light is analyzed to determine the presence and concentration of the respective gas.

Abstract: A method and system for remote sensing using optical orbital angular momentum (OAM)-based spectroscopy for lateral motion detection. The method includes applying an OAM mode on a light beam to generate an OAM light beam, the OAM light beam having an optical OAM spectrum, applying an OAM optical beam tilt on the OAM light beam to generate a tilted OAM light beam, transmitting the tilted OAM light beam on a remote object, such that the remote object interacts with the tilted OAM light beam, receiving a reflected OAM spectrum associated with the remote object, the reflected OAM spectrum having power values of OAM modes on opposite sides of an OAM launch mode, and displaying lateral motion of the remote object based on the reflected OAM spectrum by comparing the power values.

Abstract: Systems and methods for data transport, including encoding streams of input data using generalized low-density parity check (GLDPC) encoders, the one or more GLDPC encoders being configured to generate GLDPC coded data streams using a plurality of component local codes to improve error correction strength, employ single-parity checks and two or more local block codes during generation of the GLDPC codes, and enable continuous tuning of code rate using the generated GLDPC codes. Signals may be generated using mappers, the mappers configured to assign bits of signals to signal constellations and to associate the bits of the signals with signal constellation points. The signal may be modulated using an I/Q or 4-D modulator composed of one polarization beam splitter, two I/Q modulators, and one polarization beam combiner. The modulated signals are multiplexed using a mode-multiplexer, transmitted over a transmission medium, and the signals are received and decoded using GLDPC decoders.

Abstract: Data is routed in a mesh network of devices that can communicate wirelessly through a plurality of technologies. One or more of such devices receive broadcast message(s) from a destination device intended to receive the data, and generate a first radio link quality metric (RLQM) value based on the broadcast message(s). A source device originates and delivers a quantum of data with an embedded first RLQM value. A set of intermediate devices relays the quantum of data if a forwarding criterion is fulfilled; the forwarding criterion is based in part on the first RLQM value and a second RLQM value generated by an intermediate device in the set of intermediate devices based on the broadcast message(s). The intermediate device exploits an optical interface to transmit the quantum of data. The destination device broadcasts an acknowledgement signal in response to receiving intended data.
