Abstract Propagation of light beams through scattering or multimode systems may lead to the randomization spatial coherence light. Although information is not lost, its recovery requires a coherent interferometric reconstruction original signals, which have been scrambled into modes system. Here we show that can automatically unscramble optical arbitrarily mixed in waveguide, undoing and mixing between mesh silicon photonics tuneable beam splitters. Transparent detectors integrated photonic...
Photonic technologies lack non-invasive monitoring tools to inspect the light inside optical waveguides. This is one of main barriers large scale integration, even though photonic platforms are potentially ready host thousands elements on a single chip. Here, we demonstrate observation in silicon photonics devices by exploiting photon interaction with intra-gap energy states localized at waveguide surface. Light intensity monitored measuring electric conductance core through capacitive...

Abstract Sterile neutrinos appear in minimal extensions of the Standard Model particle physics. If their mass is keV regime, they are viable dark matter candidates. One way to search for sterile a laboratory-based experiment via analysis β -decay spectra, where new neutrino eigenstate would manifest itself as kink-like distortion spectrum. The objective TRISTAN project extend KATRIN setup with multi-pixel silicon drift detector system keV-scale signal. In this paper we describe requirements...

A smart, safe, and efficient management of water is fundamental for both developed developing countries. Several wireless sensor networks have been proposed real-time monitoring drinking quantity quality, in the environment pipelines. However, surface fouling significantly affects long-term reliability pipes sensors installed in-line. To address this relevant issue, we presented a multi-parameter sensing node embedding miniaturized slime monitor able to estimate micrometric thickness type...
Embedding signal processing in the front-end of radiation detectors represents an approach to cope with growing complexity nuclear imaging scanners increasing field view (i.e., higher number channels). Machine learning (ML) offers a good compromise between intrinsic image reconstruction performance and computational power. While most hardware accelerators for ML are based on digital circuits and, thus, require analog-to-digital conversion all individual signals from photodetectors, analog...
