Yb/Al-Codoped Fused-Silica Waveguides for High-Power Applications

A novel all-silica technology for fabricating on-chip optical devices for high-power applications based on large-core fused silica waveguides (WG) is introduced. We demonstrate a 20X20µm Yb/Al-codoped fused-silica WG with <0.5dB/cm loss and 0.6dB/cm gain, showing near-single-mode operation and low propagation loss despite significant sidewall-roughness. The first high-power optical pitch-converter is reported, bringing five WGs close proximity to enable simple fiber-coupling or coherent combining.

Fabrication methods include flame-hydrolysis, amorphous sintering, CO₂ laser treatment (T>2000^oC) and photolithography followed by dry etching. Special attention is given to sidewall roughness investigation using white-light interferometry and fluorescence streak imaging providing the first experimental observation of Marcuse's theory for modal distribution and loss dynamics in multimode WGs.

EE Seminar: Sub-Nyquist Sampling: Bounds, Algorithms and Hardware

Sub-Nyquist Sampling: Bounds, Algorithms and Hardware
Abstract
The famous Shannon-Nyquist theorem has become a landmark in the development of digital signal processing. However, in many modern applications, the signal bandwidths have increased tremendously, while the acquisition capabilities have not scaled sufficiently fast. Consequently, conversion to digital has become a serious bottleneck. Furthermore, the resulting high rate digital data requires storage, communication and processing at very high rates which is computationally expensive and requires large amounts of power.

In this talk, we present a framework for sampling and processing a wide class of wideband analog signals at rates far below Nyquist. We refer to this methodology as Xampling: A combination of compression and sampling, performed simultaneously. Using the Cramer-Rao bound we develop a generic low-rate sampling architecture that is optimal in a mean-squared error sense, and can be applied to a wide variety of wideband inputs. The resulting system can be readily implemented in hardware, and is easily modified to incorporate correlations between signals. We consider application of these ideas to a variety of problems including low rate ultrasound imaging, radar detection, ultra wideband communication, and cognitive radio, and show several demos of real-time sub-Nyquist prototypes.

Common Grasping and Dynamic Regrasping

Avishai Sintov

Ben-Gurion University of the Negev

In today’s manufacturing plants, robots are the foundational element of high volume automation and are used extensively in various operations. Today’s manufacturing plants have to juggle two critical and often conflicting requirements: the greater demand and the higher quality. This requires manufacturing high quality products while meeting a very high production rate. The robots interact with the objects by using an arm and an end-effector that is a key interface between the robot and the component or product that needs to be handled. The robot arms are built for multi-purpose tasks. While many end-effectors look similar to one another; they are designed, built, and optimized for a specific task and specific part geometry. This makes them very inflexible in handling variations in component shape or the task. Thus, a typical end-effector consumes a considerable amount of engineering time and adds extra cost to the final product.

In this talk I will address this problem with two distinguish approaches. The first is a novel search algorithm for common grasping of a set of objects. The algorithm searches for a simple end-effector design able to feasibly grasp all of the objects. The second approach is known as Dynamic Regrasping to alternate grasp configurations of the object with respect to the task to be done. I would talk about two types of dynamic regrasping manipulations using a robotic arm and a simple non-dexterous gripper. Thus, the same arm can grasp multiple parts and perform multiple operations on the same part, and by that decrease the number of robotic arms in the plant.

An Introduction to Software Defined Radio

Abstract

This lecture will begin with the definition, history and evolution of Software Defined Radio (SDR). RF/microwave engineers will find it clear and understandable because analogies will be made to conventional classic radio systems and components. The lecture will then introduce the concepts of oversampling and undersampling as it applies to SDR. There will be an introduction to the details of correctly driving and implementing an A/D converter as this is one of the important areas that the RF/microwave engineer will be asked to do. There will be an introduction and explanation of the firmware and software portions of SDR and a comparison with state-of-the art conventional analog circuitry will be shown. A live demonstration of SDR will be presented. Software Defined Radio (SDR) is the culmination of advances on several fronts and probably the most significant area of development in radio systems today. The entire worldwide cellular system uses SDR. NASA and the US military communications are now almost exclusively using SDR. Some new automobile radios use SDR to accommodate multiple modulation formats. The role of the RF/microwave engineer in this new technology will be shown so that the audience can adapt and feel that their skills are needed in the evolving field of radio communications

Fare Prediction Websites and Transaction Prices: Empirical Evidence from the Airline Industry

Dr. Eran Rubin - Faculty of Technology Management at the Holon Institute of Technology (HIT)

Abstract:

. The operations discipline has increasingly accounted for the presence of strategic consumer behavior. Theory suggests that such behavior exists when consumers are able to consider future distribution of prices, and that this behavior exposes firms to intertemporal competition which results with a downwards pressure on prices. However, deriving future distribution of prices is not a trivial task. Online decision support tools that provide consumers with information about future distributions of prices can facilitate strategic consumer behavior. This research studies whether the availability of such information affects transacted prices by conducting an empirical analysis in the context of the airline industry. Studying the effect at the route level, we find significant price reduction effects as such information becomes available for a route, both in fixed-effects and difference-in-differences estimation models. This effect is consistent across the different fare percentiles and amounts to a reduction of approximately 4-6% in transactions’ prices. Our results lend ample support to the notion that price prediction decision tools make a statistically significant economic impact. Presumably, consumers are able to exploit the information available online and exhibit strategic behavior.
