Location is one of the basic information required for underwater optical wireless sensor networks (UOWSNs) for different purposes such as relating the sensing measurements with precise sensor positions, enabling efficient geographic routing techniques, and sustaining link connectivity between the nodes. Even though various two-dimensional UOWSNs localization methods have been proposed in the past, the directive nature of optical wireless communications and three-dimensional (3D) deployment of sensors require to develop 3D underwater localization methods. Additionally, the localization accuracy of the network strongly depends on the placement of the anchors. Therefore, we propose a robust 3D localization method for partially connected UOWSNs which can accommodate the outliers and optimize the placement of the anchors to improve the localization accuracy. The proposed method formulates the problem of missing pairwise distances and outliers as an optimization problem which is solved through half quadratic minimization. Furthermore, analysis is provided to optimally place the anchors in the network which improves the localization accuracy. The problem of optimal anchor placement is formulated as a combination of Fisher information matrices for the sensor nodes where the condition of D-optimality is satisfied. The numerical results indicate that the proposed method outperforms the literature substantially in the presence of outliers.Citation

Wide-field-of-view optical detectors based on fused fiber-optic tapers for high-speed optical wireless communicationOoi, Boon S.; Alkhazragi, Omar; Trichili, Abderrahmen (SPIE, 2022-05-24) [Conference Paper, Presentation]Optical wireless communication (OWC) is envisioned to become an indispensable technology in future wireless networks. However, one of the main issues hindering the widespread of OWC systems is the strict alignment required to maintain connectivity. This is due to the tradeoff between the receiver’s active area and its response speed, which necessitates the use of a lens to focus the light, limiting the field of view (FOV). Taking inspiration from the wide-FOV eyes of horseflies to address this issue, we propose the use of a convex-surface fused fiber-optic taper (FFOT) that can effectively expand a planar array of photodetectors and project it onto a spherical dome, respectively improving the light collection of individual photodetectors and expanding the overall FOV of the array. In our proof-of-concept demonstration, we show an optical receiver with a FOV semi-angle of around 25° and optical power density gain up to 120 in a 1-GHz link whose bandwidth is limited only by the photodetector. Moreover, reducing of the FOV of each individual fiber that results from tapering and the extra-mural absorption material incorporated around the fibers’ cores reduce the crosstalk between them, preserving the image quality. Therefore, unlike non-imaging light focusing elements, FFOTs can potentially be used in applications in which preserving the image is necessary, such as in imaging multiple-input and multiple-output systems and light detection and ranging (LiDAR). We also show the performance of FFOTs in collecting light from color-converting materials, a technique used in expanding the FOV beyond the étendue limit.

Polarization Micro-Optics: circular polarization from a Fresnel Rhomb 3D printed on an optical fiberBertoncini, Andrea; Liberale, Carlo (IEEE Photonics Technology Letters, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018-09-20) [Article]High resolution fabrication of three dimensional polymeric structures with Direct Laser Writing (DLW) holds a unique potential for the miniaturization of bulk optical elements. This has been so far mainly demonstrated for the fabrication of reflective, refractive and phase-mask micro-optics. Here we show the use of DLW for the fabrication of a miniaturized phase retarder element, a Fresnel Rhomb, which acts as a broadband quarter-wave plate. We show the integration of the Fresnel Rhomb onto a polarization-maintaining optical fiber, converting linearly polarized light from the fiber into circularly polarized light over a very broad spectral range.

Optical force on diseased blood cells: Towards the optical sorting of biological matterGongora, Juan Sebastian Totero; Fratalocchi, Andrea (Optics and Lasers in Engineering, Elsevier BV, 2016-01) [Article]By employing a series of massively parallel ab-initio simulations, we study how optical forces act on biological matter subject to morphological disease. As a representative case study, we here consider the case of Plasmodium falciparum on red blood cells (RBC) illuminated by a monochromatic plane wave. Realistic parameters for the geometry and the refractive index are then taken from published experiments. In our theoretical campaign, we study the dependence of the optical force on the disease stage for different incident wavelengths. We show that optical forces change significantly with the disease, with amplitude variation in the hundreds of pN range. Our results open up new avenues for the design of new optical systems for the treatment of human disease.
