ABSTRACT

In this work, a 10-wavelength, polarization-multiplexed, monolithically integrated InP coherent QPSK transmitter PIC is demonstrated to operate at 112 Gb/sec per wavelength and total chip superchannel bandwidth of 1.12 Tb/s. This demonstration suggests that increasing data capacity to multi-Tb/s per chip is possible and likely in the future.

ABSTRACT

In the ongoing quest for faster imaging and higher spatial resolution, several methods have been developed to speed up data acquisition by incorporating prior information about the object being imaged. This study shows that many of these methods can be integrated into a single common equation. The unified framework provides a conceptual link that facilitates comparison among these methods to reveal their strengths and weaknesses. By considering the limitations of existing methods, a new member in this class of methods was developed. The broad-use linear acquisition speed-up technique (BLAST) uses the estimated amount of change within the FOV as prior information. BLAST has the flexibility of incorporating a variable amount of prior information to avoid the misleading appearance of "phantom features," which arise from overconstraining the reconstruction. Examples from dynamic imaging and MR thermometry are shown.

ABSTRACT

This study demonstrates three improvements to mass-limited NMR using solenoidal microcoils as detectors: (1) sample confinement using liquid perfluorocarbon plugs to increase the observe factor, (2) design and incorporation of a capillary spinner to improve spectral line widths, and (3) facile sample changing via the use of a capillary insert. The probe is constructed to spin a fused silica capillary of 530 microns i.d., 700 microns o.d. inside a solenoidal coil wound around a 0.8 mm i.d., 1 mm o.d. glass capillary. The smaller capillary contains the sample, and capillaries with different samples can be exchanged easily. In high-resolution limited sample microcoil NMR studies published thus far, the length of the sample plug has been 7-10 times the length of the solenoid to avoid line broadening from volume magnetic susceptibility (chi v) mismatches at both ends of the sample. This arrangement is not efficient since it places most of the sample volume outside of the coil observe volume. It is shown here that the observe factor cannot exceed 23% if the sample plug is bracketed by air, without substantial line broadening occurring. However, if the sample is bracketed by two liquid perfluorocarbon plugs, the observe factor can be increased to 70% while maintaining high spectral resolution. This is equivalent to improving the limit of detection by a factor of 3, or reducing the total data acquisition time for a given signal-to-noise by a factor of 9. It is also shown that, for the 440-nL sample plug used in this study (bracketed by the perflurocarbon plugs), sample spinning can improve the spectral resolution from 1.5 (nonspinning) to 0.6 Hz (spinning). This corresponds to a further improvement in the limit of detection of 2.5, or just over a factor of 6 decrease in data acquisition time.
