Designing of Fiber Bragg Gratings for Long-Distance Optical Fiber Sensing Networks by Janis Braunfelds, Elvis Haritonovs, Ugis Senkans, Inna Kurbatska, Ints Murans, Jurgis Porins, Sandis Spolitis

“…Gaussian, sine, and raised sine apodizations are studied to achieve the main requirements, which are maximally high reflectivity (at least 90%) and side-lobe suppression (at least 20 dB), as well as maximally narrow bandwidth (FWHM<0.2 nm) and FBGs with uniform (without apodization). Results gathered in this research propose high-efficiency FBG grating apodizations, which can be further physically realized for optical sensor networks and long-distance (at least 40 km) monitoring solutions.…”

The EDI Multi-Modal Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Dataset (EDI-SLAM) by Peteris Racinskis, Gustavs Krasnikovs, Janis Arents, Modris Greitans

“…In addition to the filtered positioning module outputs, a second form of sparse ground truth pose annotation is provided using independently surveyed visual fiducial markers as a reference. This enables the meaningful evaluation of systems that directly utilize data from the positioning module into their localization estimates, and serves as an alternative when the GNSS reference is disrupted by intermittent signals or multipath scattering. …”
