Vector signal processing techniques for all-optical networks by Zhen XING, Hongxiang WANG, Yuefeng JI

“…The all-optical vector signal processing technology is of great significance in the evolution of optical network due to its low delay and high efficiency.Therefore,a comprehensive introduction to the technical background and application scheme of the current all-optical signal processing was given.The all-optical signal modulation format was firstly introduced,and the basic characteristics and receiving modes of each modulation format were described.Furthermore,the nonlinear optical effects,which were the basis of all-optical signal processing,were classified and introduced.The occurrence conditions,occurrence process,optical phenomena and common nonlinear media were also illustrated.The advantages of all-optical signal processing technology were briefly introduced and three typical research fields of all-optical signal regeneration,all-optical format conversion and all-optical phase quantization were introduced in detail.Finally,the application prospect of future all-optical vector signal processing technology was prospected.…”

An engineered Yarrowia lipolytica with rapid growth and efficient lipid utilization by Tianyu Dong, Yujie Shu, Ying Wang, Mingdong Yao, Wenhai Xiao

“…Herein, an integrated strategy was implemented to enhance lipid uptake, accumulation and metabolism and systematically promote the growth and lipid utilization of the commonly used Y. lipolytica Po1f strain. The engineered strain had a specific growth rate of 0.32 h−1 and a lipid content of 67.66 % (g/g DCW), which were 54 % and 26 % greater than those of the original strain. β-Carotene was used to verify the production of lipophilic natural compounds, and the highest yield was obtained 48 h earlier using the engineered strain compared to the original strain when consuming same carbon source. …”
