Compact inverse designed vertical coupler with bottom reflector for sub-decibel fiber-to-chip coupling on silicon on insulator platform by Shiang-Yu Huang, Stefanie Barz

“…The final design of the vertical coupler yields a predicted coupling efficiency of −0.35 dB at the wavelength of 1550 nm with a footprint of 14 µm $$\times$$ × 14 µm, which is considerably smaller than conventional grating couplers. Its topology-optimized geometry can be realized by applying one full-etch and one 70-nm shallow-etch process and the fabricability is also guaranteed by a minimum feature size around 150 nm. …”

Combined wideband speech enhancement method based on statistical model and EMD by Xuan ZHOU, Chang-chun BAO, Bing-yin XIA

“…A combined wideband speech enhancement method based on statistical model and empirical mode decomposition (EMD) was proposed.First,statistical model was used to eliminate the main noise component in noisy speech.Then,the residual noise was further suppressed by a post-processing module which is a speech enhancement algorithm with voice activity detection (VAD) based on EMD.The advantages of the two methods were combined effectively.The performance of the proposed method was evaluated under the standard of ITU-T G160.The experimental results indicate that the algorithm is more effective for improving the SNR in the different noise environments than classical statistical model approach.Meanwhile,in low SNR conditions,musical noise is reduced effectively,and the speech sounds more comfortable.…”
