Patent number: 11462880Abstract: The present invention discloses a distributed pulsed light amplifier based on optical fiber parametric amplification, comprising a pump pulsed light source, a sensing pulsed light source, a synchronization device, a two-in-one optical coupler, an optical circulator, a parametric amplification optical fiber, a first optical filter, a photoelectric detector and a signal acquisition device. According to the distributed pulsed light amplifier, high-power pulsed light is used as pump light to generate an optical fiber parametric amplification effect near a zero-dispersion wavelength of an optical fiber, thereby amplifying a power of another sensing pulsed light. Meanwhile, due to the fact that effective optical fiber parametric amplification cannot be achieved through low-power light leakage outside a duration interval of the pump pulsed light, leaked light from the sensing pulsed light cannot be amplified, and the effect of amplifying a pulse extinction ratio can be achieved at the same time.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2022Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: Wuhan University of TechnologyInventors: Zhengying Li, Xuelei Fu, Ben Xiong, Zhou Zheng

Publication number: 20130204883Abstract: Various technologies described herein pertain to computing top-K pairwise co-occurrence statistics using an upper bounding heuristic. Upper bound values of a co-occurrence statistic for items in a set can be computed based on a query item, and items can be sorted into an order. The items and the query item are represented by respective portions of a tensor. An item from the order associated with a highest upper bound value can be selected, an actual value of the co-occurrence statistic can be computed for the selected item, the upper bound value for the selected item can be replaced with the actual value for the selected item, and the selected item can be repositioned in the order. When the top-K items in the order lack an item associated with an upper bound value, the top-K items and actual values of the co-occurrence statistic for the top-K items can be outputted.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2012Publication date: August 8, 2013Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Alice Xiao-Zhou Zheng, Yucheng Low
