We introduce an innovative channel estimation technique, in-phase and quadrature separation pulse compression noise rejection (IQS-PCNR), for intensity modulation and direct detection (IMDD) optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. IQS-PCNR uses pulse compression to estimate the channel impulse response (CIR) and employs a noise rejection window to mitigate residual noise, resulting in significant performance improvements.

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a modulation technique, termed orthogonal chirp division multiplexing with chirp index modulation (OCDM-CIM), where partial chirps are deliberately unmodulated to reduce interference and energy consumption.

Abstract Amniote skulls display diverse architectural patterns including remarkable variations in the number of temporal arches surrounding the upper and lower temporal fenestrae. However, the cellular and molecular basis underlying this diversification remains elusive. Turtles are a useful model to understand skull diversity due to the presence of secondarily closed temporal fenestrae and different extents of temporal emarginations (marginal reduction of dermal bones).
