The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of Brillouin optical time-domain analyzers (BOTDA) is modelled and experimentally validated, using direct detection with and without the use of optical pre-amplification. The behavior of SNR as a function of the Brillouin ga ...
Wall conditioning is essential in tokamak and stellarator research to achieve plasma performance and reproducibility. This paper presents an overview of recent conditioning results, both from experiments in present devices and modelling, in view of devices ...
We study the problem of distributed estimation over adaptive networks where communication delays exist between nodes. In particular, we investigate the diffusion Least-Mean-Square (LMS) strategy where delayed intermediate estimates (due to the communicatio ...
