Event Interval Modulation: A Novel Scheme for Event-based Optical Camera Communication

Optical camera communication (OCC) represents a promising visible light communication technology. Nonetheless, typical OCC systems utilizing frame-based cameras are encumbered by limitations, including low bit rate and high processing load. To address these issues, OCC system utilizing an event-based vision sensor (EVS) as receivers have been proposed. The EVS enables high-speed, low-latency, and robust communication due to its asynchronous operation and high dynamic range. In existing event-based OCC systems, conventional modulation schemes such as on-off keying (OOK) and pulse position modulation have been applied, however, to the best of our knowledge, no modulation method has been proposed that fully exploits the unique characteristics of the EVS. This paper proposes a novel modulation scheme, called the event interval modulation (EIM) scheme, specifically designed for event-based OCC. EIM enables improvement in transmission speed by modulating information using the intervals between events. This paper proposes a theoretical model of EIM and conducts a proof-of-concept experiment. First, the parameters of the EVS are tuned and customized to optimize the frequency response specifically for EIM. Then, the maximum modulation order usable in EIM is determined experimentally. We conduct transmission experiments based on the obtained parameters. Finally, we report successful transmission at 28 kbps over 10 meters and 8.4 kbps over 50 meters in an indoor environment. This sets a new benchmark for bit rate in event-based OCC systems.

Third-order Electrical Conductivity of the Charge-ordered Organic Salt $α$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$

We performed third-order electrical conductivity measurements on the organic conductor $α$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$ using an ac bridge technique sensitive to nonlinear signals. Third-order conductance $G_3$ is clearly observed even at low electric fields, and interestingly, $G_3$ is critically enhanced above the charge-order transition temperature $T_{\rm CO}=136$~K. The observed frequency dependence of $G_3$ is incompatible with a percolation model, in which a Joule heating in a random resistor network is relevant to the nonlinear conduction. We instead argue the nonlinearity of the relaxation time according to a phenomenological model on the mobility in materials with large dielectric constants, and find that the third-order conductance $G_3$ corresponds to the third-order electric susceptibility $χ_3$. Since the nonlinear susceptibility is known as a probe for higher-order multipole ordering, the present observation of the divergent behavior of $G_3$ above $T_{\rm CO}$ reveals an underlying quadrupole instability at the charge-order transition of the organic system.

Enhanced Seebeck coefficient by a filling-induced Lifshitz transition in KxRhO2

We have systematically measured the transport properties in the layered rhodium oxide K$_{x}$RhO$_{2}$ single crystals ($0.5\lesssim x \lesssim 0.67$), which is isostructural to the thermoelectric oxide Na$_{x}$CoO$_{2}$. We find that below $x = 0.64$ the Seebeck coefficient is anomalously enhanced at low temperatures with increasing $x$, while it is proportional to the temperature like a conventional metal above $x=0.65$, suggesting an existence of a critical content $x^{*} \simeq 0.65$. For the origin of this anomalous behavior, we discuss a filling-induced Lifshitz transition, which is characterized by a sudden topological change in the cylindrical hole Fermi surfaces at the critical content $x^*$.
