Large Zero Autocorrelation Zone of Golay Sequences and 4q4^q-QAM Golay Complementary Sequences

Sequences with good correlation properties have been widely adopted in modern communications, radar and sonar applications. In this paper, we present our new findings on some constructions of single $H$-ary Golay sequence and $4^q$-QAM Golay complementary sequence with a large zero autocorrelation zone, where $H\ge 2$ is an arbitrary even integer and $q\ge 2$ is an arbitrary integer. Those new results on Golay sequences and QAM Golay complementary sequences can be explored during synchronization and detection at the receiver end and thus improve the performance of the communication system

A Generalized Construction of OFDM M-QAM Sequences With Low Peak-to-Average Power Ratio

A construction of $2^{2n}$-QAM sequences is given and an upper bound of the peak-to-mean envelope power ratio (PMEPR) is determined. Some former works can be viewed as special cases of this construction.Comment: published by Advances in Mathematics of Communication

Conquer the fine structure splitting of excitons in self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots via combined stresses

Eliminating the fine structure splitting (FSS) of excitons in self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) is essential to the generation of high quality entangled photon pairs. It has been shown that the FSS has a lower bound under uniaxial stress. In this letter, we show that the FSS of excitons in a general self-assembled InGaAs/GaAs QD can be fully suppressed via combined stresses along the [110] and [010] directions. The result is confirmed by atomic empirical pseudopotential calculations. For all the QDs we studied, the FSS can be tuned to be vanishingly small ($<$ 0.1 $\mu$eV), which is sufficient small for high quality entangled photon emission.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure, 1 tabl
