In many circumstances, the quality of a process or product is best characterized by a given mathematical function between a response variable and one or more explanatory variables that is typically referred to as profile. There are some investigations to monitor auto-correlated linear and nonlinear profiles in recent years. In the present paper, we use the linear mixed models to account autocor...

In most modern manufacturing systems, products are often the output of some multistage processes. In these processes, the stages are dependent on each other, where the output quality of each stage depends also on the output quality of the previous stages. This property is called the cascade property. Although there are many studies in multistage process monitoring, there are fewer works on prof...

Phase retrieval deals with the recovery of complexor real-valued signals from magnitude measurements. As shown recently, the method PhaseMax enables phase retrieval via convex optimization and without lifting the problem to a higher dimension. To succeed, PhaseMax requires an initial guess of the solution, which can be calculated via spectral initializers. In this paper, we show that with the a...

Design and experimental validation of a simple photonic phase-lockedloop (PPLL) linear phase demodulator employing a novel attenuating counter propagating (ACP) in-loop phase modulator are presented. The ACP in-loop phase modulator is free of propagation delay, allowing stable operation of the PPLL with large gain. Highly linear optical phase demodulation was observed and the measured spurious ...
