Event cameras report per-pixel brightness changes as a stream of asynchronous events, making them insensitive to the spatial distribution of feature points. Thus, traditional calibration methods, such as checkerboard and circle patterns, are inadequate for precise event camera calibration. Here, we propose an accurate calibration method based on blinking binary stripes to address this limitation. Two binary stripes, which are orthogonal, are displayed on a screen and blink at a specific frequency. The triggered data streams are converted into frames, which are analyzed using the Fourier technique. Thus, the feature points are located from the phase domain, which differs from conventional methods. The superior performance of the proposed method is verified in calibration experiments.

In this letter, for the first time, a novel 100G pre-amplified self-coherent passive optical network (SC-PON) architecture is proposed and experimentally verified. To mitigate the reduction in receiver sensitivity resulting from co-transmitted carriers in self-coherent systems, a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) was deployed for pre-amplification with a noise figure of 7.5dB and a small-signal gain of 30dB. As a proof-of-concept, a system experiment of pre-amplified 25-GBaud 16-QAM SC-PON is demonstrated in the downstream, achieving a data rate of 100 Gb/s/ $lambda $
