    摘要: Un commutateur optique comprend un interféromètre (2) à boucle Sagnac à fibres optiques, muni d'un port d'entrée (10) et d'un port de sortie (12). Une source de signaux optiques (26) sur 1,53 mum est couplée au port d'entrée (10) et une source de signaux optiques de contrôle (18, 20) sur des longueurs d'onde de 1,30mum et de 1,31mum est couplée à l'interféromètre (2) par un coupleur dichroïque (8). Le coupleur (8) partage le signal optique d'entrée sur 1,53mumn en deux parties qui se contrepropagent autour de la boucle (6), et couple le signal de contrôle pour se propager dans une seule direction autour de la boucle (6). Le déphasage entre les parties du signal au port de sortie (12) dépend de l'intensité de signal optique de contrôle lorsqu'elles se recombinent au niveau du coupleur (8). Les signaux optiques de contrôle sont formés par l'association d'au moins deux flux d'impulsions optiques, les impulsions des flux d'impulsions optiques distincts n'étant pas interférométriques, ce qui permet de créer une porte ET logique.

    摘要: An all-optical fibre Sagnac antiresonant interferometer (2) is formed from an optical fibre having a non-linear refractive index. The coupler (8) is a dichroic coupler coupling equal portions of a cw optical signal at 1.53 νm from laser (16) to ports (14 and 16) and all of a pulsed optical signal from laser (20) to port (14). The intensity of the pulsed optical signal is sufficient to provide a relative phase shift in the counter propagating 1.53 νm signals. The loop (6) is longer than the inverse of the absolute difference in group delays of the cw and pulsed optical so causing a square optical pulse at 1.53 νm to be switched to port (12) of the coupler.

    摘要: Une fibre optique unique en silice (4) est transformée en un interféromètre Sagnac (2) en formant un coupleur de fibres optiques fusionnées et dichroïques (8) ayant 4 bornes (10, 12, 14 et 16). Un signal de données optiques de 1,3mum est couplé à l'orifice (10) au moyen d'un coupleur de fibres optiques dichroïques (18) qui combine le signal avec un signal de capteur cv à 1,53mum provenant du laser (16). Le coupleur (8) divise le signal du capteur à 1,53mum en deux portions de contre-propagation ayant une intensité égale et couple le signal de données de 1,3mum afin qu'il se propage dans un sens autour de la boucle (6). La boucle (6) offre une non-linéarité telle que le signal de données fournit un décalage de phase relatif des portions de capteur cv de contre-propagation provoquant le basculement d'une portion du signal à 1,53mum vers l'orifice (12). Cette sortie du signal basculé à 1,53mum permet d'obtenir une réduction du signal de données sans amoindrir son intensité.

    摘要: The present invention relates to apparatus for determining the sum of first and second optical binary words. The apparatus uses a first optical logic gate (35) and a second optical logic gate (17) to generate respective first and second combination words which represent a logical combination of the binary words applied to the respective logic gates (17, 35). The first and second combination words are then offset by one bit slot with respect to each other by an offsetting means (22, 32) to generate first and second offset combination words. These offset combination words are repeatedly fed back to the first and second logic gates. The binary sum of the original two words is given by the first combination word when each bit slot of the second combination word has the same logical state.

    摘要: On crée un interféromètre Sagnac antirésonant à fibres toutes optiques (2) à partir d'une fibre optique présentant un indice de réfraction non linéaire. Le coupleur (8) est un coupleur dichroïque couplant des parties égales d'un signal optique cw de 1,53 mum provenant du laser (16) aux ports d'entrée-sortie (14 et 16) ainsi que tout le signal optique pulsé du laser (20) au port (14). L'intensité dudit signal optique pulsé suffit à réaliser un décalage de phase relatif dans les signaux de 1,53 mum se propageant en sens inverse. La boucle (6) est plus longue que l'inverse de la différence absolue des retards de groupes du signal cw et du signal optique pulsé de sorte qu'une impulsion optique carrée de 1,53 mum est commutée au port (12) du coupleur.

    摘要: A method of communication based on quantum cryptography is modified to include an initial step of outputting from, e.g., a transmitter (T), a single-photon signal, which may be unmodulated. A receiver (R1-R3) then randomly selects one of a plurality of encryption alphabets corresponding to different, non-commuting quantum mechanical operators. The receiver modulates the single-photon signal with the selected operator and returns the signal to the transmitter. The transmitter in turn randomly selects a quantum mechanical operator and uses that operator in detecting the returned signal modulated by the receiver. Alternatively, the transmitter may randomly select one of a plurality of encryption alphabets and use that encryption alphabet in modulating the signal. The signal is then further modulated at the receiver using a predetermined encryption alphabet. When the signal is received back at the transmitter, it is detected using the same quantum mechanical operator as was initially used to modulate it. Comparison is made of the states of the single-photon signals as transmitted and received to detect the presence of any eavesdropper.

    摘要: An optical switch comprises an optical fibre Sagnac loop interferometer (2) having an input port (10) and an output port (12). A source of optical signals (26) at 1.53 mu m is coupled to the input port (10) and a source of control optical signals (18, 20) of wavelengths 1.30 mu m and 1.31 mu m are coupled to the interferometer (2) by a dichroic coupler (8). The coupler (8) splits the 1.53 mu mn input optical signal into two signal portions which counterpropagate round the loop (6) and couples the control signal to propagate in one direction only round the loop (6). The phase difference between the signal portions at the output port (12) is dependent on the intensity of the control optical signal when they recombine at the coupler (8). The optical control signals are formed by combining at least two optical pulse streams, the pulses of distinct optical pulse streams being non-interferometric, to provide a logical AND gate.

    摘要: The invention relates to the control of soliton-soliton interaction through the application of a positive phase shift. For each soliton width there is a critical phase modulation level above which soliton-soliton interaction can be virtually eliminated. This enables the spacing between adjacent solitons to be reduced, increasing the system bandwidth even for long transmission distances. The invention finds application in submarine and other long haul systems.
