摘要:
Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to systems and methods for all optical distributed arbitration for computer system components (1801-1804) communicatively coupled via a photonic interconnect in a computer system device. The embodiments of the optical arbitration in the computer system provides arbitration schemes with fixed priority (2000) and non-fixed priority (1830, 2200). The non-fixed priority scheme embodiments can provide fairness in arbitration. In some embodiments, delivery of light power and arbitration are combined (1830, 2001).

A system and method for an electrically pumped laser system is disclosed. The system includes a silicon micro-ring resonator 405. A quantum well 412 formed of a III-V group semiconductor material is optically coupled with the micro-ring resonator 405 to provide optical gain. A trapezoidal shaped buffer 414 formed of a III-V group semiconductor material and doped with a first type of carrier is optically coupled to the quantum well 412. A ring electrode 410 is coupled to the trapezoidal shaped buffer 414. The trapezoidal shaped buffer 414 enables the ring electrode 410 to be substantially isolated from an optical mode of the micro-ring resonator 405.

A device includes a first region, a multiplication region, a second region, and an absorption region. The first region is associated with a first terminal, and the second region is associated with a second terminal. The first region is separated from the second region by the multiplication region. The absorption region is disposed on the multiplication region and associated with a third terminal. A multiplication region electric field is independently controllable with respect to an absorption region electric field, based on the first terminal, the second terminal, and the third terminal.

Various embodiments of the present invention are directed optical-based quantum random number generators. In one embodiment, a quantum random number generator includes an input state generator that generates a first optical quantum system and a second optical quantum system in an entangled state, a detector that measures the state of the first optical quantum system and the state of the second optical quantum system, and a system control that evaluates a result obtained from measuring the state of the first optical quantum system and state of the second optical quantum system to determine whether or not to append a number associated with the result to the sequence of random numbers. The quantum random number generator also include state controllers, located between the input state generator and the detector, that are operationally controlled by the system control to maintain the entangled state, based on results obtained from previous measurements performed on the first and second optical quantum systems.
