Abstract:
A method of synchronizing the encryption/decryption functions of an AlphaEta physical-layer encryption or key generation system. The method includes the insertion of a header to indicate the start of encryption after clock-synchronization has been established. The method also allows for a side-channel to signal other useful information, such as a loss-of-syncrhonization signal from Bob or to synchronize a dynamic key change.
Abstract:
There is provided an optical regenerative amplifier for regenerative amplification of a binary phase shift-keying (BPSK) sequence of optical signals having a predetermined time slot between any adjacent signals. The optical regenerative amplifier comprises a first delay interferometer, wherein an input sequence of BPSK signals is split between two arms of an interferometer, a relative delay by the time slot between the adjacent signals is introduced in one of the arms of the interferometer to produce two mutually anti-symmetric trains of amplitude shift-keying (ASK) signals; a discriminative limiting amplifier to amplify the said two trains of anti-symmetric ASK signals, wherein the amplification for the spaces is smaller compared to the amplification for the marks and the amplification for the marks is limiting; and a second delay interferometer, wherein the said two trains of anti-symmetric ASK signals are recombined, delayed, and interfered to reproduce a regeneratively amplified BPSK sequence of signals and to separate noise from the signals.
Abstract:
A highly stable soliton source uses a bulk Er/Yb glass laser which operates in two longitudinal modes of the laser cavity with substantially identical amplitudes to generate beat modulation. The beat modulation is then passed through a pulse compression fiber which compresses the beat modulation into a train of soliton pulses. Because the beat modulation is between two modes of the same laser cavity, the soliton pulse train generated is highly stable with low timing jitter.
Abstract:
An endoscope that integrates the functions of an optical tower into a portable device, while eliminating the use of cords or cables that carry light, video signals or images, and power to the endoscope that may conflict with the movement of a surgeon and the members of the surgical team, or other operators in non-medical related applications is provided. The endoscope incorporates a camera, an image processor, a light source, a transmitter, a communication interface, a control interface, and one or more of a power source in a single portable unit or enclosure. The camera is in electrical communication with the image processor and supplies images and video to the image processor obtained via an elongated endoscope tube. The light source illuminates a viewing field of the endoscope via the elongated tube.
