    摘要: A multiple wavelength light source generates an output signal having a comb of accurately spaced apart frequencies with variable free spectral range in the C-band of optical fiber communication. The light source employs an electro-optical modulator (EOM) driven by a signal generator which modulates with EOM with multiple modulation frequencies to widen the output spectrum of signal. The EOM has a crystal provided with a waveguide. The waveguide may be doped with a rare-earth metal to impart gain properties to equalize the intensities of the comb. In one preferred embodiment, Er, Yt or other doping elements provide the gain property to waveguides. The crystal is also provided with periodically poled structure, and this may be engineered so as to form domains of unequal widths to improve the efficiency of modulation. The output signal from the light source may be split and presented to a bank of filters to create a multiple signals, each signal having one of the spaced apart frequencies. The output signals may be used as channels to be modulated by data and then combined in dense wavelength division multiplexing system, or may be used as a soliton source in time-division multiplexed communication systems.

    摘要: A method and system for high Z material revealing using muon detection technique is presented. The system measures muons' coordinates, velocities, incidence angles and leaving angles. Two series of detectors: one above and one below the interrogated volume are used. A muon trajectory deviation from an expected trajectory is used for the decision making on the presence of high Z material inside the volume. The muon velocity is measured using either a ring Cerenkov counter, a transition radiation detector or/and a threshold Cerenkov counter. The expected trajectory is calculated basing on known particle velocity.

    摘要: The invention provides, according to its various embodiments, a method for secure communication that involves encoding and transmitting an optical communications signal that is encoded based on a multi-dimensional encoding technique. The multi-dimensional encoding technique includes multiple security layers and varies multiple physical characteristics of a communications signal. The multi-dimensional encoding technique may include at least one or more of encoding a phase of an optical communications signal, encoding a polarization of an optical communications signal, and encoding a frequency of an optical communications signal, or any combination thereof. According to embodiments of the invention, the encoding and/or any decoding of the optical communications signal may be carried out using one or more of an optical phase shift coding, a polarization multiplexing, and a multi-wavelength control. Multi-dimensional encoding and decoding keys are provided.
