Abstract: A multicore optical fiber that includes a plurality of waveguiding cores disposed in a cladding. The plurality of waveguiding cores include one or more first waveguiding cores that have a first propagation constant and one or more second waveguiding cores that have a second propagation constant, where the first propagation constant differs from the second propagation constant. The one or more first waveguiding cores and the one or more second waveguiding cores are disposed in the cladding in a ring distribution and at least a portion of the ring distribution is arranged based on a quasi-periodic sequence having a plurality of sequence segments. Each sequence segment is determined based on a quasi-periodic function, has an order, and corresponds to an arrangement segment of a first waveguiding cores, a second waveguiding cores, or combinations thereof. The ring distribution includes at least one arrangement segment corresponding with a third-order sequence segment or higher of the quasi-periodic sequence.

Abstract: A quantum key generation system intended to mitigate the effect of the dead time of the photon detectors, the system including a photon generator, a photon pathway, a channel switch, and a photon detector unit. The photon pathway optically couples the photon generator and the channel switch. The channel switch is disposed between and optically coupled to the photon pathway and the photon detector unit. The photon detector unit includes a plurality of photon detectors and a plurality of detector unit sub-channels. Each detector unit sub-channel of the plurality of detector unit sub-channels optically couples the channel switch with an individual photon detector of the plurality of photon detectors. The channel switch is actuatable between a plurality of optical engagement positions. Further, each optical engagement position of the channel switch optically couples the photon pathway with a photon detector of the plurality of photon detectors. A plurality of quantum memories may be respectively placed between the switch and the plurality of photon detectors.

Abstract: A touch system that employs interference effects is disclosed. The touch system includes first and second waveguides that have first and second optical paths that define an optical path difference. The first and second waveguides are configured so that a touch event deforms at least one of the waveguides in a manner that causes the optical path difference to change. The change in the optical path difference is detected by combining the light traveling in the two waveguides to form interfered light. The interfered light is processed to determine the occurrence of a touch event. The time-evolution of the deformation at the touch-event location can also be determined by measuring the interfered light over the duration of the touch event.

Abstract: Methods for modifying multi-mode optical fiber manufacturing processes are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for modifying a process for manufacturing multi-mode optical fiber includes measuring at least one characteristic of a multi-mode optical fiber. The at least one characteristic is a modal bandwidth or a differential mode delay at one or more wavelengths. The method further includes determining a measured peak wavelength of the multi-mode optical fiber based on the measured characteristic, determining a difference between the target peak wavelength and the measured peak wavelength, and modifying the process for manufacturing multi-mode optical fiber based on the difference between the target peak wavelength and the measured peak wavelength.

Abstract: A quantum memory system includes a chalcogenide optical fiber link, a magnetic field generation unit and a pump laser. The chalcogenide optical fiber link includes a photon receiving end opposite a photon output end and is positioned within a magnetic field of the magnetic field generation unit when the magnetic field generation unit generates the magnetic field. The pump laser is optically coupled to the photon receiving end of the chalcogenide optical fiber link. The chalcogenide optical fiber link includes a core doped with a rare-earth element dopant. The rare-earth element dopant is configured to absorb a storage photon traversing the chalcogenide optical fiber link upon receipt of a first pump pulse output by the pump laser. Further, the rare-earth element dopant is configured to release the storage photon upon receipt of a second pump pulse output by the pump laser.
