Abstract

A new system of multifunction sensors using dark and bright solitons in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) is proposed. In this concept, the coincidence dark and bright soliton pair within the MZI can be arranged by using the phase controller, in which (|D)) and (|B)) states represent the orthogonal dark and bright solitons, respectively. We assume that both solitons are input into the MZI ports simultaneously (coincidently). The randomly input dark and bright soliton states into the MZI ports can perform the change in phase after propagating through a phase shifter/sensing unit, in which the phase change recovery using the phase related measurement device can be provided. By using the orthogonal soliton behaviors, a sensing application using a soliton(photon) pair can be formed. Moreover, the soliton power can be reduced to a single photon power (10-6W), where finally the single photon sensor can be operated. The self calibration concept between signal and referencing arms of a MZI can also be established, which is discussed in details.

Quantum CNOT Gate Operation using Dark-Bright Soliton Pair

A simple system of a quantum CNOT gate operation using dark and bright solitons in a Mach Zhender interferometer (MZI) is proposed. In this concept, two qubits are randomly generated by using the coincidence dark and bright soliton states within the MZI, in which (D ) and (B ) represent the orthogonal dark and bright soliton states, which they are input into the MZI input ports simultaneously. The randomly input dark and bright soliton pulses can perform the random logical codes after propagating through a phase retarder of (π/2). By using low power soliton, the soliton power can reduce to a single photon power (10-6 W), where finally the quantum gate can be performed by using the single photon detection scheme. The quantum controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate is formed by controlling the input and coincidence solitons (photons), where in some cases the phase shifter is required to obtain the coincidence solitons. type your own text.

Novel communication security scheme using dark-bright soliton conversion behaviors

We propose a novel scheme of communication security using dark-bright soliton conversion behaviors in which the transmission signals can be secured by using the random codes generated by dark-bright soliton conversion within the system. The system consists of two parts, where first, an optical Mach Zhender interferometer (MZI) is used to generate the coincidence dark and bright soliton pair by using the (π/2) phase retarder (i.e., a coupler), in which |D〉 and |B〉 states represent the orthogonal dark and bright soliton pulses. The signals from through (Th) port are formed and transmitted via the transmission line to the end user. Second, the add/drop filter is used to separate(filter) the required signal form the transmission link, in which the Th and drop port signals are formed as a reference and signal, respectively. In this case, we assume that both solitons are input into the MZI ports simultaneously (coincidently), in which the binary codes are randomly formed and used to present the transmission data, in which the states "0" and "1" are represented by |DB〉 and |BD〉, respectively. Finally, the eavesdropper and signal accuracy are also described.

The Controlled Phase Shifts of Photons in the Mach-Zehnder Interferometer

Jiří Stávek

The Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) is a two-path phase-to-intensity transducer that becomes "mysterious" mainly when one conflates operational facts, minimal predictive calculus, and ontological storytelling.Controlled phase shifts are the central "knob" of the MZI: a tunable relative phase Φ converts directly into complementary output intensities at the two ports.In this model, photons enter the MZI with classical instructions: the "white" photons with E 2 = 1 (where E is the electric field of the sinusoidal electromagnetic wave at the given moment) are reflected on the beamsplitters, the "grey" photons with E 2 = 0.5 can be both reflected and transmitted through the beamsplitters (with 50:50 ratio), and the "black" photons with E 2 = 0 transmit through the beamsplitters.The movable mirrors and the second beamsplitter modify the "color" of photons.The 50:50 mixture of "white" and "black" photons at the input is separated by the first beamsplitter.The phase shifts are modified by movable mirrors so that the second beamsplitter organizes the resulting structure of photons at the two detectors.The interference patterns have been formed from two sub-ensembles of photons with their relative phase shift ΔΦ = π at the given port.We assume that this classical behavior of photons in the MZI can clarify the "riddle-like" discussions (e.g., delayed choice switching, the meaning of a dark port, and the role of which-way information).

Soliton Cryptography Using Dark-bright Conversion in a PANDA

Sa-nga Songmuang, Xaythavy Louangvilay, Somsak Mitatha +3 more

We proposed a concept of cryptography using dark-bright soliton conversion be- haviors within a nonlinear ring resonator, in which the orthogonal soliton is established among the soliton conversion. A new model of add/drop fllters is modifled which is known as a PANDA ring resonator is proposed. The orthogonal solitons can be formed randomly within the system and detected simultaneously at the output ports. The entangled solitons (photons) can be formed in the same way of the entangled photons, but in this case the entangled soliton pair is gained more power that gives the advantage of long distance communication.
