  • Quantum sensor miniaturization utilizing entangled photon signals
    Patent number: 7928356
    Abstract: The resolution obtained by an imaging system utilizing separable photons can be achieved by an imaging system making use of entangled photons. Since resolution is not being increased from the separable-photon system, the imaging system utilizing entangled photons can take advantage of a smaller aperture. This results in a smaller and lighter system, which can be especially valuable in satellite imaging where weight and size play a vital role.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 14, 2008
    Date of Patent: April 19, 2011
    Assignee: The MITRE Corporation
    Inventors: Gerald N. Gilbert, Michael D. Hamrick, Yaakov S. Weinstein, Stephen P. Pappas, Anthony Donadio

  • System and method for wave vector multiplexed laser communication
    Patent number: 7639948
    Abstract: Wave vector division multiplexing (“WVDM”) is a method of free-space multiplexing for optical communications. In WVDM, wave vectors of individual laser beams are manipulated so that each individual laser beam has a unique wave vector. These individual laser beams are multiplexed into an aggregate beam, which is transmitted to a receiver. The receiver separates the individual laser beams on the basis of their unique wave vectors. One area where WVDM is useful is in quantum cryptography. WVDM can also be combined with traditional wavelength division multiplexing (“WDM”) to increase throughput even further.
