  • Publication number: 20060152383
    Abstract: Hybrid electrical-optical telemetry systems and methods are disclosed. The methods and systems facilitate faster data transmission rates between the surface and downhole tools and sensors. The methods and systems may also include a downhole electrical bus for inter-tool and intra-tool communication to facilitate limited changes to existing downhole equipment. Some embodiments of the hybrid electrical-optical telemetry system include a light source at the surface and a downhole modulator. Some embodiments also include redundant, selectable optical systems. The methods and systems may operate via a single optical input/output cable.

  • Patent number: 6868103
    Abstract: Apparatus for single photon source based on emitters with frequencies distributed in a chosen manner. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises an opto-electronic component capable or emitting light pulses containing a single photon comprising a resonant optical cavity and a group of photon emitters placed in this optical cavity, a single one of these emitters having an emission frequency equal to approximately the resonant frequency of the cavity characterised in that all emitters have a spectral distribution with a concentration of emitter frequencies at a given frequency, and in that the cavity is made so that its resonant frequency is different from this concentration frequency so that the number of emitters with an emission frequency corresponding to the resonant frequency of the cavity is close to one.

  • Publication number: 20030152228
    Abstract: The invention concerns an optoelectronic component capable of emitting light pulses containing a single photon comprising an optical resonant cavity (100) and a photon-emitting unit (250) placed in said optical cavity (100), a single one of the transmitters (250) having a transmission frequency substantially equal to the resonance frequency (M) of the cavity (100). The invention is characterised in that the set of transmitters (250) has a spectral distribution having a concentration of frequencies of transmitters (250) in a given frequency (P) and the cavity (100) is designed to have a resonance frequency (M) sufficiently far from said concentration frequency (P) for the number of transmitters (250) having a transmission frequency corresponding to the resonance frequency (M) of the cavity (100) to be close to one.
