  • Patent number: 11018797
    Abstract: A fiber optic light intensity encryption method is provided. The method includes determining light intensities associated with multi-frequency light pulses emitted by a laser transmitter apparatus in response to an encryptions process. An encryption type for application of an encryption algorithm to each light intensity is determined and a first light intensity associated with a first light pulse is selected. Data indicating results of the random selection is transmitted to the laser transmitter apparatus and an initial security key is transmitted over a signaling channel of the laser transmitter apparatus. The signaling channel is secured based on the initial security key resulting in a secure signaling channel. In response, a secure bundle comprising said the secure signaling channel and an additional group of channels is generated and the data is transmitted via the secure bundle.

  • Patent number: 10578947
    Abstract: A media-defined optical logic circuit composed of a set of light-transmitting polyhedral prisms arranged so that a pair of adjacent prisms can exchange photonic signals through adjacent surfaces. Each prism contains one or more quantum dots that, when excited by a photonic signal received from an adjacent prism, respond by emitting light that becomes an incoming photonic signal for an adjacent prism. Photonic signals are propagated through the circuit in this manner along light-guide paths created by shading certain surfaces to render them fully or partially opaque. The prisms and shading are arranged such that the circuit performs a certain logic function. When the circuit receives a set of photonic input signals representing a binary input value, the circuit responds by emitting a set of photonic output signals that represent a binary output value determined by performing the logic function upon the binary input value.

  • Patent number: 10230461
    Abstract: A bandwidth throttling method is provided. The method includes receiving by a receiver from a QD Vcel cannon, a plurality of multi-frequency light pulses via a plurality of channels. The receiver determines that the plurality of multi-frequency light pulses comprises an out of band (OOB) signal transmitted over a first channel of the plurality of channels. The receiver receives from a first laser device of the QD Vcel cannon, a first light pulse of the plurality of multi-frequency light pulses. The first light pulse includes a first frequency for testing a visibility of the first light pulse at the receiver. The receiver determines if the first light pulse is visible at the receiver.
