Abstract: An optical storage device utilizing quantum silos includes a multiplicity of quantum silos in a substrate. Each silo includes one or more quantum dots and a multiplicity of crystals of an orthogonal shape surrounding a quantum dot. The crystals are positioned in an array at each corner, a set of mirrors are positioned at remaining cells of a perimeter of the array and an orthogonally shaped crystal surrounding a quantum dot is positioned at an interior cell. A set of receivers surrounds each silo and points inwardly towards the perimeter. A storage layer is formed by a matrix of the silos with alternate matrix cells marking a position of a corresponding silo and remaining cells transporting data from the silos. A reading and a writing layer are sandwiched beneath the storage layer and multiple sandwiched layers are stacked to form a storage unit with an igniter layer disposed therebetween.

Abstract: A fiber optic encryption method is provided. The method includes transmitting an initial security key to a laser receiver apparatus over an out of band (OOB) signaling channel of a plurality of channels of a laser transmitter apparatus. The OOB signaling channel is secured based on the initial security key resulting in a secure OOB signaling channel. A secure bundle is generated. The secure bundle includes the secure OOB signaling channel and a group of channels and associated transmission frequencies. Data is transmitted via the secure bundle and it is determined if any channels do not transmit the data.

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.
