This paper presents an equiangular spiral (ES) cladding photonic crystal fiber (PCF) made of lead silicate glass SF57. The proposed ES-PCF exhibits a flat dispersion at the telecommunications window with high nonlinearity and low confinement loss, showing an ultra-flattened dispersion at wavelengths ranging from 1.51 to 1.81 μm (300 nm band), with confinement losses of less than 0.0031 dB/km within this wavelength range, and two zero-dispersion wavelengths at 1.55 and 1.76 μm. Moreover, this fiber also has a high nonlinear coefficient of 1285 W-1km-1 at 1.55 μm.

StarDriver was recently proposed as a highly flexible laser driver for inertial confinement fusion and high energy density physics. It envisions a laser drive consisting of very many beams at an aperture and energy where the optical technology is well-developed, used in concert to create a large scale laser driver system. In this paper we describe a StarDriver–class laser with 5120 physical beamlets disposed about the target chamber in 80 evenly spaced ports, each port containing 64 beamlets, each beamlet having about ~1.5 THz of 2D SSD bandwidth and suitable phase plates, an aperture of ~65 mm, an energy of 80 J, and frequency-converted to ~351 nm. StarDriver has many beamlets at an aperture where optical technology is well-developed, and each beamlet has energy ~100 J in a several times diffraction limited beam. The ensemble of beamlets has frequency bandwidth 2%-10%, thereby providing significant control of both hydrodynamic and laser-plasma instabilities The drive at the target is ~400 kJ, has a well-behaved low L-mode spectrum, and smooth’s very rapidly, reaching an asymptotic smoothness of <1% in less than 1 ns. We also review recent results showing that the 2ωpe instability can be significantly reduced by 20 THz bandwidth.

This paper introduces remarkable achievement in theory on non-orthogonal state in quantum optics that can describe macroscopic quantum effect, and gives a survey of theorems in quantum information science based on non-orthogonal state. Then it is shown that these provide potential applications to Quantum Methodology such as quantum reading, quantum imaging and to Quantum Enigma Cipher which is a general model of physical cipher

To meet energy-efficient performance needs, the computation has positioned to parallel computer architectures, such as chip multiprocessors (CMPs), internally interconnected via networks-on-Chip (NoC) to achieve increasing communication needs. To accomplish scaling execution as center include increment to the hundreds future CMPs, all things considered, will require elite, yet vitality productive interconnects. Silicon Nano photonics is a promising swap for electronic on-chip interconnect for its high data transfer capacity and low inactivity, by the by, earlier methods have required high static force for the laser and warm ring tuning. We propose novel Nano photonic NoC (PNoC) design, upgraded for elite and force effectiveness. This paper makes three essential elements: a novel, Nano photonic engineering which isolates the system into subnets for better productivity; an exclusively photonic, inband, appropriated discretion plan; and a channel sharing schematic are using the same waveguides and wavelengths for intervention as information transmission. As a result the interconnection can be reduced latency with increased throughput.

Optical links using traditional modulation formats are reaching a plateau in terms of capacity, mainly due to bandwidth limitations in the devices employed at the transmitter and receivers. Advanced modulation formats, which boost the spectral efficiency, provide a smooth migration path towards effectively increase the available capacity. Advanced modulation formats however require digitalization of the signals and digital signal processing blocks to both generate and recover the data. There is therefore a trade-off in terms of efficiency gain vs complexity. Polybinary modulation, a generalized form of partial response modulation, employs simple codification and filtering at the transmitter to drastically increase the spectral efficiency. At the receiver side, polybinary modulation requires low complexity direct detection and very little digital signal processing. This paper provides an overview of the current research status of the key building blocks in polybinary systems. The results clearly show how polybinary modulation effectively reduces the bandwidth requirements on optical links while providing high spectral efficiency.
