Device Length Dependency of Cross Gain Modulation and Cross Phase Modulation in Semiconductor Optical Amplifier

The cross gain modulation, the cross phase modulation and their recovery time in the SOAs with the various lengths were experimentally investigated. It was found that these values strongly depended on the device length.

Controllable double electromagnetically induced transparency in a closed four-level-loop cavity-atom system

We present a theoretical study of an optical cavity coupled with single four-level atoms in closed loop formed via applied control lasers. The transmitted probe field from the cavity is analyzed. We show that the electromagnetically induced transparency（EIT） in the cavity and the normal mode splitting will be very different with changing the closed interaction phase and the intensity of the free-space control laser. This coupled cavity-atom system presents a variational double-EIT that comes from modulating the splitting of the dark state, which means that we could realize the gradual transfer between one EIT peak and two EIT peaks by adjusting the applied control lasers, and the normal mode splitting sidebands will shift slightly by changing the free-space control laser. This means that we could control the output cavity probe field more freely and it is easer to realize optical switch controlled by more parameters. We also depict the angular dispersion of the intracavity probe field in different free-space control laser. The large phase shift（-π → π） of the reflected intracavity probe field will be very useful for optical temporal differentiation and quantum phase gate.

Optical parity gate and a wide range of entangled states generation

Generating entangled states efficiently is a hot topic in the area of quantum information science.With the approach presented in this paper,a general parity gate could be realized and a wide range of entangled states,including GHZ state,W state,Dicke state,arbitrary graph state and locally maximally entanglable states,can be generated flexibly.The generation of GHZ state,W state,and Dicke state is probabilistic but heralded and the total success probability is unit.In addition,the arbitrary graph state and locally maximally entanglable states generation is deterministic,flexible,and highly efficient.Especially,with the"simultaneous"generation pattern,the complexity of the graph state generation and locally maximally entanglable states generation could be reduced greatly,providing a more efficient and feasible way to generate the entangled states.

Multiple multicontrol unitary operations: Implementation and applications

The efficient implementation of computational tasks is critical to quantum computations. In quantum circuits, multicontrol unitary operations are important components. Here, we present an extremely efficient and direct approach to multiple multicontrol unitary operations without decomposition to CNOT and single-photon gates. With the proposed approach, the necessary twophoton operations could be reduced from O(n^3) with the traditional decomposition approach to O(n), which will greatly relax the requirements and make large-scale quantum computation feasible. Moreover, we propose the potential application to the(n-k)-uniform hypergraph state.

On the Performance of MLR Optical WDM Network Based on ITU-T Conforming Fibers in the Presence of Dominant Physical Layer Impairments

The tremendous and consistent increase in the volume and heterogeneity of traffic has resulted in major innovations in the telecommunication networks.In regard to the optical networks,existing studies have shown that by adopting a mixed line rate(MLR)strategy,the wavelength division multiplexed optical networks can cost-effectively respond to the diverse variety of traffic requirements which have heterogeneous service demands.Unlike existing studies which focus on various MLR network issues by considering deployment of the standard single mode fiber only within the network,in the current work,we investigate the signal quality deterioration due to the combined effects of dominant physical layer impairments for an MLR optical network conforming to the various ITU-T compliant fibers and also considering the optical frequency grid based on ITU-T Recommendation G.692.The main aim of our current study is to identify,for a given fiber,the modulation format configuration which provides the highest performance.We conduct extensive simulations on the considered MLR system using the obtained optimum channel spacing values between the single and mixed line rates.Our results show that the existence of 10 Gbit/s line rate has a detrimental effect on the 40 Gbit/s and/or 100 Gbit/s line rate;however,the 40 Gbit/s and/or 100 Gbit/s line rate’s effect on a 10 Gbit/s line rate is not so detrimental,as well as between the similar line rates.Overall,our results clearly show that choice of the line rate of both,the central channel and its adjacent channels,has a major effect on the MLR network performance.
