The security of the aforementioned protocols can be shown by using entropic uncertainty measures, which are based on quantum information quantities, among which the entropies are found. In this work, we propose an entropic measure of steering, starting from the detection of steering given in a previous entropic uncertainty relation-based criterion, as well as using a generalised entropy, the Tsallis entropies. We define the entropic measure of steering in terms of an indicator, a quantity depending on the entropies of the measurements of the system, which assigns a value to the steering content of quantum states, while also comprising the asymmetry property of steering. We investigate the properties of the proposed quantity as a measure of steering and its asymmetry and show how it can be used for specific examples. For instance, a class of noisy two-qubit states that includes the Werner states is used to demonstrate the potential of such a proposal. Furthermore, a comparison is also made with the detection of steering in these states using existing steering criteria and the amount of steering a geometric measure for the Werner state gives.","PeriodicalId":16775,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optics","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142180997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At any one time, the photons have no alternatives, only one possible path is possible. There is no path bifurcation in the setup, i.e. no ‘Y’ where the photons can take left or right. The photons choice, if any, is to arrive/collapse before or after the time t1 when the time modulated medium changes its state. In time-varying media, as energy can be exchanged between the wave and medium, the wave frequency is modified. Thus, the diverted photons become doubly tagged, in their wave vector direction as well as their frequency. A streak camera detector array resolves both, the fringe pattern as well as the frequency beats, in a space versus time interferogram. This apparatus has temporal resolution and spatial resolution. Several TDI configurations are described, two of them are implemented: a spatio-temporal interferometer where the ‘which path’ criterion is readily observed and an all temporal TDI where only temporal interference is present. Novel possibilities of TDI schemes are discussed.","PeriodicalId":16775,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optics","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142180996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The TW-SOA acted as a lumped amplifier, enabling pulse generation within the comb. The proposed method of OFC generation achieved a comb spectrum with 51 lines and a maximum power deviation of 1.8 dB, indicating excellent spectral flatness. The proposed approach effectively utilized XPolM in a TW-SOA to create broad flat OFCs. The effectiveness of XPolM depends on various SOA parameters, such as pump and signal powers, and the confinement factor. To understand the XPolM-enabled OFC behavior, various parameters, such as input polarization, bias current, SOA confinement factor, and carrier density, have been optimized. These parameters significantly influenced the generated comb spectrum. This study also provides valuable insights into optimizing comb characteristics through theoretical analysis. The proposed OFC generation was simulated using an OptiSystem simulator. This has paved the way for the potential use of the comb as a multichannel source in various optical devices.","PeriodicalId":16775,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optics","volume":"114 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142180994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We found that the AC PN junction capacitance could be significantly decreased by specific doping concentrations in the slab areas. Benefiting from this effect, microwave losses are reduced and the electro-optic (EO) bandwidth is increased. As a proof-of-concept, we propose a silicon modulator based on a conventional lateral PN junction with optimized doping in the waveguide slab region. The simulation results show that a 3 dB-EO bandwidth exceeds 100 GHz can be achieved with a modulation length of 2 mm. In addition, the modulation efficiencies are 1.26 V·cm and 1.45 V·cm under −4 V bias and −6 V bias, respectively.

It has been shown that a decrease in the distance from the nearest QW to the structure boundary leads to an increase in the phase velocity of the generated plasmon–phonon and a decrease in the power absorbed by phonons in the barriers. This leads to a decrease in the threshold concentration of nonequilibrium carriers required to begin of plasmon–phonon gain under conditions of optical excitation.","PeriodicalId":16775,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optics","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142181017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
