However, key exchange algorithms are optimally designed only to encode small datasets, such as text and voice sets, which makes rapidly processing large-scale datasets difficult. In this paper, we propose new schemes that can efficiently and securely provide PFS in double random phase encoding (DRPE) schemes for robust image cryptography. We demonstrate that the proposed complex sinusoidal waveform versions of the DH algorithm with fusion of a random phase mask (RPM) and ephemeral secret exponents can guarantee PFS. Different experimental results reveal that the proposed schemes can enhance the security of DRPE-based image cryptosystems using a one-time RPM and PFS. We also propose a ring-type PFS scheme in which an unlimited number of users can securely share a temporary session key, which is an extension of PFS for only two users. We provide formal proof for the schemes and prove feasibility through numerical simulations.","PeriodicalId":19750,"journal":{"name":"OSA Continuum","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44004825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dixit","doi":"10.1364/OSAC.430997","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1364/OSAC.430997","url":null,"abstract":"Enduring the rapidly growing demand for high data rates is the main challenge for the current network providers. Super passive optical network (Super-PON), a prominent next generation Ethernet PON (NG-EPON) candidate, can suffice this exponentially increasing data rate requirements. However, to appease such requirements, it employs many transceivers and increases the power-consumption of the network. In this work, we focus on reducing the carbon footprint of Super-PON and propose power-efficient dynamic bandwidth and wavelength allocation (DBWA) algorithms, namely best fit bin-packing sleep mode aware (BF-SMA) and updated BF-SMA (UBF-SMA). The proposed algorithms use SMA for bandwidth scheduling and different bin-packing techniques for wavelength allocation. In bin-packing, the number of available wavelengths and their efficient allocation is based on the network load. For restricting the number of available wavelengths, we can switch off the non-essential transceivers at the OLT, which also helps in maximizing the wavelength utilization and increasing the power efficiency. The simulation results show that in comparison to the state-of-the-art DBWA algorithms, the proposed algorithms improve the power efficiency and reduce the average delay of a Super-PON system. Furthermore, we use Jain’s fairness index to validate the fairness of the proposed DBWA algorithms.","PeriodicalId":19750,"journal":{"name":"OSA Continuum","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48392083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the blood component, the 0.001 refractive index increment causes a 6.1025 g/l hemoglobin (HB) level increment, which has been detected using this SPR based sensor with 200 deg/RIU angular sensitivity.

We establish a detuning curve as a function of intensity for each shape at two different cell temperatures. After proper scaling, the detuning curves all collapse onto one universal detuning curve, which suggests that the shapes are manifestations of the same underlying phenomenon.","PeriodicalId":19750,"journal":{"name":"OSA Continuum","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48272541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Classical compensation methods are hard to apply to entangled photons, due to inherently low signal to noise ratios and the fragility of entanglement. We have recently shown that we can use a bright laser beam that pumps spontaneous parametric down conversion to control the spatial correlations between entangled photons for compensating their scattering. In this work, we apply the pump-shaping technique to compensate for the scrambling of correlations between entangled photons that scatter by emulated atmospheric turbulence. We use a spatial light modulator and Kolmogorov’s turbulence model to emulate atmospheric turbulence in the lab, and enhance the entangled photons’ signal by a factor of fifteen using pump optimization. We show this for both a static and dynamic emulated atmosphere, and also demonstrate the compensation of the scattering of a higher-order mode. Our results can open the door towards realizing free-space quantum links with entangled photons, used in applications such as quantum key distribution.","PeriodicalId":19750,"journal":{"name":"OSA Continuum","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47564626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We use the device to simultaneously measure two low-order spatio-temporal couplings resulting from a misaligned chromatic lens doublet. Besides being a new implementation of spatio-spectral characterization of ultrashort pulses, this technique allows for more accuracy and stability in spatio-spectral characterization and a push to shorter wavelengths, and may ultimately enable sparse measurements.","PeriodicalId":19750,"journal":{"name":"OSA Continuum","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46351263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Amplification of the injected CW laser light cross-modulates the gain of the oscillator, resulting in an intra-cavity power modulation, thus providing control of the CEO frequency. The XGM method is then compared with the conventional pump-current modulation scheme.
