Broad area devices have already demonstrated threshold power densities (P<inf>th</inf> = current density × voltage) which will enable room temperature (RT) continuous-wave (CW) operation from 2.9 out to 4.6 μm (Fig. 1). The ICL architecture appears uniquely poised not only to offer complete spectral coverage (3–5 μm) but also to operate with low power dissipation. Some of the most recent ICLs display P<inf>th</inf> < 0.4 kW/cm<sup>2</sup> at 300 K (λ ∼ 3.6–4.0 μm), which is more than 20 times lower than the best P<inf>th</inf> reported to date for QCLs operating at the same temperature.

However, verifying the randomness of a bit stream generated by a device is exceedingly difficult. Even if a sequence of numbers passes all of the standard statistical tests, it is often impossible to certify the authenticity of the device and rule out the possibility that an adversary has loaded a predetermined sequence into an internal memory. Recently, it has been shown that the non-local correlations between entangled quantum systems can be used to verify the generation of true random numbers [1, 2]. This insight enables the construction of a private random number generator whose output can be verified as random through the violation of a Bell inequality, without requiring any assumptions about the internal mechanisms of the device.","PeriodicalId":273355,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Photonics Society Summer Topical Meeting Series","volume":"142 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129491640","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}
