Licensable Technology
NuCrypt has a wide array of intellectual property related to the design and implementation of photonic/electronic systems. Our patents, designs, and general expertise can be transferred via consulting and licensing agreements or customized OEM solutions. We will work with customers to integrate any of our technologies, perform independent assessments of competing technologies to find the right match for the end user, or help with the design and testing of prototype systems. We have extensive knowledge in areas such as fiber optics, nonlinear optics, electronic control systems, optical measurement technology, and quantum optics.

Single Photon Detection (SPD) TechnologyNuCrypt has developed a broad expertise in SPD systems and applications. As an example of our capabilities, we leveraged a GHz gated single photon detector to perform high speed lidar imaging: (https://www.osapublishing.org). Our CPDS-1000 and CPDS-2000 products are designed for laboratory use and record various detector statistics between multiple SPDs, but the core components can be integrated in OEM systems.US Patents: |

Noise-Based Encryption NuCrypt has been a industry leader in researching and developing physical optical encryption
technologies. We have demonstrated systems through 100's of km's of fiber and via an
airplane-to- ground free space link. Our work includes the "AlphaEta" (also known as Y-00)
method of combining cryptographically secure bits (e.g. using the Advanced Encryption
Standard or AES) with optical noise to enhance security, and prototype OFDM RF systems
that use local optical random noise generators in lieu of optical noise. We have additional
patents and expertise in various related optical technologies including spectral phase
encryption.

Optical Sampling and Microwave Photonics NuCrypt has a variety of IP related to photonically assisted sampling / analog-to- digital
converter (ADC) and microwave photonics technologies. This technology could be used for
high performance and low size, weight, and power (SWAP) measurement of microwave
signals. Our flexible technology is compatible with either uniform or nonuniform sampling
intervals.

Entangled Photon Generation and Measurement NuCrypt has expertise in generating correlated photon pairs, polarization entangled photons, and time-bin entangled photons. We have developed products that can distribute entanglement over long distances and process or store the resulting data for analysis. Our systems typically use fiber optical nonlinearities for direct compatibility with fiber distribution, but our engineers have worked in other mediums as well. We can help determine which of the various technologies are right for your application and help to integrate quantum components into your systems.

Optical Signal Generation and ControlNuCrypt provides a variety of photonic and laser related products for laboratory or OEM use. Our suite of pulser products can be configured with programmable (pulse width, repetition rate, and temporal delay) optical and/or electrical outputs. Other technologies include calibrated fiber polarization control to deterministically generate any desired polarization transformation and a networked optical bit-error rate (BER) tester that can measure BER from multiple bi-directional DWDM links from any node. We regularly provide customized solutions to our customers so please inquire about your needs. |
