Next Generation Encryption Devices
Quantum Random Number Generation on a Chip
In this section, you can view images from my lab work in Dr. Carol Scarletts Laboratory from which I gained hands on experience with Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University Physics Research Department, the Center for Plasma Science and Technology (CePAST) in Innovation Park, Tallahassee. I was one of the students helping create attenuators with Fiber Optic Cables, and coming up with a feasible method to cleanly assemble devices. Process included trial and error to see best method to remove cladding without damaging the 50 micron sized glass.Originally, after taking the cables out of the blue jacket, I attempted to strip excess material with wire cutters. This method worked, but left a lot of cladding; and any attempts to apply pressure would result in loss of length from the glass cables. With my professor, Dr. Scarlett, we decided to use chemicals to finish removing glass cladding. Once we had enough, we laid the fiber optic cables side by side (21x21) to create a box; and connected them to the attenuators.
