Patent ID: 6859572

Claim:
A photon operating device characterized in using dual signals correlated to each other, which are obtained by dividing a photon beam, wherein paths of photons are provided by a plurality of first optical fibers and a plurality of second optical fibers or optical waveguides that are disposed in a form of a grating in a two-dimensional plane, the second optical fibers or optical waveguides contacting along and partially surrounding a length of an arc of an outer circumferences of the first optical fibers at an intersection thereof, wherein a photon beam introduced into a selected one of said first optical fibers is divided at said intersection to create said dual signals correlated to each other, one of said dual signals being transmitted through within said selected first optical fiber, the other of said dual signals being led out from said selected first optical fiber externally of said two-dimensional plane at said intersection, and wherein the one of said dual signals, which is an inversion signal of the other of said dual signals led out externally of said two-dimensional plane, is stored in storage means synchronously with leading out the other of said dual signals externally of said two-dimensional plane.
