Optical Networking With Hybrid Optical Vortices

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a system comprising a processor, from a first nanofiber communication path, a hybrid optical vortex that carries an internet protocol packet;
• decoupling, by the system, the hybrid optical vortex to extract a first optical vortex that encapsulates the internet protocol packet;
• directing, by the system, the first optical vortex through a beam splitter of a quantum scissor to create a second optical vortex and a third optical vortex, wherein each of the second optical vortex and the third optical vortex encapsulates an instance of the internet protocol packet;
• placing, by the system, the second optical vortex in an optical holding track to preserve the second optical vortex;
• creating, by the system, using the third optical vortex, a fourth optical vortex;
• analyzing, by the system, the fourth optical vortex to determine a subsequent communication path to provide the instance of the internet protocol packet encapsulated by the second optical vortex;
• releasing, by the system, the second optical vortex from the optical holding track;
• and
• switching, by the system, the instance of the internet protocol packet from the second optical vortex to a subsequent communication path based on analysis of the fourth optical vortex.

A computer storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor of a system, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, from a first nanofiber communication path, a hybrid optical vortex that carries an internet protocol packet;
• decoupling the hybrid optical vortex to extract a first optical vortex that encapsulates the internet protocol packet;
• directing the first optical vortex through a beam splitter of a quantum scissor to create a second optical vortex and a third optical vortex, wherein each of the second optical vortex and the third optical vortex encapsulates an instance of the internet protocol packet;
• placing the second optical vortex in an optical holding track to preserve the second optical vortex;
• creating, using the third optical vortex, a fourth optical vortex;
• analyzing the fourth optical vortex to determine a subsequent communication path to provide the instance of the internet protocol packet encapsulated by the second optical vortex;
• releasing the second optical vortex from the optical holding track;
• and
• switching the instance of the internet protocol packet from the second optical vortex to a subsequent communication path based on analysis of the fourth optical vortex.
