Abstract
In an example, a system comprises a first optical device, a second optical device, and an optical modulator. The first optical device, in a non-cryogenic environment, receives a light signal, outputs the light signal, receives a first modulated light signal, and outputs the first modulated light signal into the non-cryogenic environment. The second optical device, in a cryogenic environment, receives the light signal from the first optical device, outputs the light signal, receives the first modulated light signal, and outputs the first modulated light signal. The optical modulator, in the cryogenic environment, receives the light signal from the second optical device, modulates the light signal to produce the first modulated light signal and a second modulated light signal, outputs the second modulated light signal, and outputs the first modulated light signal to the second optical device.
