Towards Conceiving Feasible Fully Optical Routers, Multiplexers and Synchronizers

Abstract

Outgoing from the overwhelming evidence for untenability of the Einstein’s Second postulate on light speed invariance for two inertial systems moving with respect to each other, firstly a crucial Reductio-ad-Absurdum proof has been provided, followed by the proposal for experimental verification for the mechanism of increasing or decreasing the group light signal velocity by relative motion of transmitter with respect to the receiver. The proposed experiment emulates the binary stars configuration, without any intervening interstellar medium, that - based on up-to-date Ritz’s Emission Theory – ‘amortizes’ the light velocity during the propagation and contributes to discrepancy between the variations in stars’ luminosity and the Doppler shifts presented in line spectra as received on Earth. Experimental results of the proposed set-up can be used as Proof of Concept for feasibility of both imposing delay and advancement of optical signals, so that by heavy downsizing of the proposed experimental set-up through utilization of nanotechnology and related photonics advancements, the time of arrival of optical signals can be appropriately adjusted (with accompanying signals time-frequency domain scaling) to enable implementation of entirely optical multiplexers, routers and synchronizers. To provide comparison with the conventionally pursued methods which emulate the electronics-based digital signals processing technology, bit- and packet-level multiplexers are used
