Noise-Stationary Locking and Phase-Controlled Dark-Port Injection

Jon Peterson · Peterson Quantum Sensing, LLC

Introduces the Noise-Stationary Locking (NSL) control concept — servoing an interferometer toward the operating point where a normalized measurement-band noise objective is stationary rather than where optical power is extremal — and the companion Phase-Controlled Dark-Port Injection (DPI) technique that turns the nominally dark port into a controlled channel for calibration, coding, and matched-filter recovery. Non-confidential treatment based on the PQSensing patent-pending math and control architecture (non-provisional filed).

Objective-Function Supervisory Control Modules for Interferometric Systems

Jon Peterson · Peterson Quantum Sensing, LLC

Generalizes NSL into a family of Advanced Supervisory Control Modules: a firmware performance layer that runs alongside a conventional optical lock and holds precision instruments at their best measurement operating point across quantum metrology, inertial sensing, optical clocks, and quantum communications.

Advanced Supervisory Modules for Atom-Interferometric Measurement Systems

Jon Peterson · Peterson Quantum Sensing, LLC

Extends the supervisory-module and Information-Stationary Locking (ISL) framework from optical interferometers to matter-wave sensors — cold-atom gravimeters, gyroscopes, and accelerometers — where laser phase, pulse timing, atom number, and detection noise jointly limit inertial measurement.
