A new concept of an optical spin generation using bright and dark soliton conversion behaviors within a modified optical add–drop filter known as PANDA ring resonator is proposed. The orthogonal solitons can be formed within the system and detected simultaneously at the output ports. Under the resonant condition, the dark and bright soliton pair corresponding to the left-hand and right-hand rotating solitons (photons) can be generated. When a soliton is absorbed by an object, an angular momentum of either +ħ or −ħ is imparted to the object, in which two possible spin states known as optoelectronic(soliton) spins are exhibited. Furthermore, an array of soliton spins, i.e. particles can be generated and detected by the proposed system, which can be used to form large scale spin generation.
► Orthogonal soliton pair is established, which is useful for photon entanglement application. ► Soliton spin is established and confirmed, which is available for long distance spin transport. ► The applications such as quantum gate, nano–antenna, and spintronic sensing can be formed.
