Programmable frequency-bin quantum states in a nano-engineered silicon device

Frequency-bin qubits get the best of time-bin and dual-rail encodings, but require external modulators and pulse shapers to build arbitrary states. Here, instead, the authors work directly on-chip by controlling the interference of biphoton amplitudes gene ...

All-optical switching in epsilon-near-zero asymmetric directional coupler

Jiaye Wu, Qian Li

We propose an all-optical switch based on an asymmetric directional coupler structure with epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) layer. The nonlinear optical properties the of ENZ layer are analyzed by hot-electron dynamics process, and the all-optical operating perform ...

A photonic integrated continuous-travelling-wave parametric amplifier

Tobias Kippenberg, Rui Ning Wang, Nikolai Kuznetsov, Junqiu Liu, Jijun He

The ability to amplify optical signals is of pivotal importance across science and technology typically using rare-earth-doped fibres or gain media based on III-V semiconductors. A different physical process to amplify optical signals is to use the Kerr no ...

Long-life plastic optical fiber probes for scanning near-field optical microscope

Giovanni Dietler, Anton Smirnov, Ekaterina Rostova

Nowadays, sharpened glass fiber - made probes attached to a quartz tuning fork (TF) and exploiting the shear force - based feedback are by far the most popular in the field of SNOM. These probes are expensive, very fragile and their fabrication is difficul ...

A Fast and Versatile Quantum Key Distribution System with Hardware Key Distillation and Wavelength Multiplexing

Andreas Peter Burg, Jeremy Hugues-Felix Constantin, Nicolas Gisin

We present a compactly integrated, 625 MHz clocked coherent one-way quantum key distribution system which continuously distributes secret keys over an optical fibre link. To support high secret key rates, we implemented a fast hardware key distillation eng ...
