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

Matteo Galli, Marco Clementi

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 ...

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

Giovanni Dietler, Serguei Sekatski, 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 ...

Optical Nyquist-pulse generation with a power difference to the ideal sinc-shape sequence of < 1%

Luc Thévenaz, Camille Sophie Brès, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Armand Vedadi-Comte, Mohammad Amin Shoaie, Mohammad Mehdi Alem Karladani

Sinc-shaped Nyquist-pulses possess a rectangular spectrum. Thus, a sinc-pulse transmission minimizes the carrier spacing down to the baud rate, and therefore, substantially increases the transmissible data rates. These perspectives have led to a strong res ...

Optical Fibre optimized for the Reduction of Nonlinear effects

Luc Thévenaz

An optical fibre designed to simultaneously attenuate the effect of modulation instability and stimulated Raman scattering. A first solution proposes to use non-zero dispersion shifted fibres in the normal dispersion regime to reduce both influences at the ...
