Adaptive receive telescope array for coherent free-space laser communications
In present, conventional system concepts for laser line-of-sight communications, mechanical coarseand ne-pointing units have to be implemented, resulting in a massive and bulky setup. Taking advantage of the phased array's inertia-free steering capability reduces the requirements on the ne-pointing mechanism and could even make it unnecessary. We are currently designing, breadboarding and testi...
متن کاملQuantum cryptography in free space with coherent-state light
In this paper, we present a proof-of-concept experimental demonstration of the secret key quantum cryptographic scheme. A tabletop communication link was set up in the free-space channel using ordinary lasers as transmitters, which emit coherent states of light, and quantumlimited direct detection was employed in the receivers. In the secret key scheme, one needs a supply of M possible quantum ...
متن کاملLaser cooling to quantum degeneracy.
We report on Bose-Einstein condensation in a gas of strontium atoms, using laser cooling as the only cooling mechanism. The condensate is formed within a sample that is continuously Doppler cooled to below 1 μK on a narrow-linewidth transition. The critical phase-space density for condensation is reached in a central region of the sample, in which atoms are rendered transparent for laser cooli...
متن کاملFree space relativistic quantum cryptography with faint laser pulses
A new protocol for quantum key distribution through empty space is proposed. Apart from the quantum mechanical restrictions on distinguishability of non-orthogonal states, the protocol employs additional restrictions imposed by special relativity. The protocol ensures generation of a secure key even for the source generating non-strictly single-photon quantum states and for arbitrary losses in ...
متن کاملLaser cooling of atoms, ions, or molecules by coherent scattering
We point out a laser cooling method for atoms, molecules, or ions at low saturation and large detuning from the particles' resonances. The moving particle modifies the field inside a cavity with a time delay characteristic of the cavity linewidth, while the field acts on the particle via the light shift. The dissipative mechanism can be interpreted as Doppler cooling based on preferential scatt...
