Free-space quantum key distribution by rotation-invariant twisted photons.
"Twisted photons" are photons carrying a well-defined nonzero value of orbital angular momentum (OAM). The associated optical wave exhibits a helical shape of the wavefront (hence the name) and an optical vortex at the beam axis. The OAM of light is attracting a growing interest for its potential in photonic applications ranging from particle manipulation, microscopy, and nanotechnologies to fu...
متن کاملGeneration of paired photons with controllable waveforms.
We describe experiments and theory showing the generation of counterpropagating paired photons with coherence times of about 50 ns and waveforms that are controllable at a rudimentary level. Using cw lasers, electromagnetically induced transparency and cold 87Rb atoms we generate paired photons into opposing single-mode optical fibers at a rate of approximately 12 000 pairs per second.
متن کاملBiphoton in a Dispersive Medium
We report an experimental study of group-velocity dispersion effect on an entangled two-photon wavepacket, generated via spontaneous parametric downconversion and propagating through a dispersive medium. Even in the case of using CW laser beam for pump, the biphoton wavepacket and the secondorder correlation function spread significantly. The study and understanding of this phenomenon is of gre...
متن کاملNovel mid-infrared dispersive wave generation in gas-filled PCF by transient ionization-driven changes in dispersion
Gas-filled hollow-core photonic crystal fibre (PCF) is being used to generate ever wider supercontinuum spectra, in particular via dispersive wave (DW) emission in the deep and vacuum ultraviolet, with a multitude of applications. DWs are the result of the resonant transfer of energy from a self-compressed soliton, a process which relies crucially on phase matching. It was recently predicted th...
