An integrated coherent receiver frontend is compared to a fiber-pigtailed 90° hybrid in a realtime QPSK transmission experiment. Additionally the impact of carrier recovery filter width and phase deviations in the 90° hybrid is analyzed.

Testing, calibration, and validation of imaging sensors and imaging systems require bright sources of emission to simulate scene artifacts. Ideally, such sources are broadband or tunable over a wide wavelength region to provide spectral content to the scenes and/or to target the spectral response of the system. In the mid-infrared (IR), projection systems for sensor testing typically use globars, blackbodies, resistor arrays, optical parametric oscillators (OPO), or quantum cascade laser sources. Globars and resistor arrays are not bright enough to simulate high temperature artifacts which may be necessary for testing of some sensors and systems. OPO sources aand quantum cascade laser sources do not have the spectral coverage. To meet testing requirements for IR sensor systems, we have developed a broadband fiber based supercontinuum mid-IR source for projection systems.

We consider, experimentally and theoretically, the quantum frequency translation (i.e., noiseless conversion) of quantum states of light (Fig. 1), including single-photon states. This process is useful for allowing quantum optical systems (atoms, ions, cavities, fibers, detectors) operating at different wavelengths to communicate with each other. We recently developed the process of frequency translation in optical fiber through use of the Bragg scattering four-wave mixing process (Fig. 2). The high nonlinearity and the ability to control dispersion in photonic crystal fiber (PCF) enable efficient translation between nearby photon channels within the visible to-near-infrared spectral range, useful in quantum networks. This offers an important advantage compared with frequency translation using second-order nonlinear optical crystals, which limits the translation process to widely separated frequencies only.

The stringent WDM reliability requirement is increasingly difficult to meet. We study the design-in reliability of DFB InP lasers and showed that p-metal contact, epitaxial regrowth interface and substrate quality are influential in laser reliability. Significant reliability improvement is achieved with design and process optimization.

Generating entangled states of quantum memories over a long distance is an essential component for scalable quantum communication and its application such as quantum key distribution. Generation of entangled ion pairs mediated by photonic qubits has been demonstrated with trapped ytterbium (Yb) ions [1] and is a promising approach. However the wavelength of a single photon emitted by most trapped ions is in the ultraviolet (UV) or short-wavelength visible range where the maximum distribution distance of the photons is severely limited due to high absorption coefficient in a single mode optical fiber. To overcome this limitation, we are currently developing a frequency down-conversion scheme [2,3] which can coherently transfer a qubit stored in a 370 nm photon emitted by a Yb ion to another photon at 1310 nm which coincides with the low loss window of a telecom fiber.

Fluoride glass fibers have been first intensively developed for long haut telecommunication applications due to their ultra low theoretical optical loss (0.001 dB/km). After many years of intensive research, unfortunately, this goal has not been reached yet and remains a challenge. In the late nineties, the research activities around fluorides glasses and fibers have slowed down and only a few laboratories continue to have some ongoing activity focusing mainly on short and medium length applications such as fiber lasers, Supercontinuum, spectroscopy and laser power delivery…
