We describe a design for phase-matched Bragg scattering for single-photon conversion between two arbitrary frequencies. The bandwidth of the Bragg scattering process is calculated and immunity against competing processes is discussed.

We present measurements of χ(3) in silicon in the 2.35 to 2.75μm interval, showing Kerr coefficients close to 1×10−18 m2/W. The results clearly identify silicon as a promising platform for nonlinear processes in the mid-infrared.

Polarization-multiplexed-QAM requires huge QAM constellations to reach Tb/s-range with commercially-available symbol rates. In this invited paper, we describe four techniques to enable multi-Tb/s Ethernet, while employing reasonable signal-constellation sizes: four-dimensional (4D)-coded-modulation, 4D-multiband-coded-OFDM, generalized-OFDM, and spatial-domain-based-coded-modulation.

We proposed a spectrally-efficient, high-capacity, polarization-interleaved (PI) OWDM PON architecture. The transmission performance of a 3-channel 25GHz-PI-OWDM system is theoretically analyzed and experimentally demonstrated over 15-km SMF-28 access-network architecture.

Elaboration of low-losses highly non linear chalcogenide optical fibers for the generation of efficient non linear effects in the infrared remains a challenge. In recent years, much work has been devoted to the study of microstructured optical fibers (MOFs) with different designs and various elaboration processes. Their background losses were typically of several dB/m.

We investigate the decoherence of polarization-entangled photon pairs distributed over optical fibers with polarization mode dispersion. We characterize system configurations yielding entanglement sudden death and disappearance of non-locality and show the possibility of non-local compensation. Our results establish the ultimate boundaries for fiber-based quantum communications.
