Phase stabilization of a coherent fibre network by single-photon counting

2019 · arXiv (Cornell University)

Coherent optical fibre networks are extremely sensitive to thermal, mechanical and acoustic noise, which requires elaborate schemes of phase stabilization with dedicated auxiliary lasers, multiplexers and photodetectors. This is particularly demanding in quantum networks operating …

Photonic implementation of artificial synapses in ultrafast laser inscribed waveguides in chalcogenide glass

2021 · Applied Physics Letters

Simple and direct prototyping methods are ideal for large-scale delivery of cognitive photonic hardware. Here, we choose ultrafast laser writing as a direct fabrication technique to later demonstrate all-optical synaptic-like performance along the laser-written waveguides …

Deterministic Generation of Entanglement in Quantum Networks by Distributed Coherent Absorption

2021 · Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics

We demonstrate that coherent absorption offers a robust and efficient way to generate quantum entanglement in multi-nodal quantum networks. Proof-of principle experiment in a bi-nodal network is reported.
