Space division multiplexing using multi-core fiber (MCF) is a promising solution to cope with the capacity crunch in standard single-mode fiber based optical communication systems. Nevertheless, the achievable capacity of MCF is limited by inter-core
crosstalk (IC-XT). Many existing researches treat IC-XT as a static interference, however, recent research shows that IC-XT varies with time, wavelength and baud rate. This inherent stochastic feature requires a comprehensive characterization of the behaviour of MCF to its application in practical transmission systems and the theoretical understanding of IC-XT phenomenon. In this paper, we experimentally investigate the IC-XT behaviour of an 8-core trench-assisted MCF in a temperature-controlled environment, using popular modulation formats. We compare the measured results with the theoretical prediction to validate the analytical IC-XT models previously developed. Moreover, we explore the effects of the measurement configurations on the IC-XT accuracy and present an analysis on the IC-XT step distribution. Our results indicate that a number of transmission parameters have significant influence on the strength and volatility of IC-XT. Moreover, the averaging time of the power meter and the observation time window can affect the value of the observed IC-XT, the degrees of the effects vary with the type of the source signals.
We experimentally demonstrate the impact of inter-core crosstalk in multicore fibers on 56Gbaud PAM-4 signal quality after 2.5-km transmission over a weakly-coupled and uncoupled sevencore fibers, revealing the crosstalk dependence on carrier central wavelength in range of 1540-1560 nm.
The capacity of optical communication channels can be increased by space division multiplexing in structured optical fibers. Radial core optical fibers allows for the propagation of twisted light--eigenmodes of orbital angular momentum, which have at
tracted considerable attention for high-dimensional quantum information. Here we study the generation of entangled photons that are tailor-made for coupling into ring core optical fibers. We show that the coupling of photon pairs produced by parametric down-conversion can be increased by close to a factor of three by pumping the non-linear crystal with a perfect vortex mode with orbital angular momentum $ell$, rather than a gaussian mode. Moreover, the two-photon orbital angular momentum spectrum has a nearly constant shape. This provides an interesting scenario for quantum state engineering, as pumping the crystal with a superposition of perfect vortex modes can be used in conjunction with the mode filtering properties of the ring core fiber to produce simple and interesting quantum states.
Quantum communication has been successfully implemented in optical fibres and through free-space [1-3]. Fibre systems, though capable of fast key rates and low quantum bit error rates (QBERs), are impractical in communicating with destinations withou
t an established fibre link [4]. Free-space quantum channels can overcome such limitations and reach long distances with the advent of satellite-to-ground links [5-8]. Shorter line-of-sight free-space links have also been realized for intra-city conditions [2, 9]. However, turbulence, resulting from local fluctuations in refractive index, becomes a major challenge by adding errors and losses [10]. Recently, an interest in investigating the possibility of underwater quantum channels has arisen, which could provide global secure communication channels among submersibles and boats [11-13]. Here, we investigate the effect of turbulence on an underwater quantum channel using twisted photons in outdoor conditions. We study the effect of turbulence on transmitted QBERs, and compare different QKD protocols in an underwater quantum channel showing the feasibility of high-dimensional encoding schemes. Our work may open the way for secure high-dimensional quantum communication between submersibles, and provides important input for potential submersibles-to-satellite quantum communication.
Continuous-variable quantum key distribution exploits coherent measurements of the electromagnetic field, i.e., homodyne or heterodyne detection. The most advanced security analyses developed so far relied on idealised mathematical models for such me
asurements, which assume that the measurement outcomes are continuous and unbounded variables. As any physical measurement device has finite range and precision, these mathematical models only serve as an approximation. It is expected that, under suitable conditions, the predictions obtained using these simplified models are in good agreement with the actual experimental implementations. However, a quantitative analysis of the error introduced by this approximation, and of its impact on composable security, have been lacking so far. Here we present a theory to rigorously account for the experimental limitations of realistic heterodyne detection. We focus on asymptotic security against collective attacks, and indicate a route to include finite-size effects.
