As quantum key distribution has reached the maturity level for practical deployment, questions about the co-integration with existing classical communication systems are of utmost importance. To th…
The feasibility of coexisting a quantum channel with carrier-grade classical optical channels over Hollow Core Nested Antiresonant Nodeless Fibre (HC-NANF) is experimentally explored for the first …
We present a study into the gas pressure and composition within a hollow core optical fiber immediately after fabrication. Results from three different experimental techniques indicate that the ini…
Hollow-core fibers offer a range of beneficial properties for high-speed optical communication applications, including low latency, low chromatic dispersion and nonlinearity. Based on a system empl…
One of the key functionalities in microwave photonics is to be able to define controllable time delays during the signal processing. Optical fibers are often used to achieve this functionality, esp…
Conveyance of light in air endows hollow-core optical fibers with remarkably low sensitivity of the propagation delay to temperature changes. This sensitivity was demonstrated to be further reduced…
We report on two recirculating loop transmission experiments over a hollow-core fiber of the Nested-Antiresonant Nodeless type (NANF). We transmitted 61 channels in C-band at 32 GBaud, with either …
The thermal phase sensitivity of an optical fiber quantifies the degree to which a change in ambient temperature modifies the accumulated phase of light propagating through it. This sensitivity is …
We made and characterized two Fabry-Perot interferometer samples made of the latest-generation hollow core fiber with sub-1-dB/km loss. Thanks to this low transmission loss, we achieved a finesse o…
