What does it take to bring a visionary technology from a physics lab to the brink of a commercial revolution? In the case of hollow core optical fibres for optical communications, certainly a lot of resilience and commitment, an outstanding team of researchers, and great collaborators along the way. Over the last 12 years, our progress has been marked by 17 postdeadline papers at OFC and ECOC. These have been co-authored by nearly 100 researchers from the ORC in Southampton, as well as from TuE, the Tyndall National Institute, Coriant, Eblana Photonics, OFC, Phoenix Photonics, UCL, Politecnico di Torino, Links Foundation, Cisco Photonics, Lumenisity and Microsoft Azure Fiber. Here is a selection of some of these milestones. What will be next?? #innovation #hollowcorefiber #opticalcommunications #hcf

📣 Join us on Monday for a guest seminar with Dr. Nathan Youngblood, assistant professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 23 11AM to 12PM 📍 CSU Lory Student Center 376-78 Title: Photonic Architectures for In-Memory Computing Using Nonvolatile Optical Materials. Abstract: Photonics information processing strategies offer the unique ability to perform analog computation with ultra-low latency and high efficiency. However, designing compact and reconfigurable photonic architectures which scale well is a challenge. The combination of bistable optical materials (such as phase-change materials like Ge2Sb2Te5) and integrated photonics is a promising approach which enables nonvolatile optical memory on-chip with low drift, compact footprint, and high-speed readout. This talk will focus on developing robust and scalable photonic memories—together with wavelength division multiplexing and “in-memory” computing techniques—to enable high-speed matrix-vector operations for machine learning applications. #seminars #photonics #computing #opticalmaterials

We want to thank the University of Maryland for choosing our product for their work in Quantum Frequency Conversion. Their dedication and passion for pushing the boundaries of knowledge are truly inspiring, and we are honored to be a part of their journey. --- “Many quantum computing and networking architectures employ photonic qubits with information encoded in polarization. Quantum Frequency Conversion (QFC) is essential in such systems as a means of achieving spectral homogeneity among different artificial atoms and/or enabling transmission of spin entangled single photons (SESP) across long distances in optical fiber. Periodically-poled lithium niobate (PPLN) provides a platform for the QFC due to its relatively strong d3 nonlinear coefficient, but state of the art waveguides in PPLN still have considerably large mode volumes compared to SOI or thin-film devices. As a result, they require high pump powers to work in the non-depletive pump regime, and strong amplification of the pump is essential. In our recent work, we generate and collect SESP at 493nm (~607THz) from Ba-138 trapped ions and use two QFC stages to modulate the signal to ~1300nm, allowing for ultra-low loss transmission in fiber between different nodes of our quantum network. In each stage, we employ a Sagnac architecture with polarization rotation in the loop to achieve phase stable, polarization diverse QFC. The first of these brings the SESP to an intermediate wavelength 780nm -- chosen for its ability to drive Rb cold atoms -- with a 1343nm pump, amplified by an MPB-RFA to ~1W output power capable of pumping both arms of the Sagnac loop (https://lnkd.in/eXHtnpST). Some of our current work aims to improve the system and create duplicates in other labs at UMD to allow for quantum networking experiments and proofs of concept.” - Bradley Kerkhof, Graduate Research Assistant pursuing his PhD in UMD’s Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the Institute for Research in Electronics and Applied Physics. #MPBC #Quantum #HappyCustomer #Innovation #AcademicPartnerships #Quantum #QuantumResearch #UniversityOfMaryland #Research #Testimonial #RFASeries #RamanFiberAmplifier

See how PI supports the future of Quantum Photonics. Quantum photonics is being implemented in industries from communications to computing. At PI, we provide a wide range of solutions to support this rapidly-evolving field. Whether you’re working on quantum computing, sensing, or communications, our high-precision motion control and nanopositioning systems are designed to meet the most demanding requirements of quantum photonics applications. Read more here: https://ow.ly/qnjk50TA2Hf The emission of photons from atomic-scale defects in diamond crystals, such as nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers, is critical for quantum research. These defects can generate streams of completely random photons, making them ideal for quantum applications. Researchers at Purdue University and the University of Illinois are using PI’s P-561 Nanopositioning stages and E-712 controllers to localize and characterize single-photon emission from NV centers. This workstation, integrated with PI's advanced control algorithms, allows precise scanning, localization, and analysis of emitters at the atomic scale. Fully scriptable and automated, this technology has led to the development of the brightest single-photon sources. #QuantumPhotonics #Nanopositioning #QuantumResearch #Photonics #Innovation #PI
