Hollow-core fibers for Optical Communication QUantum Sources
The goal of the project is the development of a platform for generation of photon pairs in gases using hollow-core inhibited-coupling microstructured optical fibers, by applying innovative hollow-core fiber modelling and experimental techniques. Quantum communication technologies are reaching maturity, going from lab to applications in a few years; an optical source is needed to emit photon pairs bound by quantum entanglement, permitting them to share their quantum state across time and distance, rising as a highly researched field, where novel solutions are highly sought for viability at industrial performance and reliability ratings. Available generators are mainly based on solid nonlinear media such as bulk crystals on solid-core silica fibers, each having distinct issues.
