We will be performing a live demonstration on the OFC show room floor (as part of OFCnet: https://www.ofcconference.org/en-us/home/exhibition-and-show-floor-programs/ofcnet/ ) from March 7-9. This demonstration will show quantum entangled light distributed over fiber, including with co-exiting classical data. We will also be describing our laboratory-based emulation of this demonstration in an OFC “DemoZone” presentation entitled “Distribution of quantum entanglement through fiber with co-propagating classical data” to be given on Monday March 6 from 2-4:15pm. A video describing the laboratory demonstration will be available for remote audiences.

NuCrypt CEO Gregory Kanter will be participating in a panel discussion at the OFCnet Quantum Network called “Coexistence Transporting Entanglement Panel” which is scheduled for Wednesday, 8 March, 11:00 - 11:30 PST. Other panel participants include representatives from Qubitekk and Qunnect. Dr. Kanter has three technical papers also being presented at the conference, including NuCrypt’s work “Entanglement Measurement Using Pump-Phase Control on an Up-Conversion Detector,” to be presented March 8 at session W3C from 2:30-2:45 pm. We look forward to this exciting conference with strong representation from the entire quantum optics field.

For more information about Nucypt, please watch our presentation (on Youtube) at the Quantum Marketplace's Quantum Networking webinar, initiated by the Quantum Economic Development Consortium (QED-C). In the video we discuss the type of quantum instruments that we sell and some of the best features our products offer. Find out why our instruments are easy to operate and what makes them unique in the quantum technology industry.

Generating and synchronizing repetitive short pulses can be an invaluable laboratory tool, in part due to their wide spectral bandwidth (the spectral bandwidth is inversely proportional to the temporal pulse duration) and well defined temporal edges. For instance, short pulses are commonly used to measure impedance mismatches (time domain reflectometry), cable delay, or the bandwidth of a component (the pulse serves as a delta function excitation).

A previous article on our blog noted how short electrical pulses are useful laboratory tools; however, pulses are also very important in many optical applications. One method to generate short pulses is to employ a mode-locked laser. These lasers usually have very wide optical bandwidths (< 1 ps pulse widths), but typically the repetition rate is fixed and the wavelength is seldom tunable.
