Polarization modulation techniques for intensity modulated links

Meredith N. Hutchinson, Vincent J. Urick, Nicholas J. Frigo

Abstract

The use of a polarization modulator for intensity modulation is detailed. Issues encountered are discussed such as the state of polarization drift over time for various fiber lengths and the nonlinear effects of polarization dependent loss on link fidelity.

Impact of polarization dependent loss on the propagation of entangled photons over fiber optic links

Brian T. Kirby, Michael Brodsky

Quantum network functionalities rely on the distribution of entangled photons to remote nodes interconnected by optical fibers. Polarization dependent loss (PDL) could potentially impair transmissions of entangled photon pairs. We propose a compact model that accounts for the deleterious effect of PDL of any orientation.

Go and return propagation of biphotons in fiber and polarization entanglement

Propagation of entangled photons in optical fiber is one of the fundamental issues for realizing quantum communication protocols. When entanglement in polarization is considered, arises the problem of compensating for the fiber effect on photons polarization. In this paper we demonstrate an effective solution where a Faraday mirror allows to cancel undesired effects of polarization drift in fiber. This technique is applied to a protocol for generating Bell states by a narrow temporal selection of the second-order intensity correlation function.
