Visibility of long-fiber Sagnac interferometers

Reem Mandil, Li Qian, Hoi‐Kwong Lo

We measure visibility in fiber Sagnac interferometers up to 200 km using CW light. Results show visibility is backscattering-limited after 60 km. We obtain 90% visibility in 200 km fiber using a burst-patterning technique.

Quantum information technology with Sagnac interferometer: interaction-free measurement, quantum key distribution and quantum secret sharing

Wellington Alves de Brito, Rubens Viana Ramos

The interferometry of single-photon pulses has been used to implement quantum technology systems, like quantum key distribution, interaction-free measurement and some other quantum communication protocols. In most of these implementations, Mach–Zehnder, Michelson and Fabry–Pérot interferometers are the most used. In this work we present optical setups for interaction-free measurement, quantum key distribution, quantum secret sharing and secure classical prisoners' dilemma game using the Sagnac interferometer. The proposed setups are described and as well the quantum protocols using them are explained.

Fiber interferometric communications using mach-zehnder interferometer topology

Jurij Tratnik, Boštjan Batagelj

A simple concept of fiber optic communication topology using Mach-Zehnder interferometer is presented. This kind of communication can be used for secure encryption-key distribution or secure point-to-point full-duplex data-transfer communication. In both interferometric-communication applications standard optical components and single-mode fibers are used. Maximum fiber length is dependent on system noise, which must not exceed the interference pattern.

We demonstrate interference of weak coherent states with a visibility of up to 91.8% in a Sagnac interferometer over 219.4 km of deployed fiber, pointing to practical deployment of multi-user twin-field quantum key distribution.
