Towards Continuous Fiber Birefringence Compensation with Single-Photon-Level Light

Abstract

We propose a method for continuously compensating for the polarization state change of photons propagating in fibers. This technique operates at a single-photon-level intensity and therefore imposes minimal noise on the quantum channel.

Prescriptive method for fiber polarization compensation in two bases

Teodor Strömberg, Peter Schiansky, Philip John Walther

Single-mode optical fibers exhibit a small but non-negligible birefringence that induces random polarization rotations during light propagation. In classical interferometry these rotations give rise to polarization-induced fading of the interferometric visibility, and in fiber-based polarimetric sensors as well as quantum optics experiments, they scramble the information encoded in the polarization state. Correcting these undesired rotations is consequently an important part of many experiments and applications employing optical fibers. In this Lab Note we review an efficient method for fully compensating fiber polarization rotations for general input states. This method was not originally devised by us, but does, to the best of our knowledge, not appear in the literature, and our interactions with the community have indicated that it is not well known.

All-Fiber Source of Polarization-Entangled Photon Pairs Based on a Novel Birefringence Compensated Scheme

We propose a new all-fiber source of polarization-entangled photon pairs for quantum communications. Fiber birefringence is compensated using Faraday rotator mirror, resulting in enhanced stability against random polarization drifts compared to existing schemes.

Effects of polarization-dependent loss and fiber birefringence on photon-pair entanglement in fiber-optic channels

Milja Medić, Prem Kumar

Quantum communication requires that photon-pair entanglement be preserved as the photons are distributed to remote locations. We model the effects of loss and birefringence on polarization-entangled photon pairs propagating in optical fibers.
