Co-propagation of QKD & 6 Tb/s (60x100G) DWDM channels with ~17 dBm total WDM power in single and multi-span configurations
P. Gavignet, E. Pincemin, F. Herviou +14
We report co-propagation experiments of the quantum channel (at 1310 nm) of a Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) system with Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) data channels…
Co-propagation of 6 Tb/s (60*100Gb/s) DWDM & QKD channels with ~17 dBm aggregated WDM power over 50 km standard single mode fiber
P. Gavignet, F. Mondain, E. Pincemin +5
We report the co-propagation, over 50 km of SSMF, of the quantum channel (1310 nm) of a QKD system with ~17 dBm total power of DWDM data channels (1550 nm range). A metric to evalu…
Deep Sub-Micron Stud-Via Technology for Superconductor VLSI Circuits
Sergey K. Tolpygo, V. Bolkhovsky, T. Weir +3
A fabrication process has been developed for fully planarized Nb-based superconducting inter-layer connections (vias) with minimum size down to 250 nm for superconductor very large…
The Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury
J. J. Dalcanton, B. F. Williams, D. Lang +30
The Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury (PHAT) is an on-going HST Multicycle Treasury program to image ~1/3 of M31's star forming disk in 6 filters, from the UV to the NIR. The…
Solar sail propulsion: enabling new capabilities for heliophysics
L. Johnson, R. Young, D. Alhorn +13
Solar sails can play a critical role in enabling solar and heliophysics missions. Solar sail technology within NASA is currently at 80% of TRL-6, suitable for an in-flight technolo…
The High Inclination Solar Mission
K. Kobayashi, L. Johnson, H. Thomas +14
The High Inclination Solar Mission (HISM) is a concept for an out-of-the-ecliptic mission for observing the Sun and the heliosphere. The mission profile is largely based on the Sol…
