Intermodal quantum key distribution field trial with active switching between fiber and free-space channels
Francesco Picciariello, Ilektra Karakosta-Amarantidou, Edoardo Rossi +6
Intermodal quantum key distribution enables the full interoperability of fiber networks and free-space channels, which are both necessary elements for the development of a global q…

Experimental characterization of modal noise in multimode fibers for astronomical spectrometers
E. Oliva, M. Rainer, A. Tozzi +3
Starting from our puzzling on-sky experience with the GIANO-TNG spectrometer we set up an infrared high resolution spectrometer in our laboratory and used this instrument to charac…
