Communicating at a record 14.5 bits per received photon through a photon-starved channel

Sai Kanth Dacha, Rene-Jean Essiambre, Alexei Ashikhimin +4

Exploration of the Universe requires communication with Earth, either on a direct path or through a cascade of proximate celestial bodies. Microwaves have traditionally been used f…

Record Photon Information Efficiency with Optical Clock Transmission and Recovery of 12.5 bits/photon over an Optical Channel with 77 dB Loss

René-Jean Essiambre, Cheng Guo, Sai Kanth Dacha +18

We experimentally demonstrate optical detection at 12.5~bits per incident photon, 9.4~dB higher than the theoretical limit of conventional coherent detection. A single laser transm…

Spatiotemporal Characterization of Nonlinear Interactions between Selectively Excited Radially Symmetric Modes of a Few-Mode Fiber

Sai Kanth Dacha, Thomas E. Murphy

Nonlinear propagation of signals in single-mode fiber is well understood, and is typically observed by measuring the temporal profile or optical spectrum of an emerging signal. In…
