All-optical turbulence mitigation for free-space quantum key distribution using stimulated parametric down-conversion
Aaron A. Aguilar-Cardoso, Cheng Li, Tobey J. B. Luck +4
In this work, we propose and demonstrate a turbulence-resilient scheme for free-space quantum communication. By leveraging the phase conjugation property of stimulated parametric d…
Can We Conjugate the Orbital Angular Momentum of a Single Photon with Nonlinear Optics? A Theoretical Analysis
Tobey Luck, Aarón Aguilar-Cardoso, Cheng Li +4
Stimulated parametric down-conversion (StimPDC) produces an idler beam that exhibits a phase conjugate of the spatial structure of the classical seed beam. Extending this effect to…
Tailoring Spatial Modes Produced by Stimulated Parametric Downconversion
A. A. Aguilar-Cardoso, C. Li, T. J. B. Luck +4
We theoretically study and experimentally demonstrate controlled generation of spatial modes of light via stimulated parametric downconversion (StimPDC) by transferring the spatial…
Fast Adaptive Optics for High-Dimensional Quantum Communications in Turbulent Channels
Lukas Scarfe, Felix Hufnagel, Manuel F. Ferrer-Garcia +3
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) promises a provably secure method to transmit information from one party to another. Free-space QKD allows for this information to be sent over great…
Secure communication using low dimensional topological elements
Manuel F. Ferrer-Garcia, Avishy Carmi, Alessio D'Errico +3
Low-dimensional topological objects, such as knots and braids, have become prevalent in multiple areas of physics, such as fluid dynamics, optics, and quantum information processin…
Topological transitions of the generalized Pancharatnam-Berry phase
Manuel F. Ferrer-Garcia, Kyrylo Snizhko, Alessio D'Errico +3
Distinct from the dynamical phase, in a cyclic evolution, a system's state may acquire an additional component, a.k.a. geometric phase. The latter is a manifestation of a closed pa…
Polychromatic Electric Field Knots
Manuel F. Ferrer-Garcia, Alessio D'Errico, Alicia Sit +2
The polarization of a monochromatic optical beam lies in a plane, and in general, is described by an ellipse, known as the polarization ellipse. The polarization ellipse in the tig…
Cylindrical vector beam generator using a two-element interferometer
Job Mendoza-Hernandez, Manuel F. Ferrer-Garcia, Jorge Arturo Rojas-Santana +1
We realize a robust and compact cylindrical vector beam generator which consists of a simple two-element interferometer composed of a beam displacer and a cube beamsplitter. The in…
Newtonian orbits of nanoparticles interacting with structured light beams
Manuel F. Ferrer-Garcia, Dorilian Lopez-Mago
We perform numerical analysis to study the orbits described by subwavelength size particles interacting with structured light beams. Our solution to the particle dynamics considers…
Generation of light beams with custom orbital angular momentum and tunable transverse intensity symmetries
Job Mendoza-Hernández, Mateusz Szatkowski, Manuel F. Ferrer-Garcia +2
We introduce a novel and simple modulation technique to tailor optical beams with a customized amount of orbital angular momentum (OAM). The technique is based on the modulation of…
