Modal response sensitivity to polarization across photonic lantern architectures
Rodrigo Itzamná Becerra-Deana, Joseph Lamarre, Raphaël Maltais-Tariant +4
This paper examines the polarization-dependent output of various types of 3-mode photonic lanterns fabricated using double-clad fibers. We explore the sensitivity of the modal resp…
Simultaneous plane illumination and detection in confocal microscopy using a mode-selective photonic lantern
Rodrigo Itzamná Becerra-Deana, Simon Desrochers, Raphaël Maltais-Tariant +5
Confocal microscopy is the cornerstone of cellular biology and biomedical research due to its non-destructive imaging, compatibility with live cells, sensitivity, optical sectionin…
A photon density wavefunction
Stéphane Virally
Maxwell's equations in the vacuum can be formally cast in the form of Schrödinger's equation. Unfortunately, the vector to which this equation directly applies is not a wavefunctio…
Three-Mode Photonic Lanterns: Comprehensive Analysis from Theory to Experiments
Rodrigo Itzamná Becerra-Deana, Raphael Maltais-Tariant, Guillaume Ramadier +4
The design space for photonic lanterns is large and complex, making it challenging to identify optimal parameters to achieve specific performances, such as coupling, bandwidth, and…
Mode-Selective Photonic Lanterns with Double-Clad Fibers
Rodrigo Itzamná Becerra-Deana, Martin Poinsinet de Sivry-Houle, Stéphane Virally +2
We present the design, fabrication, and characterization of mode-selective photonic lanterns using double-clad fibers. Here, we exploited several custom-pulled double-clad fibers t…
Simple and Rigorous Proof Method for the Security of Practical Quantum Key Distribution in the Single-Qubit Regime Using Mismatched Basis Measurements
Michel Boyer, Gilles Brassard, Nicolas Godbout +2
Quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols aim at allowing two parties to generate a secret shared key. While many QKD protocols have been proven unconditionally secure in theory, pr…
Large nonlinear Kerr effect in graphene
Han Zhang, Stephane Virally, Qiaoliang Bao +4
Under strong laser illumination, few-layer graphene exhibits both a transmittance increase due to saturable absorption and a nonlinear phase shift. Here, we unambiguously distingui…
Limits of heralded single photon sources based on parametric photon pair generation
Stéphane Virally, Suzanne Lacroix, Nicolas Godbout
We derive calculations on the statistics of a heralded single photon source based on parametric photon pair generation. These calculations highlight fundamental and practical limit…
A microstructured fiber source of photon pairs at widely separated wavelengths
Joshua A. Slater, Jean-Simon Corbeil, Stephane Virally +6
We demonstrate a source of photon pairs with widely separated wavelengths, 810 nm and 1548 nm, generated through spontaneous four-wave mixing in a microstructured fiber. The second…
