Characterising Interleaver Length in a Turbulent Deployed Terrestrial Free-Space Optical Link
Kadir Gümüş, Vincent van Vliet, Menno van den Hout +3
We investigate the correlation between interleaver length and turbulence for a deployed terrestrial free-space optical link spanning 4.6 km. Using 24 hours of measurements, we show…
Reducing Turbulence-Induced Outages in a Deployed Terrestrial Free-Space Optical Communication Link via Interleaving
Kadir GümüÅ, Vincent van Vliet, Menno van den Hout +3
We present an experimental study of data interleaving for terrestrial free-space optical communication over a 4.6~km urban testbed. Results demonstrate a two-order-of-magnitude red…
Dispersive Hong-Ou-Mandel Interference with Finite Coincidence Windows
T. J. Walstra, A. J. Hasenack, D. J. de Ruiter +3
Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) interference is a fundamental tool for assessing photon indistinguishability in quantum information processing. While the effect of chromatic dispersion on HOM…
Multi-Modal Fiber Sensing for OffshoreEnvironmental and Infrastructure Monitoring
Konstantinos Alexoudis, Florian Azendorf, Alvaro Doval +5
Monitoring a 118 km subsea cable using Distributed acoustic, state-of-polarization, and Brillouin sensing captured storm-induced strain up to (dynamic) and $\a…
Information Reconciliation for Continuous-Variable Quantum Key Distribution with Using Short Blocklength Error Correction Codes: Proposal and Concerns
Kadir GümüÅ, João dos Reis Frazão, Aaron Albores-Mejia +5
In this paper, we introduce a reconciliation protocol with a two-step error correction scheme that uses a short-blocklength, low-rate code and a long-blocklength, high-rate code. W…
Precise Localization of High-Voltage Breakdown Events using -Optical Time-Domain Reflectometry on an Optical Ground Wire
Konstantinos Alexoudis, Luke Silvestre, Tom Huiskamp +6
We present -OTDR for detecting and localising full spark-gap breakdowns by analysing backscattered light phase and frequency-domain signatures during high-voltage discharges sy…
