Fast beam steering with full polarization control using a galvanometric optical scanner and polarization controller
M. Jofre, G. Anzolin, F. Steinlechner +4
Optical beam steering is a key element in many industrial and scientific applications like in material processing, information technologies, medical imaging and laser display. Even…
True random numbers from amplified quantum vacuum
M. Jofre, M. Curty, F. Steinlechner +4
Random numbers are essential for applications ranging from secure communications to numerical simulation and quantitative finance. Algorithms can rapidly produce pseudo-random outc…
Twisting of light around rotating black holes
Fabrizio Tamburini, Bo Thidé, Gabriel Molina-Terriza +1
Kerr black holes are among the most intriguing predictions of Einstein's general relativity theory. These rotating massive astrophysical objects drag and intermix their surrounding…
Fast optical source for quantum key distribution based on semiconductor optical amplifiers
M. Jofre, A. Gardelein, G. Anzolin +16
A novel integrated optical source capable of emitting faint pulses with different polarization states and with different intensity levels at 100 MHz has been developed. The source…
100 MHz Amplitude and Polarization Modulated Optical Source for Free-Space Quantum Key Distribution at 850 nm
M. Jofre, A. Gardelein, G. Anzolin +4
We report on an integrated photonic transmitter of up to 100 MHz repetition rate, which emits pulses centered at 850 nm with arbitrary amplitude and polarization. The source is sui…
Wavelet and R/S analysis of the X-ray flickering of cataclysmic variables
G. Anzolin, F. Tamburini, D. de Martino +1
Recently, wavelets and R/S analysis have been used as statistical tools to characterize the optical flickering of cataclysmic variables. Here we present the first comprehensive stu…
