The photon pair source that survived a rocket explosion
Zhongkan Tang, Rakhitha Chandrasekara, Yue Chuan Tan +3
We report on the performance of a compact photon pair source that was recovered intact from a failed space launch. The source had been embedded in a nanosatellite and was designed…
Deploying quantum light sources on nanosatellites II: lessons and perspectives on CubeSat spacecraft
Robert Bedington, Edward Truong-Cao, Tan Yue Chuan +6
To enable space-based quantum key distribution proposals the Centre for Quantum Technologies is developing a source of entangled photons ruggedized to survive deployment in space a…
Space qualified nanosatellite electronics platform for photon pair experiments
Cliff Cheng, Rakhitha Chandrasekara, Yue Chuan Tan +1
We report the design and implementation of a complete electronics platform for conducting a quantum optics experiment that will be operated on board a 1U CubeSat (a 10 x 10 x 10 cm…
Radiation tolerance of opto-electronic components proposed for space-based quantum key distribution
Tan Yue Chuan, Rakhitha Chandrasekara, Cliff Cheng +1
Plasma in low earth orbit can damage electronic components and potentially jeopardise the scientific missions in space. Predicting the accumulated damage and understanding the comp…
Silicon avalanche photodiode operation and lifetime analysis for small satellites
Yue Chuan Tan, Rakhitha Chandrasekara, Cliff Cheng +1
Silicon avalanche photodiodes (APDs) are sensitive to operating temperature fluctuations and are also susceptible to radiation flux expected in satellite-based quantum experiments.…
