Utilizing the traditionally empty 1310-nm O-band of today's fiber optic infrastructure to distribute quantum information promises to allow single-photon level quantum data to be multiplexed with the bright, classical data in the 1550-nm C-band.  In order to realize this potential, a high-quality source of O-band entangled photon pairs must be developed as well as an efficient switching technology to route these photons through the fiber network. Work on the switching technology developed in our group will be presented.

 

“Integration in Plasmonic-Photonic

                  Integrated Circuit”

Dr. Seng-Tiong Ho

 

We will describe nano-plasmonic ring lasers with various geometries at tens to hundreds of nanometer dimensions simulated using a multi-level multi-electron (MLME) FDTD method. A scheme to couple light out from these lasers into dielectric planar waveguides enabling the laser to be integrated in a plasmonic-photonic integrated circuit will be discussed.
