Design and Construction of a Multi-Port Beamsplitter Based on Few-Mode-FibersSpegel-Lexne, Daniel January 2022 (has links)
A MBS (Multi-port beamsplitter) for higher dimensional quantum communication has been designed and constructed and the theory and method for this is presented in this thesis. It uses optical fibers in a heterogeneous structure with a single-mode fiber spliced to a multi-mode fiber and then spliced to a few-mode fiber. Three MBS:s were constructed and tested to see if superpositions between spatial modes could be generated. One with 5.65cm multi-mode fiber, one with 9cm of multi-mode fiber and one with just the single-mode fiber spliced to the few-mode fiber. The optical modes that where focused on for the superposition were the linear polarized LP01, LP11a and LP11b modes. Simulations of superpositions between these modes were performed and experiments were done to see if these simulations could be realised. The shapes of these superpositions could be seen with a camera and the stability of the different modal powers and the stability of the phases between the modes where also tested. The last experiment tested the tunability of the modes by finding their maximum and minimum output power for each individual mode. The results of these experiments show that the stability of power and relative phases are high and testing of the tunability shows that the 9cm MBS is the most tunable, the 5.65cm MBS the second best and the SMF-FMF MBS the worst. Even though the shapes of the superpositions, the stability and tunability shows very positive results, the conclusion is that more experiments are required in order to identify the superpositions and for this to be used in a quantum communication system. / En Multi-port stråldelare (MSD) för kvantkommunikation med hjälp av rumsliga optiska moder har blivit designad och konstruerad. Teorin, metoden och resultatet av detta arbete presenteras i denna uppsats. Denna konstruktion använder sig av optiska fiber i heterogena strukturer med en single-mode fiber svetsad till en multi-mode fiber som i sin tur är svetsad till en few-mode fiber. Tre stycken MSD blev konstruerade och testade för att se om superpositioner mellan rumsliga moder kunde bli genererade, en med 5.65cm multi-mode fiber, en med 9cm multi-mode fiber och en med bara en single-mode fiber svetsad till en few-mode fiber. De moder som fokuserades på för superpositionerna var de linjärpolariserade moderna LP01, LP11a och LP11b. Superpositionerna simulerades och sen genomfördes experiment för att se ifall de kunde bli genererade. Formerna av dessa superpositioner kunde hittas och synliggöras med en kamera. Stabiliteten av modernas energi och stabiliteten av faserna mellan moderna testades också. Det sista experimentet som gjordes testade justerbarheten av moderna genom att hitta den minimala samt maximala intensiteten för varje mod. Experimenten visar att intensiteterna och de relativa faserna har hög stabilitet för alla konstruerade MSD, men i justerbarhets experimentet visar det sig att 9cm MSD:en presterar bäst, 5.65cm MSD:en presterar näst bäst och SMF-FMF strukturen presterar sämst. Trots att formerna av superpositionerna kunde hittas för alla tre konstruktioner, och att testen i stabiliteten visar goda resultat så krävs mer experiment för att identifiera superpositionerna mellan moderna och ifall denna konstruktion går att implementera i ett kvantkommunikationssystem.

Characterization and Stabilization of Transverse Spatial Modes of Light in Few-Mode Optical FibersPihl, Oscar January 2023 (has links)
With the growing need for secure and high-capacity communications, innovative solutions are needed to meet the demands of tomorrow. One such innovation is to make use of the still unutilized spatial dimension of light in communications, which has promising applications in both enabling higher data traffic as well as the security protocols of the future in quantum communications. The perhaps most promising way of realizing this technology is through spatial division multiplexing (SDM) in optical fibers. There are many challenges and open questions in implementing this, such as how perturbations to the signal should be kept under control and which type of optical fiber to use. Consequently, this thesis focuses on the implementation of SDM in few-mode fibers where the perturbation effects on the spatial distribution have been investigated. Following this investigation, an implementation of adaptive spatial mode control using a motorized polarization controller has been implemented. The mode control has been done with the focus on having relevance for quantum technology applications such as Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and quantum random number generation (QRNG) but also for spatial division multiplexing (SDM) for general communications. For this reason, two evaluation metrics have been optimized for: extinction ratio and equal amplitude. The control algorithm used is an adaptation of the optimization algorithm Stochastic Parallel Gradient Descent (SPGD). Control has been achieved in stabilizing the extinction ratio of LP11a and LP11b over 12 hours with an average extinction ratio of 98 %. Additionally, equal amplitude between LP11a and LP11b has been achieved over 1 hour with an average relative difference of 0.42 % and 0.45 %. Out of the perturbation effects investigated; temperature caused large disturbances to the signal which later is corrected for with the implemented algorithm.

Space-Division-Multiplexing Platform for a Delayed-Choice ExperimentKarlsson, Hilma January 2023 (has links)
This master’s thesis explores a space-division-multiplexing (SDM) platform fora delayed-choice experiment. SDM is a multiplexing technique for optical datatransmission that employs spatial modes in a multi- or few-mode fiber to increasethe transmission capacity. The spatial modes can thus be used as separate channels. SDM have shown great potential for quantum information systems, making it intriguing to investigate its broad applications by examining its use in adelayed-choice experiment. The delayed-choice experiment was proposed by J.A.Wheeler in 1978 explored the particle- and wave-like behavior of quantum particles and observe if the particle knows in advance if it should propagate as a waveor a particle through the experimental platform. Hence, it was suggested thatthe experiment should be changed after the particle entered the experimentalplatform. The experiment has afterward been realized in many different constellations but previous wave-particle delayed-choice experiments have not beendemonstrated with SDM nor with an all in fiber platform. The research involved modeling and constructing a SDM fiber-optic platform,only utilizing commercially available fiber optical telecommunication components. The platform was constructed with photonic lanterns, used as spatial division multiplexer and demultiplexer, and a two-input fiber Sagnac Interferometer,as a removable beam splitter. The system was tested with classical light but without difficulties, the platform could move to the quantum domain for performingthe delayed-choice experiment with single photons on the platform. The thesis resulted in a SDM platform with good performance for future measurement of bothparticle- and wave-like behavior of photons in a delayed-choice experiment.
