QUANTUM AND CLASSICAL OPTICAL FREQUENCY COMBS FOR METROLOGY AND NETWORKING APPLICATIONS

Suparna Seshadri (19163878) 26 July 2024 (has links)
<p><br></p><p dir="ltr">Over the past decade, optical frequency combs have spurred significant advancements in both classical ultrafast optics and quantum optics. My research contributes to these two fields, catering to applications in precision metrology and optical networking. In the domain of quantum optics, the study delves into biphoton frequency combs with time-energy entanglement, employing novel electro-optic modulation schemes to enhance sensitivity and enable precise measurements of temporal correlations. Additionally, Bell states, a crucial class of entangled quantum bases, are generated in the frequency domain, showcasing their utility in delay metrology and quantum cryptographic protocols. </p><p dir="ltr">In the realm of classical optical frequency combs, this work explores dynamic steering of pulsed optical beams, holding promise for applications in imaging and remote sensing. The concept of time-efficient dynamic beam steering using a spatial array of optical frequency combs is elucidated and experimentally demonstrated through the utilization of a high-resolution spectral disperser, specifically a virtually imaged phased array (VIPA). Furthermore, integrated photonic designs featuring wavelength-selective switches and spectral dispersers are proposed to enable a versatile on-chip implementation of the beam steering approach. In sum, this research leverages the capabilities of classical and quantum optical frequency combs, with implications for emerging applications such as distributed sensing, quantum networking, and light detection and ranging (LIDAR).</p>
