Microwaves exhibit superior performance in free-space transmission compared to optical waves, primarily due to their ability to penetrate fog and experience lower losses in the Earth's atmosphere. Based on microwave-optical entanglement prepared by nano-cavity electro-opto-mechanic converters, we propose a scheme of a quantum positioning system using the distance-based positioning method. Principles of microwave-optical entanglement preparation and our QPS scheme are introduced in detail.

Various receiver architectures have been designed to improve the demodulation performance, ultimately limited by quantum theory. In this work, I introduce a new receiver based on a locally optimal greedy algorithm and apply it to pulse position modulation.

The experiment demonstrated a QKD transmission over a 1:16 user Gigabit Optical Passive Network (GPON) configuration featuring a total of 9 Optical Network Terminals (ONTs) at the premises of the Telecom Operator COSMOTE that followed the operator's standard FTTH divided in two splitting stages. The architecture we implemented was a downstream access network with the quantum transmitter located at the operator's Central Office (CO) and the quantum receiver located on the end user's side.

Here, we investigate bias-controlled modulation by monolithically integrating an optical transmitter, waveguide, electro-absorption modulator (EAM), and slot grating coupler on a silicon-based III-nitride platform using compatible fabrication processes. The modulated light is coupled into a fiber, which is direct to a photodiode for characterization.

The large mid-infrared (MIR) spectral region, ranging from 2.5 µm to 25 µm, has remained under-exploited in the electromagnetic spectrum, primarily due to the absence of viable transceiver technologies. Notably, the 8-14 µm long-wave infrared (LWIR) atmospheric transmission window is particularly suitable for free-space optical (FSO) communication, owing to its combination of low atmospheric propagation loss and relatively high resilience to turbulence and other atmospheric disturbances.
