The combination of semiconductor quantum dots with photonic cavities is a promising way to realize nonclassical light sources with state-of-the-art performances regarding brightness, indistinguishability, and repetition rate. Here we demonstrate the coupling of InGaAs/GaAs QDs emitting in the telecom O-band to a circular Bragg grating cavity. We demonstrate a broadband geometric extraction efficiency enhancement by investigating two emission lines under above-band excitation, inside and detuned from the cavity mode, respectively. In the first case, a Purcell enhancement of 4 is attained. For the latter case, an end-to-end brightness of 1.4% with a brightness at the first lens of 23% is achieved. Using p-shell pumping, a combination of high count rate with pure single-photon emission (g(0) = 0.01 in saturation) is achieved. Finally, a good single-photon purity (g(0) = 0.13) together with a high detector count rate of 191 kcps is demonstrated for a temperature of up to 77 K.

We have successfully demonstrated the integration of a commercial O-band Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) system over a testbed that replicates a carrier-grade Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) optical access network consisting of components and systems installed in real-life FTTH operational deployments. 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.

In this paper, we investigate the impact of classical optical communications in quantum key distribution (QKD) over hollow-core fiber (HCF), multi-core fiber (MCF) and single-core fiber (SCF) and propose wavelength allocation schemes to enhance QKD performance. Firstly, we theoretically analyze noise interference in QKD over HCF, MCF and SCF, such as spontaneous Raman scattering (SpRS) and four-wave mixing (FWM). To mitigate these noise types and optimize QKD performance, we propose a joint noise suppression wavelength allocation (JSWA) scheme.

The sharp edge of a Fano resonance in a Silicon Nitride (SiN) platform can boost photonic sensing applications based on MRRs. In this work, we demonstrate enhanced Fano resonance features for a SiN Micro Ring Resonator assisted by a Photonic Crystal Nanobeam (PhCN-MRR) operating in the TM-like mode at the O-band wavelengths.

While fiber-optic networks are generally polarization insensitive, the large aspect ratio of high-index-contrast PIC waveguides leads to a large polarization-dependent response of integrated components such as waveguides, optical cavities, couplers, etc. Although foundry-processed polarization rotators operating at telecom and datacom wavelengths (C- and O-band) have been demonstrated, to date, there have been few reports of devices operating at shorter wavelengths.

InAsP quantum dots (QDs) in InP nanowires (NWs) have been realized as a platform for emission at telecom wavelengths. These QDs are typically grown in NWs with the wurtzite crystal phase, but in this case, ultrathin diameters are required to achieve defect-free heterostructures, making the structures less robust. In this work, we demonstrate the growth of pure zincblende InAsP QDs in InP NWs, which enabled an increase in NW diameters to about 45 nm, achieved by employing Au-assisted vapor liquid solid growth in a chemical beam epitaxy system.
