Single-photon detection and the future of quantum networks and computing
19 Jun 2024, 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
In this webinar we will focus on new products and applications of SNSPDs as well as fresh highlights from the lab. We introduce our new complete and compact rack mounted system, Eos R12, providing a standardized system for easy deployment in labs and data centers. We will show our new SNSPD readout electronics, scalable and future proof, to allow controlling hundreds of detectors. Our SNSPDs are famous for their exclusive time resolution, and while usually it is characterized by low photon fluxes, we demonstrate a constant fraction discriminator add-on to significantly improve the timing jitter. SNSPDs are a mature technology that can even be used in the most demanding applications such as deep-space optical communication and bio-imaging. In particular, we will showcase our optical SNSPD array receiver, developed with ESA to support NASA’s Psyche mission as well as the techniques used to image deep into tissue and beyond what is currently possible. From the lab, we are going to highlight latest development efforts on MIR SNSPDs and novel applications in protein detection for mass spectroscopy as well as a quantum spectrometer that allows the measurement of spectra, photon statistics, cross-correlations and lifetimes in one measurement.

Future Skies: Optical Wireless Backhaul Networks with Multiple Airborne Layers
21 Feb 2024, 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM
The deployment of non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) is expected to establish comprehensive global coverage for the upcoming generations of wireless technology. Addressing the substantial portion of the global population that remains unconnected or under-connected, leveraging NTNs becomes imperative to bridge the existing digital divide. NTNs encompass a range of technologies such as High-Altitude Platform Stations (HAPSs), Satellites (GEO, MEO, LEO), and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Advances in autonomous avionics and lightweight composite materials position HAPSs as viable NTN nodes for future networks, alongside rotary-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). In the realm of advanced wireless technologies like 6G and beyond, the objective is to seamlessly integrate NTN nodes with terrestrial networks. Currently, there are isolated deployment examples, including Google Loon, Nokia F-Cell, AT&T Tethered Flying Cell on Wing (COW), LEO mega-constellations, and Turkcell-Dronecell. This presentation focuses on the design of a multi-layer airborne backhaul network, utilizing HAPSs and rotary-wing UAVs to establish free space optical (FSO) backhaul connections with ground-based stations. HAPS fleets operate in circular tracks at stratospheric altitudes. On the other hand, rotary-wing UAVs operate at medium and lower altitudes, complementing HAPSs. The airborne backhaul architecture requires careful design to ensure uninterrupted connectivity with ground-based stations, eliminating coverage gaps. The presentation outlines a systematic approach for designing FSO-based airborne backhaul systems, detailing the process of determining the appropriate number of layers, HAPS tracks, HAPS units per track, the number of UAVs at lower altitudes, the operating altitude for middle-layer UAVs, and the number of laser sources per airborne node based on a given coverage area.
