We present a proof-of-principle experimental demonstration of a reconfigurable
entanglement distribution scheme utilizing a poled fiber-based source of broadband …

We present observations of quasi-phase matched parametric fluorescence in a periodically
poled twin-hole silica fiber. The phase matching condition in the fiber enables the …

Measuring the dispersion of photonic devices with small dispersion-length products is
challenging due to the phase-sensitive and alignment-intensive nature of conventional …

Efficient thermal poling of electronically conducting glass is prevented by the inherent
difficulty to record a large electrostatic field within such glasses. To overcome this limitation …

We experimentally demonstrate a simple method to measure the biphoton joint spectrum by
mapping the spectral information onto the temporal domain using a dispersive medium …

We show theoretically and experimentally that twisting a birefringent periodically poled fiber
with an artificially induced χ^(2) results in second-harmonic phase-matchings that are not …

Devices in periodically poled glass must have a large periodic variation of the built-in field.
We show that the periodic variation can be severely degraded by charge dynamics taking …

The topic of this thesis is the development of devices for telecom applications based on
poled optical fibers. The focus is on a specific function, optical switching/modulation. Some …

Entanglement is a property of quantum mechanics that confounds both physicists and
laymen alike, but has found practical applications in secure communications and metrology …

Periodic UV exposure of thermally poled optical fibers is usually used to produce efficient all-
fiber frequency doublers based on second-order nonlinearity. To date, no data regarding UV …
