Telecom band quantum dot technologies for long-distance quantum networks – ArXiv
Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) so far have exhibited exceptional performance as key elements, i.e., quantum light sources and spin-photon interfaces, for quantum repeaters, but only in the near-infrared (NIR) regime. This review presents the physics and the technological developments towards epitaxial QD devices emitting at the telecom O- and C-bands for quantum networks. The paper also discusses the challenges and opportunities to realise future telecom QD devices with improved performance and expanded functionalities by taking advantage of hybrid integration.
What The New Li-Fi Standard Offers The Telecoms Ecosystem
In June the IEEE ratified the 802.11bb standard to relatively little acclaim. However, this standard opens up some pretty exciting possibilities. This article explores some of the ramifications that come along with having a global standard.
The Role of Optical Transport Networks in 6G and Beyond: A Vision and Call to Action – JSAN
The work presented in this paper outlines the role of Optical Transport Networks (OTNs) in future networking generations. Furthermore, key emerging OTN technologies are discussed. Additionally, the role intelligence will play in the Management and Orchestration (MANO) of next-generation OTNs is discussed. Moreover, a set of challenges and opportunities for innovation to guide the development of future OTNs is considered.
Guest Post: Rival or Partner? – The Rise of Free Space Laser Communications
In December 2022, NASA's TBIRD mission accomplished a truly remarkable feat by demonstrating a 100 Gbps data link from a satellite the size of a CubeSat using line of sight laser comms. If replicable reliably, the business implications for the telecoms industry could be significant.
