Frequency-stabilised lasers are key enablers of quantum technologies, with many cold atom applications reliant on multiple lasers. Quantum technology applications such as atomic clocks, magnetometers and gravitometers are now emerging from the laboratory and confronting the...
Optocap will be exhibiting at The National Quantum Technologies Showcase on 9th November 2018 in London. Where the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) as a part of UK Research and Innovation, a non-departmental public body funded by a grant-in-aid from...
Development & Characterization of Optical and Photonics systems (Alter Technology): Optical programmable devices based on liquid crystals Transceiver for Quantum cryptography systems Photonic payload road map evaluation Full evaluation of CMOS image sensors
A novel integrated optical source capable of emitting faint pulses with different polarization states and with different intensity levels at 100 MHz has been developed. The source relies on a single laser diode followed by four semiconductor amplifiers and thin film polarizers...
Quantum communications offers many advantages for secure data transmission, e.g. confidentiality, integrity, eavesdropper’s detectability. Information is encoded in quantum bits (qubits), intrinsic physical properties, such as polarization of a photon. Quantum physics allows...
Quantum Photonic Transceiver Space Applications Alter Technology is the prime contractor of a consortium for the development of a compact, robust and reliable solution of a QKD transceiver for space applications in the frame of the ARTES programme
