Quantum and Classical Signals Mode Division Multiplexing in a 8 km Few-Mode Fiber
We experimentally demonstrate the mode-division multiplexing of quantum and classical signals at telecom wavelengths, using a 8 km long few-mode graded-index fiber and multiplane-light-conversion based modal multiplexers and demultiplexers. We observe the signature of random-mode coupling at quantum level, producing limited cross-talk among degenerate and non-degenerate channels.
