Scientists at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) have developed a new technique to test and measure the performance of next-generation optical fibre interconnects for quantum communication networks.
NPL’s Optical Fiber Metrology team devised an innovative new approach to measure a key parameter for optical fibre performance called Mode Field Diameter (MFD) on commercial quantum-grade connectors intended for use in a quantum internet. The new measurement technique incorporates traceable verification into high performance quantum-grade interconnects, to ensure the most efficient transmission possible of…
