We demonstrated non-degenerate sequential time-bin entanglement using periodically poled KTP waveguide at a repetition rate of 1 GHz. The wavelengths of signal
A compact scheme for high-speed frequency doubling and down-conversion on a single dual-element PPKTP waveguide is investigated. Optimal temperature is achieved
Physical-layer network coding (PLNC) is a novel wireless communication technology, in which multiple transmitters can send signals on the same channel to the

Abstract: We present a technique for accurate wideband measurements of one-port devices with extreme impedances. Our technique uses a reflectometer with
The equivalent source mismatch (GG) of a 1.85 mm coaxial power splitter was characterized using two statistical measurement techniques. The first technique
In this paper, the use of tunnel junctions as sensors for determining the interaction strength between highly charged ions (HCIs) and ultra-thin insulating
Recent research has shown that while many complex networks follow a power-law distribution for their vertex degrees, it is not sufficient to model these
