Autocompensating Measurement-Device-Independent quantum cryptography in few-mode optical fibers

We present an autocompensating quantum cryptography technique for Measurement-Device-Independent quantum cryptography devices with different kind of optical fiber modes. We center our study on collinear spatial modes in few-mode optical fibers by using both fiber and micro-optical components. We als...

Description
Summary:We present an autocompensating quantum cryptography technique for Measurement-Device-Independent quantum cryptography devices with different kind of optical fiber modes. We center our study on collinear spatial modes in few-mode optical fibers by using both fiber and micro-optical components. We also indicate how the obtained results can be easily extended to polarization modes in monomode optical fibers and spatial codirectional modes in multicore optical fibers.
