1xN DWDM channel selective quantum frequency conversion

Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) is a key technology for realizing high-capacity and flexible quantum communication networks. In addition, to realize the emerging quantum internet, quantum frequency conversion is also essential for bridging different quantum systems over optical fiber networks. In this work, we demonstrate a channel-selective quantum frequency conversion (CS-QFC), which allows active selection of the frequency of the converted photon from multiple DWDM channels. The 2.5 THz bandwidth of our CS-QFC system shows the ability to establish a 100-ch DWDM dynamic link from a single quantum system. It promises to increase the diversity of the quantum network.
