Random numbers are a fundamental resource in science and engineering with important
applications in simulation and cryptography. The inherent randomness at the core of …

We demonstrate a sub-centimeter spatial resolution fiber-based distributed temperature
sensor with enhanced measurement accuracy and reduced acquisition time. Our approach …

We investigate the generation of random numbers via the quantum process of spontaneous
Raman scattering. Spontaneous Raman photons are produced by illuminating a highly …

We generate a quantum random bit-string at 650kb/s by frequency binning spontaneous
Raman scattered photons from a highly-nonlinear As 2 S 3 glass detected using …

Raman scattering can be exploited for amplification in optical fiber telecommunications or,
chemical identification in spectroscopy, but represents a source of detrimental noise photons …
