In the receiving trap of free space quantum communication system, the information of single photon need be extracted from the airspace background noise usually.Compare with the single photon of the information of carrying, the bias light of airspace (sunlight, moonlight or starlight) has high relatively light intensity and characteristic broad spectrum.Usually, these backgrounds form optical noise can produce big error code in transmitting information process, therefore, limited the distance of free space quantum communications and the transfer rate of quantum key to a great extent.At document " research of Rb faraday anomalous dispersion wave filter under the single photon detection condition " [Li Ruohong, Sun Xianping, Luo Jun, once tin it, Zhan Mingsheng, Chinese laser, 31,967 (2004)] point out " that if use the interference filter of nm magnitude, the photon signal that carries information can be submerged in the daylight ground unrest fully.
Based on the atomic light filter of atom vapor faraday anomalous dispersion effect, characteristics such as have high permeability, super narrow bandwidth of operation (GHz magnitude), high rejection ratio, frequencies of transmission is adjustable within the specific limits, wide-angle receives, response speed is fast.Therefore, it can be at the narrow band signal a little less than the gating under the stronger wide background noise.As a kind of filter efficiently, atomic light filter has very widely to be used.For example, the remote sensing survey of ocean temperature, daytime middle layer atmospheric temperature characteristic laser radar survey, classical communication field such as laser communication in the atmosphere.
For the free space quantum communications, document " Free-space quantum key distributionwith Rb vapor filters " [Xin Shan, Xianping Sun, Jun Luo, Zheng Tanand Mingsheng Zhan., Applied Physics Letter, 89,191121 (2006)] experiment in has shown the bias light (light that uses existing Rb atom filter method can suppress airspace, starlight, sunlight when moonlight and dusk), use single-photon detector that the polarization encoder single photon signal of gating is measured then, successfully demonstrated the free space quantum cryptography communication.However, the document also shows under some maximum conditions of quantum communications, for example, background condition in direct sunlight, when optics receiving telescope field angle greater than 150 μ rad and do not use the micropore spatial filtering and during the time filtering method, the background noise that the receiving trap of the quantum communications experimental demonstration system of the existing atomic light filter of use detects still may make the bit error rate increase, and therefore, may have influence on the acquisition and the round-the-clock use of safe key.
Summary of the invention:
The objective of the invention is to be to provide a kind of atom filtering method of Raman light amplification, that is: Raman light amplification and atom chromatic dispersion filtering are combined.In the receiving trap of communication system, utilize a branch of coupled laser and atom vapor to interact, in the future the feeble signal light of self-emission device carries out Raman and amplifies, and utilizes the atom vapor dispersion characteristics optionally to suppress background noise and allow feeble signal light is harmless to be passed through.It is wide to press narrow filtering to see through crest line when amplifying feeble signal light, and keeps high rejection ratio.
Another object of the present invention is to be to provide a kind of device of realizing the atom filtering method that Raman light is amplified, this device mainly is made up of two parts, (A) by a continuous wave semiconductor laser emission coupled laser and an atom steam bubble feeble signal light is carried out Raman and amplifies; (B) use the atom steam bubble of two Glan thomson prisms and an externally-applied magnetic field, the flashlight after nondestructively gating amplifies also suppresses the light beyond its wavelength as background noise.Apparatus of the present invention obtain final filtering and see through the peak relative intensity and can surpass original signal light more than ten times, and the maximum halfwidth of live width press narrow to the MHz magnitude, have simultaneously adjustable, the high filtering transmitance of filtering operation wavelength and~10 5Rejection ratio.
To achieve these goals, the present invention has adopted following technical measures:
The invention provides the atom filtering method and the device of a kind of Raman (Raman) light amplification, utilize this method and apparatus, can reduce the bit error rate that causes by background noise in the communication process, solve the problem that safe key obtains that influences above-mentioned.Than existing atom filtering method, the present invention has more superior filtering characteristic, not only can be used for classical laser communication, in the fields such as laser radar, also has the uniqueness that can directly use in the free space quantum communication system.Compare with existing atomic light filter, device based on the inventive method can increase the relative intensity of feeble signal light effectively and press narrow filtering bandwidth of operation, can further reduce the influence of strong, wide spectrum bias light (starlight, moonlight or sunlight) to the feeble signal photodetection, therefore, improved the receiving efficiency of quantum communication system, increase the transfer rate of safe key, increased the communications distance simultaneously, and made all weather operations become possibility.
In classical laser communication system, Raman's process is used in the optical fiber Raman amplifier more, utilizes Transmission Fibers itself as gain media, and by the amplification of coupled laser realization to arbitrary wavelength signals light in the optical fiber window.Therefore, can improve power system capacity, expand frequency efficiency and improve system transmissions speed, increase unrepeatered transmission distance, the loss of compensation of dispersion compensated optical fiber.Different therewith is that the atom filtering method that Raman light proposed by the invention is amplified is that set has utilized the atom vapor Raman light to amplify and two characteristics of chromatic dispersion filtering.Use a branch of coupled laser to affact alkali metal atom and (the present invention relates to K, Rb, Cs) on the steam, population changes on two ground state levels of atom, thereby, atom changes at the polarizability at weak signal light frequency place, and causes the variations in refractive index of weak signal light, obtains the very big enhancing of weak signal light relative intensity at last.The present invention suppresses high, wide spectrum bias light (starlight, moonlight or sunlight) when increasing feeble signal light relative intensity, pressing narrow filtering live width.
The atom filtering method that the Raman light of two characteristics that the present invention has adopted set atom vapor Raman to amplify and chromatic dispersion filters is amplified the steps include:
(a) atom steam bubble carries out Raman's amplification to feeble signal light, affact in the steam bubble on the atom by a branch of coupled laser, make the interior atomic energy level particle population of steam bubble change (being commonly referred to atomic polarization), preestablish working temperature and carry out temperature control.
(b) when other a branch of feeble signal light passed through the steam bubble of this atomic polarization, its refractive index changed.
(c) if coupled laser and weak signal light frequency satisfy atom virtual level two-photon resonance condition, feeble signal light can be exaggerated (that is: being commonly referred to Raman amplifies).
(d) subsequently, the flashlight that is exaggerated is by being added with atom steam bubble and two chromatic dispersion filters that Glan thomson prism is formed in magnetic field outward by another, because the characteristic of atom chromatic dispersion, strong, wide spectrum bias light are suppressed, and keep the relative intensity of amplified signal light constant substantially.

(D) under the effect of coupled laser, the polarizability of atom can change in the sample bubble, thereby causes the variations in refractive index of weak signal light.
(E) when the frequency of coupled laser and intensity satisfy Raman and amplifies condition, can the weak signal light by atom vapor be amplified.The maximum halfwidth of flashlight live width after the amplification reaches secondary Doppler (sub-Doppler) broadening (MHz magnitude) that approaches atomic spectral line, and its relative intensity can surpass more than ten times of original weak signal light.
(F) flashlight after amplifying from the Raman of first atom steam bubble outgoing, (be added with magnetic field outside the bubble through one by two Glan thomson prisms and second atom steam bubble again, atomicity density is regulated by second temperature control modules) the atom chromatic dispersion filter formed, bias light strong, broad spectrum is suppressed, and final optical filtering signals has kept the relative intensity of amplifying signal light constant substantially simultaneously.The center of each device all should keep the light path coaxial with incoming signal light, and simultaneously, the optical axis direction of these two Glan thomson prisms is vertical mutually.Flashlight after the optical filtering is received by photon counter or photo-detector.

(3) because the Raman light amplification is relevant with the transition spectral line of atom, maximum half width of the flashlight bandwidth after the amplification and the final filtering that obtains see through the live width at peak near atomic transition spectral line secondary Doppler line broadening (typically being the MHz magnitude).Than narrow approximately 1 magnitude of bandwidth of operation of existing atomic light filter GHz magnitude, than narrow approximately 4 orders of magnitude of bandwidth of operation of commonly used~nm interference filter.
(4) if suitably regulate the frequency of coupled laser, the amplifying signal light frequency also can change thereupon, thereby realizes the final accurate adjustable purpose of filtering signal light frequency of amplifying, and tuning range is the GHz magnitude.
