Detailed Description
In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more comprehensible, the present application is described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and the detailed description. It is to be understood that the described embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, and not restrictive of the full scope of the invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
In a first aspect of the present application, a polarization decoding apparatus based on active basis vector selection is provided, and a structure of the polarization decoding apparatus can refer to the schematic diagram shown in fig. 1, where the polarization decoding apparatus includes an active basis vector selection component 1, a decoding component 2, and a detection component 3:
the active basis vector selecting component 1 includes an input port 11, a basis vector selector 12, a first output port 13, and a second output port 14, where the basis vector selector 12 is configured to transmit an optical pulse input from the input port 11 to the first output port 13 if a first basis vector decoding is selected, and transmit an optical pulse input from the input port 11 to the second output port 14 if a second basis vector decoding is selected. Generally, according to the BB84 protocol, the transmitting end usually selects two sets of orthogonal bases for encoding, for example, the transmitting end has 4 polarization states of | H>、|V>、|+>And | ->Or | H>、|V>、|R>And | L>Or | +>、|->|R>And | L>Wherein

From this, it is known that | H is changed>And | V>The phase position can be converted into | +>、|->、|R>And | L>Otherwise change | +>、|->、|R>And | L>Is also converted into | H>And | V>. This application uses | H>、|V>、|+>And | ->For example, the principle of decoding the remaining polarization states is similar to the example, and those skilled in the art will understand without any doubt that other polarization states are decoded in the present applicationThe decoding principle in the device, and the rest polarization states in this application are not described in detail by way of example.
The transmitting end selects a set of orthogonal polarization states sent by the second basis vector coding as | H > and | V >, and at the receiving end, the system considers that the sent orthogonal polarization states are | + > and | V >, and then sends the orthogonal polarization states from the first output port 13 to the first basis vector decoding channel 21, and if the system considers that the sent orthogonal polarization states are | H > and | V >, then sends the orthogonal polarization states from the second output port 14 to the second basis vector decoding channel 22.
If the first base vector decoding channel 21 receives | +>And | ->Orthogonal polarization state, then the first basis vector decoding channel 21 will | +>And | ->Conversion of orthogonal polarization state to | H>And | V>And outputs | H separated in time>And | V>I.e. a first component and a second component separated in time, in particular at t1Time output | H>,t2Time output | V>,t3Time output | H>… by analogy, the first single-photon detector 31 is configured for detecting temporally separated | H>And | V>That is, by controlling the gate control signal of the first single-photon detector 31, the gate opening time of the first single-photon detector 31 corresponds to the time when the first component and the second component reach the first single-photon detector 31, and the detected quantum state result can be obtained.
If the second basis vector decoding channel 22 receives | H |>And | V>Orthogonal polarization states, the second basis-vector decoding channel 22 outputs | H separated in time>And | V>I.e. the third and fourth components are separated in time, in particular at t1Time output | H>,t2Time output | V>,t3Time output | H>… by analogy, the second single-photon detector 32 is used to detect | H in the time domain>And | V>That is, by controlling the gate control signal of the second single-photon detector 32, the gate opening time of the second single-photon detector 32 corresponds to the time when the third component and the fourth component reach the second single-photon detector 32, and the detected quantum state result can be obtained.
Or, if said firstReceived by base vector decoding channel 21 is | +>And | ->Orthogonal polarization state, then the first basis vector decoding channel 21 will | +>And | ->Conversion of orthogonal polarization state to | H>And | V>And outputs | H separated in the spatial domain>And | V>I.e. the first and second components are spatially separated, in particular at t1Decoding of time | H>Is transmitted to the first single-photon detector 31 through the first basis-vector decoding channel 21, at t1| V obtained by decoding time>To the second basis-vector decoding channel 22, to a second single-photon detector 32 through the second basis-vector decoding channel 22, at t2Decoding of time | H>Is transmitted to the first single-photon detector 31 through the first basis-vector decoding channel 21, at t2| V obtained by decoding time>The second basis-vector decoding channel 22, the second single-photon detector 32 … through the second basis-vector decoding channel 22, and so on, so as to obtain the detection result through the responses of the first single-photon detector 31 and the second single-photon detector 32.
If the second basis vector decoding channel 21 receives | H |>And | V>Orthogonal polarization states, the second basis vector decoding channel 22 outputs | H separated in the spatial domain>And | V>I.e. the first and second components are spatially separated, in particular at t1Decoding of time | H>Transmitted to the second single-photon detector 32 through the second basis-vector decoding channel 22, at t1| V obtained by decoding time>To said first basis-vector decoding channel 21, to a first single-photon detector 31 through said first basis-vector decoding channel 21, at t2Decoding of time | H>Transmitted to the second single-photon detector 32 through the second basis-vector decoding channel 22, at t2| V obtained by decoding time>The first basis-vector decoding channel 21, the first single-photon detector 31 … through the first basis-vector decoding channel 21, and so on, so as to obtain the detection result through the responses of the first single-photon detector 31 and the second single-photon detector 32.
Therefore, the decoding component can analyze the orthogonal polarization state into two components in a time domain or two components in a space domain, so that the detector can be configured to detect the two analyzed components in the time domain and can also be configured to detect the two analyzed components in the space domain, and therefore the four-polarization-state measurement can be completed only by two single-photon detectors, and compared with the prior art, the four-polarization-state measurement device saves two single-photon detectors, and therefore the complexity and the cost of the system are reduced. The active basis vector selection component is further arranged, active selection of basis vectors can be achieved, and attack to a non-ideal beam splitter during passive basis selection is avoided. The decoding component can adopt the polarization beam splitter to analyze the orthogonal polarization state into two components with equal energy in a time domain or two components with equal energy in a space domain, and has high channel applicability.
The structure of the basis-vector selector 12 can refer to the schematic diagrams shown in fig. 3-5, and the basis-vector selector 12 includes an optical splitting end 121, an optical splitting end 122, a first optical path 123, a second optical path 124, and a phase modulator 125; the optical path of the first optical path 123 is equal to the optical path of the second optical path 124, the phase modulator 125 is disposed on the first optical path 123 or the second optical path 124, and the optical combining end 122 has two outlets respectively connected to the first output port 13 and the second output port 14; the optical splitting end 121 is connected to the input port 11, the optical splitting end 121 is configured to split an input optical pulse into two optical pulses, one optical pulse reaches the optical combining end 122 through the first optical path 123, and the other pulse reaches the optical combining end 122 through the second optical path 124; the phase modulator 125 is configured to select a first basis vector decoding for adjusting the optical pulse phase difference in the first optical path 123 and the second optical path 124 to Δ Φ1Then, the optical combining end 122 combines the optical pulses in the first optical path 123 and the second optical path 124 and inputs the combined optical pulses into the first output port 13; the phase modulator 125 is configured to select a second basis vector decoding for adjusting the optical pulse phase difference in the first optical path 123 and the second optical path 124 to Δ Φ2Then, the light combining end 122 combines the light pulses in the first light path 123 and the second light path 124 and inputs the combined light pulses into the second output port 14.
In the structure shown in fig. 4 and 5, the light splitting end 121 and the light combining end 122 are implemented by a polarization beam splitter, when the polarization beam splitter is used as the light splitting end 121, the transmission end and the reflection end thereof are used as the incident ports of the light combining end 122, and when the polarization beam splitter is used as the light combining end 122, the transmission end and the reflection end thereof are used as the incident ports of the light splitting end 121. Since the structured light splitting end 121 and the light combining end 122 shown in fig. 4 and 5 share the same polarization beam splitter, there are two kinds of light pulses in the transmission directions at the incident end of the polarization beam splitter, so that the light in the incident direction and the light in the emitting direction can be transmitted to different light paths through the circulator, the circulator can output the light input from the i port from the ii port, and the light input from the ii port from the iii port, thereby realizing the transmission of the light in the opposite direction to the light pulse input from the input port 11 to the first output port 13.
The light intensity of the first output port 13 plus the light intensity of the second output port 14 is equal to the light intensity of the input port 11, and assuming that the light intensity of the input port 11 is 1, the following formula sin is satisfied2Φ+cos2Φ =1, so the light intensity output from the first output port 13 is sin2Φ, the light intensity output from the second output port 14 is cos2Phi is measured. If only the first output port 13 is required to output the optical pulse, the phase difference between the optical pulses in the first optical path 123 and the second optical path 124 is adjusted by the phase modulator 125 to be
Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE010
If only the second output port 14 is required to output an optical pulse, the phase difference between the optical pulses in the first optical path 123 and the second optical path 124 is adjusted to 0 by the phase modulator 125. On the contrary, if the light intensity output by the first output port 13 is cos2Φ, the light intensity output from the second output port 14 is sin2Φ, the principle is the same as above, and will not be described again.
Of course, the basis vector selector 12 may also be an optical switch, and if the system selects the first basis vector decoding, the system directly transmits the optical pulse input from the input port 11 to the first basis vector decoding channel 21 by controlling the optical switch, and if the system selects the second basis vector decoding, the system directly transmits the optical pulse input from the input port 11 to the second basis vector decoding channel 22 by controlling the optical switch.
One structure of the decoding component 2 is schematically shown in fig. 6, wherein the first basis vector decoding channel 21 includes: a polarization rotation device 211, a first polarization beam splitter 212, a second polarization beam splitter 213, a third optical path 214, and a fourth optical path 215, wherein the optical path of the third optical path 214 is not equal to the optical path of the fourth optical path 215; the polarization rotation device 211 is configured to transform two orthogonal polarization states of the optical pulses selected for the first basis vector encoding into orthogonal polarization states corresponding to two output directions of the first polarization beam splitter 212, respectively; the first polarization beam splitter 212 is configured to output one of the transformed orthogonal polarization states to the first output port 13 through the third optical path 214 and the second polarization beam splitter 213, and the first polarization beam splitter 212 is further configured to output the other of the transformed orthogonal polarization states to the first output port 13 through the fourth optical path 215 and the second polarization beam splitter 213, and since the optical path length of the third optical path 214 is not equal to the optical path length of the fourth optical path 215, the optical pulse is resolved into the first component and the second component in the time domain. For example, when the first basis vector decoding channel 21 receives | + and | minus > orthogonal polarization states, and passes through the polarization rotating device 211, the | + and | minus > orthogonal polarization states are converted into | H > and | V > orthogonal polarization states, and | H > is transmitted to the third optical path 214 by the first polarization beam splitter 212 through the transmission of the first polarization beam splitter 212, and | V > is transmitted to the fourth optical path 215 by the reflection of the first polarization beam splitter 212, and since the optical path of the third optical path 214 is not equal to that of the fourth optical path 215, | H > reaches the second polarization beam splitter 213 preferentially and | V > lags | H > to the second polarization beam splitter 213, and | H > is transmitted by the second polarization beam splitter 213 preferentially and | V > lags | H > is reflected by the second polarization beam splitter 213, the first basis vector decoding channel 21 resolves the received | + and | V > orthogonal polarization states into | H > and | V > separated in time domain | >, and >, respectively .
The second basis vector decoding path 22 comprises: a third polarization beam splitter 221, a fourth polarization beam splitter 222, a fifth optical path 223, and a sixth optical path 224, wherein the optical path length of the fifth optical path 223 is not equal to the optical path length of the sixth optical path 224; the third polarization beam splitter 221 is configured to transmit one of the orthogonal polarization states of the optical pulse selected to be encoded by the second basis vector to the second output port 14 after passing through the fifth optical path 223 and the fourth polarization beam splitter 222, and the third polarization beam splitter 221 is further configured to transmit the other one of the orthogonal polarization states of the optical pulse selected to be encoded by the second basis vector to the second output port 14 after passing through the fifth optical path 223 and the fourth polarization beam splitter 222, where the optical pulse is resolved into a third component and a fourth component in the time domain because the optical path length of the fifth optical path 223 is not equal to the optical path length of the sixth optical path 224. For example, when the second basis-vector decoding channel 22 receives | H > and | V > orthogonal polarization states, | H > is transmitted to the fifth optical path 223 by the third polarization beam splitter 221, | V > is transmitted to the sixth optical path 224 by being reflected by the fourth polarization beam splitter 222, | H > preferentially reaches the fourth polarization beam splitter 222 because the optical path of the fourth optical path 223 is not equal to the optical path of the sixth optical path 224, | V > lags | H > and reaches the fourth polarization beam splitter 222, and | H > is preferentially transmitted and output by the fourth polarization beam splitter 222, | V > lags | H > and is reflected and output by the fourth polarization beam splitter 222, and thus the second basis-vector decoding channel 22 resolves the received | H > and | V > orthogonal polarization states into | H > and | V > separated in time domain.
The configuration shown in fig. 6 may be replaced by the configuration shown in fig. 7, and when the first basis vector decoding is selected, the optical switch is connected to one path having the polarization rotation device 214, and when the second basis vector decoding is selected, the optical switch is connected to the other path having the polarization rotation device 214. The operation principle of the decoding component 2 shown in fig. 7 is the same as that of fig. 6, and is not described again.
The structure of the decoding component 2 for resolving the optical pulse into two components in the spatial domain is schematically shown in fig. 8, and the first basis vector decoding channel 21 includes: polarization rotating means 211, a first polarization beam splitter 212, a second polarization beam splitter 213, a third optical path 214, and a fourth optical path 215, said second basis vector decoding channel 22 comprising: a third polarizing beam splitter 221, a fourth polarizing beam splitter 222, a fifth optical path 223, and a sixth optical path 224.
The polarization rotation device 211 is configured to transform two orthogonal polarization states of the optical pulses selected for the first basis vector encoding into orthogonal polarization states corresponding to two output directions of the first polarization beam splitter 212, respectively; the first polarization beam splitter 212 is configured to transmit one of the transformed orthogonal polarization states to the first output port 13 after passing through the third optical path 214 and the second polarization beam splitter 213, and the first polarization beam splitter 212 is further configured to transmit the other of the transformed orthogonal polarization states to the second output port 14 after passing through the fourth optical path 215 and the fourth polarization beam splitter 222, and the optical pulse is resolved into a first component and a second component in a spatial domain because the two polarization states are transmitted to the first output port 13 and the second output port 14, respectively. For example, when the first basis vector decoding channel 21 receives | + and | minus orthogonal polarization states, and passes through the polarization rotating device 211, the | + and | minus orthogonal polarization states are converted into | H > and | V > orthogonal polarization states, and | H > is transmitted to the third optical path 214 by the first polarization beam splitter 212 through the transmission of the first polarization beam splitter 212, and | V > is transmitted to the fourth optical path 215 by the reflection of the first polarization beam splitter 212, since the third optical path 214 is connected to the second polarization beam splitter 213, | H > is transmitted to the second polarization beam splitter 213 and then output, the fourth optical path 215 is connected to the fourth polarization beam splitter 222, and | V > is output by the reflection of the fourth polarization beam splitter 222, and the analytic paths through which | H > and | V > are converted to be different, and thus are spatially separated, so that the first basis vector decoding channel 21 resolves | + and | quadrature polarization states received as | H > and | minus spatially separated in spatial domain L H > and l V >.
The third polarization beam splitter 221 is configured to transmit one of the orthogonal polarization states of the optical pulse selected to be encoded by the second basis vector to the first output port 13 after passing through the fifth optical path 223 and the second polarization beam splitter 213, and the third polarization beam splitter 221 is further configured to transmit the other one of the orthogonal polarization states of the optical pulse selected to be encoded by the second basis vector to the second output port 14 after passing through the sixth optical path 224 and the fourth polarization beam splitter 222, where the optical pulse is resolved into a third component and a fourth component in a spatial domain because the two polarization states are transmitted to the first output port 13 and the second output port 14, respectively. For example, when the second basis vector decoding channel 21 receives | H > and | V > orthogonal polarization states, after passing through the third polarization beam splitter 221, | H > is transmitted to the fifth optical path 223 by the third polarization beam splitter 221, | V > is transmitted to the sixth optical path 224 by the third polarization beam splitter 221, since the fifth optical path 223 is connected to the fourth polarization beam splitter 222, | H > will be transmitted by the fourth polarization beam splitter 222 and output, the sixth optical path 224 is connected to the second polarization beam splitter 213, | V > will be reflected by the second polarization beam splitter 213 and output, | H > and | V > will pass through different resolving paths and be spatially separated, and thus the second basis vector decoding channel 22 resolves the received | H > and | V > orthogonal polarization states into | H > and | V > spatially separated.
The polarization rotation device 211 is a wave plate or a faraday rotator, and mainly functions to rotate the polarization direction of the passing light pulse by 45 degrees, thereby realizing the conversion of | + >, | - >, | R > and | L > into | H > and | V >. A simpler way is: the polarization rotating device 211 comprises a first polarization maintaining fiber and a second polarization maintaining fiber, the polarization rotating device 211 is made by welding the optical axis of the first polarization maintaining fiber rotated by 45 degrees relative to the optical axis of the second polarization maintaining fiber, and the polarization direction of the light pulse passing through the welding position can be rotated by 45 degrees.
The polarization decoding device further comprises an electronic control polarization controller 4, wherein the electronic control polarization controller 4 is used for compensating the polarization state of the received optical pulse to be consistent with the polarization state of the transmitting end and transmitting the optical pulse to the input port 11.
