Quantum key distribution systems typically comprise a transmitting end for encoding a key on a light quantum and a receiving end for decoding and measuring the light quantum. Therefore, for the transmitting end of the quantum key distribution system, it is generally necessary to modulate the light quantum into different states by using modulation means such as phase modulation or polarization modulation, and the different light quantum states represent different encoded information.
For the transmitting end of the quantum key distribution system, the encoding of the intensity and polarization state of the quantum state is required. For the polarization encoding of the quantum state, according to the specific operating communication protocol, such as BB84 protocol, six-state protocol, reference system independent protocol, etc., several polarization states of horizontal polarization state, vertical polarization state, +45 degree polarization state, -45 degree polarization state, left-handed circular polarization state, and right-handed circular polarization state need to be randomly prepared; for quantum state light intensity, the number of photons is generally 0 μ 1 And mu 2 These three photon number states (by adjusting the intensity of the light pulse) are randomly generated and the photon number state and the polarization state need to be randomly combined.
Therefore, if one transmitting end can meet the quantum state preparation conditions, the key can be encoded on the light quantum.

It should be noted that, since the pulse laser 101 needs an operating current to directly adjust the light state, that is, the gain of the pulse laser 101 is controlled by continuously injecting periodic current signals at equal intervals, so that the pulse laser 101 can continuously generate light pulses at a specific period. Thus, in this mode of operation, each optical pulse output by the pulsed laser 101 is initially established by the semiconductor spontaneous emission process, resulting in each optical pulse being randomly phased, but having substantially the same optical intensity.

And subsequently, in the process of processing the received single-photon-level light pulse at the receiving end, determining which light intensity of the single-photon-level light pulse accords with the light intensity in the pre-acquired light intensity marking information, and determining the light pulse which accords with the light intensity requirement based on the light intensity.

Because the upper end of the output end of the first 50.
Therefore, when the second 50.
For single light pulse interference, the light intensity of the light pulses emitted by the output end upper end and the output end lower end of the second 50:

and has I 1 +I 2 =I up +I down ,I 1 、I 2 、I up 、I down And
Figure SMS_3
the optical energy of the optical pulse entering the second 50 optical splitter 404 from the first optical inlet, the optical energy of the optical pulse entering the second 50 optical splitter 404 from the second optical inlet, the optical intensity of the optical pulse exiting from the upper end of the output end of the second 50 optical splitter 404, the optical intensity of the optical pulse exiting from the lower end of the output end of the second 50 optical splitter 404, and the phase difference between the optical pulses entering the second 50 optical splitter 404 from the first optical inlet and the second optical inlet, respectively.
As can be seen from this, for each interference, the light intensity of the light pulse entering the first light inlet and the second light inlet of the second 50 up Is randomly varied, but I can be measured by a high speed photodetector 405 down Then calculating to obtain I up
Specifically, the high-speed photodetector 405 detects the light intensity of the input light pulse, marks the light intensity, and outputs the obtained light intensity mark information to the receiving end.
Since the phases of the optical pulses output from the lower end of the output end of the second 50.
As can be seen from fig. 4, the middle three light pulses are interference pulses after the positional misalignment interference, and the front and rear two light pulses do not interfere (if only the pulse laser 401 generates pulse 1, pulse 2, pulse 3, and pulse 4).
Continuing with fig. 4, the 5 consecutive light pulses output from the upper end of the output of the second 50. The framed light pulses are subsequently filtered out using the post-fiber structure 409. We therefore consider only the light pulse framed in the middle, which is the superposition of the first four light pulses (pulse 1, pulse 2, pulse 3 and pulse 4). Namely, 7 optical pulses output by the polarization beam combiner 408 are input to the rear optical fiber structure 409, the framed optical pulses are filtered out by the rear optical fiber structure 409, and the framed optical pulses are attenuated according to a set single photon magnitude to obtain single photon magnitude optical pulses and output to the receiving end.
As can be seen from the above description, the polarization beam combiner 408 (including the two-dimensional grating) is used to combine two optical pulses input from the first input end and the second input end according to their polarization states, where the polarization states of the first input end and the second input end are both TE modes (i.e., horizontal polarization states), and the polarization state of the optical pulse combined by the polarization beam combiner 408 can be determined by its polar angle and azimuth angle on the poincare sphere, respectively:

and the light intensity of the output light pulse is I out = I 3 + I 4 In which I 3 Light intensity of interference pulse, I, which is delayed pulse 3 and divided pulse 4 4 Is a stem of delayed pulse 1 and divided pulse 2Involving the light intensity of the pulse, of
Figure SMS_6
And
Figure SMS_7
it is the corresponding phase, so it can be seen that the polarization state and the light intensity of the optical pulse output by the polarization beam combiner 408 are both randomly changed at this time, and the polarization state of the optical pulse output by the polarization beam combiner 408 can be analyzed through the post-fiber structure 409, so as to obtain the polarization state of the polarized light combined by the polarization beam combiner 408.
After the above working states, it can be seen that the transmitting end can output random light energy and light pulses in random polarization states, the light energy range is 0 to 2I, and any polarization state can be output, so that the polarization states that can be output certainly include all polarization states such as horizontal polarization state, vertical polarization state, +45 degree polarization state, -45 degree polarization state, left-handed circular polarization state, right-handed circular polarization state, and the like required by polarization encoding. Where I is the light intensity of the light pulses (pulse 1, pulse 2, pulse 3, and pulse 4) generated by the pulse laser 401, and is typically 1mW.
Therefore, the post-fiber structure 409 can complete the random combination state of various specific intensities and polarizations required by polarization encoding, that is, the so-called state generation selection, by merely selecting the required light intensity and polarization state according to the requirements of the running protocol and discarding the non-conforming ones in the communication process. In order to improve the operating efficiency of the transmitting end and to reduce the probability of discarding the light pulses, in practice a range of states is selected for both the polarization state and the photon number, specifically for the original photon number μ 2 The actual number of photons corresponding to

The effective optical pulse may be an optical pulse resulting from the superposition of a set of optical pulses input by a pulsed laser.
For example, when a group of pulses of light input by the pulsed laser is 4 pulses of light, the valid pulses of light retained by turning off the high-speed optical switch 503 may be the framed pulses of light shown in fig. 4.
