Description

一种基于MDM-SDM的量子与经典融合通信系统及传输方法 技术领域
本发明涉及量子信息领域,尤其涉及一种基于MDM-SDM的量子与经典融合通信系统及传输方法。
背景技术
量子保密通信提供了在量子力学保证情况下安全密钥分发的潜力,证实了无条件安全的可能性,是量子通信中发展最迅速、最接近实用和规模化的技术。在过去30多年里,自由空间和基于光纤的QKD(Quantum Key Distribution,量子密钥分发)实验通过利用不同物理原理都证明了量子保密通信的可行性。但QKD系统一般采用专用的光纤和设备,在网络规模和实用性方面存在限制。为了降低成本并提高光纤传输效率,可在现有的光纤基础设施中集成QKD和经典通信系统,以此降低敷设和运营费用,并提高QKD网络的可扩展性。
1997年,Townsend首次提出针对QKD和经典信号同时传输的方案。使用CWDM(Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing,粗波分复用技术),将1300nm QKD信道与传统的1550nm经典信道进行多路复用,在光纤中实现超过25km的传输。但是考虑到光纤的非线性效应和高速传输光信噪比的要求,基于SMF(Single Mode Fiber,单模光纤)的WDM技术已经接近容量极限,且在链路上需要额外的设备,会引入格外的串扰和损耗而可能损害最终的安全性,亟需采用新的复用技术来提高光传输容量,增加频谱效率,满足日益增长的容量需求。基于FMF(Few Mode Fiber,少模光纤)的MDM(Mode Division Multiplexing,模分复用)共纤同传方案、基于MCF(Multi Core Fiber,多芯光纤)的SDM(Space Division Multiplexing,空分复用)共纤同传方案有望解决上述问题。
2013年,Joel Carpenter等人完成了经典信号和量子信号在一根6个模式FMF中模分复用传输的实验,其中基模传输量子信号,高阶模传输经典信号,经典信道和量子信道的隔离度达35dB。其优势在于利用FMF不同模式的正交性,能有效降低经典信号对量子信号的噪声干扰。但是其在传输过程中不可避免地会出现模式色散,且随着传输模式的增加,传输模式的复用和解复用将变得非常复杂。2016年,J.F.Dynes等人首次在53km的七芯MCF中以空分复用方式实现量子与经典融合传输。其优势在于MCF的各纤芯之间是基于物理结 构隔离的,量子信号受到经典信号的干扰较小,易于在大容量的经典信号同传时获得更好的QKD性能。2019年,Tobias A.Eriksson等人通过实验研究了在19核MCF中CV-QKD信号和WDM复用的24.5Gbaud 16QAM(Quadrature Amplitude Modulation,正交幅度调制)进行空分复用的可行性,其将CV-QKD信号放置在经典信号波段的保护带中的波长处,进一步抑制了信号间串扰,但因其采用的多芯光纤包层空间有限,从而使纤芯的数量受到限制,不利于进一步提升传输容量。
现有技术专利CN110247705A提供了一种基于多芯光纤的量子接入网架构及方法,可支持大量量子用户接入,但其采用的七芯光纤包层有限,难以进一步提高通信容量,本发明更优的提出采用FM-MCF特种光纤实现融合传输,利用空间维度和模式维度相结合的二维复用方式,解决了通信容量瓶颈问题。
现有技术专利CN110048776A利用不同模式之间的正交性,提出了一种基于少模光纤实现多路QKD复用的方案。但其要采用单独的设备实现量子密钥分发,成本较高,本发明更优地提出量子与经典融合传输方案,让量子信号与经典信号共用光纤基础设施,节约了成本,提高了QKD的实用性。
现有技术专利CN109600221A提出了一种基于多芯光纤实现量子与经典模分复用传输的方案,提高了信号间的隔离度。但其采用的DV-QKD协议对光源和探测器的要求比较高,本发明进一步提出使用CV-QKD协议实现融合传输,其成本低、实用性强,与传统光通信网络融合性更好。
发明内容
为了解决上述技术方案的瓶颈,本发明提出了MDM和SDM相结合的二维复用传输方式,即在一个光纤包层内放置多根纤芯,每根纤芯可以同时传输多个模式的FM-MCF(FewMode-Multi Core Fiber,少模-多芯光纤)实现融合传输。
本发明提供了一种实现超大容量传输和提升安全性的基于MDM-SDM的量子与经典融合通信系统及传输方法。采用异质沟槽辅助渐变折射率型FM-MCF特种光纤,实现MDM-SDM二维复用的量子与经典融合传输系统,解决融合网络的容量瓶颈。选取合适的纤芯数和模式数,能够降低信号处理的要求,易在量子和经典传输时获得更好的量子密钥分发性能。其异质结构使得芯间串扰对弯曲程度不敏感并且由于异质纤芯间比同质纤芯间具有更大的有效折射率差,串扰得以有效降低。其沟槽辅助型结构可以通过抑制两个相邻纤芯电 场分布的交叠,能有效减少模间串扰,较大的模场面积在降低非线性损伤的同时又能保持低色散性能。
本发明采用基于RR(Reverse Reconciliation,反向协调)GG02协议的QKD技术(高斯调制相干态CV-QKD)。在GG02协议中,发送方Alice选取服从均值为零的高斯分布的随机序列,并根据其制备相干态发送给Bob。接收方Bob随机选择零差测量的测量基并公布基矢选择,Alice仅保留与Bob所测正则分量相同的数据。Alice和Bob进行数据后处理,最终得到相同的安全密钥。与DV-QKD协议相比,CV-QKD只需普通的相干激光器,平衡零差检测器,成本低、实用性强,且在同等条件下其输出的密钥率远高于DV-QKD技术,且因为其相干检测原理与经典相干通信之间的相似性,使其与传统光通信网络融合性更好。所以本发明更优地选择了CV-QKD技术。为了进一步提高密钥传输距离,本发明进一步引入反向协调纠错协议,即Alice利用Bob发送来的校验信息将手中的数据修正的与Bob的数据相一致。

那么参数估计测试通过,产生安全密钥,通信继续进行;反之则参数估计测试未过,通信中止,本轮已产生的密钥将会被舍弃。
与现有技术相比,本发明的有益效果:
1)本发明采用MDM-SDM二维复用实现量子与经典融合通信,量子信号和经典信号采用不同且正交的模式,且在基于物理隔离的不同纤芯中传输。先前提出的融合通信的方式一般是波分复用,但基于SMF的波分复用技术已经接近传输容量的极限,不能满足人民日益增长的容量需求。而本发明通过FM-MCF(即在一个光纤包层内放置多根纤芯,每根纤芯可以同时传输多个LP模式)特种光纤实现量子信号和经典信号的MDM-SDM二维复用,大大提升了通信容量,且进一步减小了经典信号对量子信号的影响。
2)本发明采用异质沟槽辅助渐变折射率型FM-MCF特种光纤实现MDM-SDM复用传输。FM-MCF基于物理结构隔离,不同模式之间相互正交,使强经典信号和弱量子信号在具有弱耦合的空间信道同传时具有更好的信噪比和隔离度,保证了系统更高的稳定性和鲁棒性,允许通过同一FM-MCF光纤传输严格独立的信号。异质结构使芯间串扰对光纤弯曲程度不敏感,且其比同质结构具有更大的有效折射率差,能够降低信号间串扰。沟槽结构通过抑制两个相邻纤芯电场分布的交叠来减小串扰。渐变折射率结构能够最小化DMD(Differential Mode Delay,差分模式时延),降低信号处理的复杂度。采用DMD管理传输线技术,旋转一段FM-MCF将不同的纤芯拼接在一起,实现几乎0ps/km的DMD。
3)本发明量子信号选用高斯调制相干态的CV-QKD实现量子密钥分发。与DV-QKD协议相比,CV-QKD只需普通的相干激光器,平衡零差检测器,成本低、实用性强,且在同等条件下其输出的密钥率远高于DV-QKD技术,又因其相干检测原理与经典相干通信之间的相似性,使其与传统光通信网络融合性更好。
4)本发明采用量子信号和经典信号反向同传的方式,且波长间非等间隔交错。反向同传能够减小后向拉曼散射,进一步降低核间串扰,有利于实现长距离融合通信。且量子信号和经典信号采取非等间隔交错的波长分配方式,减少四波混频,减小两种信号之间的功 率耦合。
5)本发明对信号进行合理的纤芯和模式分配。因为核间串扰主要来源于相邻核芯,本发明通过间隔分配纤芯的方式,使每一根传输信号的纤芯的邻近纤芯都不传输信号。不同模式之间也存在串扰,模间串扰XT 01-01>XT 01-11>XT 11-11,所以本发明将量子信号分配到基模LP 01,将经典信号分配给高阶模,使量子信号受到最小的模间串扰。不同模式之间采用较大且相同模场有效面积,进一步减小串扰,相同的模场有效面积能够减少不同模组之间的拼接损耗和光信噪比。
6)本发明选取全光纤少模多芯光子灯笼实现信号的复用和解复用。其采用微结构毛细管模板法制备,相对于相位板、三维光波导和多平面光转换等复用器,该器件具有体积小、与传输光纤高效率耦合和对准等优点。在电信C波段的插入损耗小于0.4dB,满足CV-QKD对插入损耗的要求。且具有良好的可拓展性,可以直接拼接到FM-MCF特种光纤上,从而保证光学集成和高可靠性。

具体实施方式
为了使本发明的目的、技术方案及优点更加清楚明白,以下结合具体实施例以及附图,对本发明进一步详细说明,但本发明要求的保护范围并不局限于实施例。
实施例1:
如图1所示;
一种基于MDM-SDM的量子与经典融合通信系统,包括Alice发送端、Bob接收端和 MDM-SDM复用单元,所述Alice发送端通过MDM-SDM复用单元与Bob接收端连接;
MDM-SDM复用单元包括MDM-SDM复用器和MDM-SDM解复用器,复用器和解复用器是由微结构毛细管法制备的全光纤少模多芯光子灯笼,且相互通过FM-MCF特种光纤连接,FM-MCF为异质沟槽辅助渐变折射率型三模七芯光纤,其具有低核间串扰、低模式差分延迟和空间效率高等优势。另外,全光纤光子少模多芯光子灯笼能够将输入信号从基本模式选择性地激励成LP 01、LP 11a、LP 11b模式,模式之间相互正交。该复用器是宽带的,横跨整个C波段,具有超低的核间串扰和高模式纯度,且其插入损耗小于0.4dB,满足CV-QKD信号对复用器的要求。
所述Alice发送端包括N个LD、N个BS、N个AM、N个PM、N个PBS、1个LO、N个色散补偿单元、1个MIMO单元、N个DSP单元和N个信号判决单元;所述N个LD依次通过BS、AM、PM与PBS连接,所述N个PBS与MDM-SDM解复用器连接,所述N个判决单元依次通过DSP单元、MIMO单元、色散补偿单元与相干接收器连接,N个相干接收器与MDM-SDM解复用器连接,所述1个LO与N个相干接收器连接;
所述Bob接收端包括1个经典信号发送器、N个CV-QKD接收器、N个放大器、N个90°光学混合器、N个PBS和N个PC;所述经典信号发送器与MDM-SDM复用器连接,所述N个CV-QKD接收器依次通过放大器、90°光学混合器、PBS与PC连接,所述N个PC与MDM-SDM复用器连接;
所述经典信号发送器发送2N个QPSK信号,经过模式转换从基模转换成高阶模LP 11a、LP 11b后,进入MDM-SDM复用器后转换成适合FM-MCF传输的模式,并通过FM-MCF发送到MDM-SDM解复用器,分解成独立的2N个经典信号;分解后的各个经典信号分别进行模式转换从高阶模转换成基模的形式,并连同LO信号进入相干接收器进行相干检测,通过色散补偿单元进行色散补偿,通过MIMO单元进行均衡处理,通过DSP单元进行数字信号处理,最后进行信号判决;所述Alice发送端的N个LD发射一个脉冲,通过90/10的BS将脉冲分成上路的量子信号和下路的LO信号,量子信号经AM和PM调制后与LO信号通过PBS耦合到一起,进入MDM-SDM解复用器后,通过FM-MCF进入MDM-SDM复用器,分解成N个独立的量子信号,所述独立的量子信号依次通过PC单元进行偏振校正,通过PBS单元分成上路的量子信号和下路的LO信号,两束信号通过90°光学混合器执行4个90°的相位干涉,从中提取出量子信号的相位和振幅,通过放大器进行信号放大,最后到达CV-QKD接收器。
其中,量子信号采用发送本振信号的方式而非本地本振。因为本地本振由于相位估计和相位漂移而导致的多余噪声可能会显著影响传输距离以及密钥率。
具体的,经典信号发送器包括2N个激光二极管、2N个I-Q调制器、2N个AWG,其中2N个激光二极管分别通过I-Q调制器与MDM-SDM复用器连接,2N个AWG与I-Q调制器连接;QPSK具有频率利用效率高,抗干扰性强的优势。
具体的,CV-QKD单元采用基于反向协调GG02协议产生连续变量量子信号进行密钥分发。其利用相干态来进行编码,相干态是非正交的,原则上可以实现密钥的安全分发。GG02协议中Alice将真空态沿x和p方向上都进行平移,平移参数为一个复数α=k(x A+ip A),得到相干态|α>。其中x A和p A是两个独立同分布的高斯变量,k是比例系数。Bob使用零差探测,随机地选择测量哪一个分量当Bob选择测量x分量时,测量结果就是以tx A为中心的一个高斯分布。当Bob测量x(p)分量时,他的测量结果中不包含Alice所调制的p(x)分量的信息,因此Alice只需要保留Bob所测量分量的调制信息即可。
更具体的,如图2所示,对一个沟槽辅助型的光纤来说,图中右上角的结构,中间是纤芯,纤芯外侧设有包层和沟槽结构,此结构使远离纤芯的电场被抑制,从而会使相邻纤芯的电场间的重叠积分变小,这样在一定程度上抑制了串扰。光纤直径D el=223μm,以使得光纤制备时的失败率不大于10 -7;外层包层厚度CT=48.0μm,为了抑制宏弯损耗;芯间距Λ=40.8μm,具体计算公式可表示为:
Figure PCTCN2020140114-appb-000004
更具体的,渐变折射率因子α=2.2,最大纤芯折射率Δ 1=0.406%,为了获得较小的模间串扰和大的模式差分时延,且降低DMD对波长的依赖;FM-MCF的纤芯半径r 1=9.22μm,纤芯中心到沟槽内侧的距离r 2=14.752μm,因为沟槽的位置对DMD和DMD的斜率有很大影响,当r 1/r 2=1.6时,量子信号处的DMD斜率的绝对值最小,接近0ns/km/nm;纤芯外侧设有折射率沟槽,折射率沟槽的厚度W=2.023μm,沟槽与包层的相对折射率差Δ t=-0.7%。核芯之间的不同模场有效面积降导致不同模组之间的拼接损耗和光信噪比,为了尽可能减少这种影响,所有核芯中都使用相同的LP 01模场有效面积110μm 2。如图3所示,FM-MCF的纤芯折射率是渐变式分布的。
更具体的,如图4所示,异质沟槽辅助渐变折射率型三模七芯光纤中,芯1、3、5用于传输信号,因为核芯间串扰主要由相邻核芯间的串扰决定,所以本发明没有让所有核芯都传输信号,而是采用间隔分配的方式,使传输信号的核芯受到最小的串扰。每个纤芯可 以传输三种模式,其中基模LP 01用于传输量子信号,高阶模LP 11a和LP 11b用于传输经典信号。因为基模受到的模间串扰最小,所以将其分配给易受影响的量子信号。
为了证明本发明提出方法的可行性,使用耦合模式和耦合功率理论计算核间串扰,其是FM-MCF的关键参数,以保证各个核芯能够独立操作。模式耦合系数κ mn和平均功率耦合系数

可具体表示为:

其中Δβ=β mn,x m和y m为z=0时m芯的中心坐标。根据平均功率耦合系数,可以进一步导出长度为L km的FM-MCF光纤链路中,相邻两个纤芯m和n之间的核间串扰为:
Figure PCTCN2020140114-appb-000012
另外,具有六个相邻核芯的最中间纤芯具有最差的串扰,可具体表示为以下公式:
XT worst=XT-10lg(N cores)
此处N cores是最邻近核芯的数量。
计算得出串扰都小于-30dB,可见异质沟槽辅助渐变折射率型FM-MCF特种光纤通过合理的纤芯设计和信号分配,能够使各路信号在各自纤芯中传播,因此基于FM-MCF特种光 纤实现量子信号和经典信号的二维复用是一种可行的方案。
为了评估FM-MCF的空间效率,引入RCMF(Relative Core Multiplicity Factor,相对核芯多重因子),其具体的计算公式如下所示:
RCMF FM-MCF=CMF FM-MCF/CMF SMF

  10. 一种基于MDM-SDM的量子与经典融合通信传输方法,其特征在于,包括以下步骤:
    S1、系统噪声测试:在Alice发送端发射激光脉冲串的情况下,测试系统噪声,判断信噪比是否高于设定的信噪比预设值,若信噪比高于设定额信噪比设定值,进入步骤S2和S2’,若信噪比低于设定的信噪比预设值,生成提示信息;
    S2、量子态制备:Alice发送端的LD发射一个脉冲,被90/10的不对称分束器分成两束脉冲,光强较强的脉冲束用作Bob接收端的测量本振信号,光强较弱的脉冲束被发送到AM单元和PM单元进行幅度和相位调制,调制后的信号和本振信号通过PBS进行偏振复用;
    S2’、QPSK调制:经典信号发送器根据QPSK协议调制经典信息,该协议规定了四种载波相位45°、135°、225°、315°,分别将经典信息编码为比特{11,01,00,00};载波相位在四个不同的数值之间切换,产生2N路QPSK信号;
    S2’.1、模式转换:通过S2’得到的各个QPSK信号经过模式转换从基模形式转换成高阶模LP 11a、LP 11b
    S3、MDM-SDM复用传输:把通过S2得到的各路信号通过MDM-SDM解复用器耦合到一根FM-MCF特种光纤中进行复用传输,之后到达MDM-SDM复用器,分解成N个独立的量子信号输出;把通过S2’.1得到的各路信号通过MDM-SDM复用器耦合到一根FM-MCF特种光纤中进行复用传输,之后到达MDM-SDM解复用器,分解成独立的2N个经典信号输出;
    S4、模式转换:MDM-SDM解复用器输出的经典信号通过模式转换从高阶模转换成基模,进入相干接收器;
    S5、量子信号处理:MDM-SDM复用器输出的量子信号进入PC单元进行量子信号和本振信号偏振偏移的校正,Bob接收端的PBS将输入信号分解成信号脉冲和本振信号脉冲,两束脉冲馈入90°光学混合器,通过在信号和本振之间执行四个相位干涉来提取信号的相位和振幅,通过放大器进行信号放大,最后进入CV-QKD接收器进行零差检测;
    S5’、经典信号处理:本地振荡器产生的本振信号与相干接收器接收到的经典信号进行相干检测;随后进入色散补偿单元进行色散补偿;之后进入MIMO和DSP单元进行均衡处理和信号处理,恢复发送的经典信号;最后完成数据恢复并进行判决;
    S6、参数估计测试:Bob接收端发送长度为
    Figure PCTCN2020140114-appb-100001
    比特的信息给Alice发送端,让它计算‖X‖ 2、‖Y‖ 2和<X,Y>,以及γ a、γ b和γ c;如果
    Figure PCTCN2020140114-appb-100002
    Figure PCTCN2020140114-appb-100003
    那么参数估计测试通过,产生安全密钥,通信继续进行;反之则参数估计测试未过,通信中止,本轮已产生的密钥将会被舍弃。
