Patent number: 9178623Abstract: The present invention utilizes a high-speed serial data transceiver to generate two high-speed electric pulse signals. After passing through a gain network, the signals are used for driving an electro-optic phase modulator (PM) so as to realize phase modulation of photon signals. The present invention may directly use a high-speed digital signal to realize a four-phase modulation function needed by the BB84 quantum key distribution protocol without using a digital to analog converter or an analog switch. This can prevent modulation rate from being restricted by links including digital-to-analog conversion, switching of the analog and the like. A dual-electrode electro-optic phase modulator scheme can also effectively reduce requirements for amplitude of a modulation driving signal, thus facilitating realization of high-speed phase modulation, which meets requirements of quantum key distribution.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2013Date of Patent: November 3, 2015Assignee: University of Science and Technology ChinaInventors: Wei Chen, Shuang Wang, Zhenqiang Yin, Dajun Huang, Yang Yang, Zheng Zhou, Deyong He, Yuhu Li, Zhengfu Han, Yonggang Wang, Guangcan Guo

The present invention may directly use a high-speed digital signal to realize a four-phase modulation function needed by the BB84 quantum key distribution protocol without using a digital to analog converter or an analog switch. This can prevent modulation rate from being restricted by links including digital-to-analogue conversion, switching of the analogue and the like. A dual-electrode electro-optic phase modulator scheme can also effectively reduce requirements for amplitude of a modulation driving signal, thus facilitating realization of high-speed phase modulation, which meets requirements of quantum key distribution.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2013Publication date: July 24, 2014Applicant: UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY OF CHINAInventors: Wei Chen, Shuang Wang, Zhenqiang Yin, Dajun Huang, Yang Yang, Zheng Zhou, Deyong He, Yuhu Li, Zhengfu Han, Yonggang Wang, Guangcan Guo

Patent number: 8331797Abstract: The invention relates to a polarization-controlled encoding method, encoder and quantum key distribution system, which is characterized in that polarization maintaining light path or 90 degree rotation Faraday mirror are used inside the encoder to keep the polarization of the output pulses same, and that in the quantum key distribution system employing the polarization-controlled encoder the pulse emitted from transmitter is unidirectional-transmitted to receiver and then quantum key distribution is implemented using interference in the pulses according to the quantum key distribution protocol. The quantum key distribution system using the polarization-controlled encoder of the invention has the ability of avoiding the wiretapping to transmitter, receiver and quantum channel.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2004Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignee: University of Science and Technology of ChinaInventors: Zhengfu Han, Bing Zhu, Xiaofan Mo, Guangcan Guo
