摘要
A quantum key distribution transmitter chip based on hybrid-integration of silica planar light-wave circuit(PLC)and lithium niobates(LN)modulator PLC is presented.The silica part consists of a tunable directional coupler and 400-ps delay line,and the LN part is made up of a Y-branch,with electro-optic modulators on both arms.The two parts are facet-coupled to form an asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer.We successfully encode and decode four BB84 states at 156.25-MHz repetition rate.Fast phase-encoding of 0 orπis achieved,with interference fringe visibilities 78.53%and 82.68%for states|+〉and|-〉,respectively.With the aid of an extra off-chip LN intensity modulator,two time-bin states are prepared and the extinction ratios are 18.65 dB and 15.46 dB for states|0〉and|1〉,respectively.
