Performance of phase-matching quantum key distribution based on wavelength division multiplexing technology

Quantum key distribution(QKD) generates information-theoretical secure keys between two parties based on the physical laws of quantum mechanics. The phase-matching(PM) QKD protocol allows the key rate to break the quantum channel secret key capacity limit without quantum repeaters, and the security of the protocol is demonstrated by using equivalent entanglement. In this paper, the wavelength division multiplexing(WDM) technique is applied to the PM-QKD protocol considering the effect of crosstalk noise on the secret key rate. The performance of PM-QKD protocol based on WDM with the influence of adjacent classical channels and Raman scattering is analyzed by numerical simulations to maximize the total secret key rate of the QKD, providing a reference for future implementations of QKD based on WDM techniques.

Design of a photonic crystal fiber polarization beam splitter with simple structure and ultra-wide bandwidth

A novel polarization beam splitter(PBS)based on dual-core photonic crystal fiber(DC-PCF)is proposed in this work.The proposed DC-PCF PBS contains two kinds of lattices and three kinds of air holes to form the asymmetrical elliptic dual-core structure.By using the full-vector finite element method,the propagation characteristics of the proposed DC-PCF PBS are investigated.The simulation results show that the bandwidth of the proposed DC-PCF PBS can reach to 340 nm,which covers the S+C+L+U communication bands,the shortest splitting length is 1.97 mm,and the maximum extinction ratio appears near wavelength 1550 nm.Moreover,the insertion loss of the proposed DC-PCF PBS is very low.It is believed that the proposed DC-PCF PBS has important applications in the field of all-optical communication and network.

Time Domain Synchronous OFDM System for Optical Fiber Communications

A spectrum efficient OFDM scheme named Time Domain Synchronous-OFDM(TDS-OFDM)is introduced into coherent optical transmission system,in which the pseudo noise(PN)sequence is exploited as guard interval to realize frame synchronization,compensate the carrier frequency offset(CFO),and estimate and equalize channel simultaneously.Since there is no pilot signals or training symbols in TDS-OFDM,the proposed scheme can achieve higher spectral efficiency(SE)above 10%improvement comparing with CPOFDM.The proposed method is implemented and verified in a 28GBaud QPSK OFDM system and a 28GBaud 16QAM OFDM system.It is demonstrated that the proposed scheme shows high CFO estimation accuracy and synchronous accuracy.Under CFO and linewidth of laser source set as 100MHz and 100kHz respectively,BER of QPSK OFDM system is below 3.8e-3 at the optical signal-to-noise ratio(OSNR)of 13dB,and BER of 16QAM OFDM system is below 3.8e-3 at the OSNR of 20dB.

Assessing high-energy x-ray and proton irradiation effects on electrical properties of P-GaN and N-GaN thin films

The effects of ionizing and displacement irradiation of high-energy x-ray and 2-MeV proton on GaN thin films were investigated and compared in this study.The electrical properties of both P-GaN and N-GaN,separated from power devices,were gauged for fundamental analysis.It was found that the electrical properties of P-GaN were improved as a consequence of the disruption of the Mg-H bond induced by high-dose x-ray irradiation,as indicated by the Hall and circular transmission line model.Specifically,under a 100-Mrad(Si)x-ray dose,the specific contact resistance pc of P-GaN decreased by 30%,and the hole carrier concentration increased significantly.Additionally,the atom displacement damage effect of a 2-MeV proton of 1×10^(13)p/cm^(2)led to a significant degradation of the electrical properties of P-GaN,while those of N-GaN remained unchanged.P-GaN was found to be more sensitive to irradiation than N-GaN thin film.The effectiveness of x-ray irradiation in enhancing the electrical properties of P-GaN thin films was demonstrated in this study.

A first-principles study has been performed to calculate the electronic and optical properties of the SbxSn1xO system.The simulations are based upon the method of generalized gradient approximations with the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof form in the framework of density functional theory.The supercell structure shows a trend from expanding to shrinking with the increasing Sb concentration.The increasing Sb concentration induces the band gap narrowing.Optical transition has shifted to the low energy range with increasing Sb concentration.Other important optical constants such as the dielectric function,reflectivity,refractive index,and electron energy loss function for Sb-doped SnO2 are discussed.The optical absorption edge of SnO2 doped with Sb also shows a redshift.

Preparation of Bi_(2)Te_(3) Based on Saturable Absorption System and Its Application in Fiber Lasers

Fiber laser is a fundamental component of laser systems and is of great significance for development of laser technology.Its pulse output can be divided into Q-switched and mode-locked.Achieving ultrashort pulse with narrower pulse duration and higher power is the focus of current research on mode-locked lasers.As an important component of fiber laser systems,saturable absorber(SA) can modulate losses in the optical cavity and generate pulses,enabling the laser system to achieve pulse output under long-term normal operating conditions better.Therefore,expanding the selection range of materials with better saturable absorption properties to improve the quality of pulse output is an important topic in current research.Here,the second generation topological insulator Bi_(2)Te_(3) single crystal is prepared,and a ring fiber laser system is built with the Bi_(2)Te_(3) SA.The mode-locked pulse with a pulse duration of 288 fs and a signal-to-noise ratio of 80.202 dB is realized.This result verifies that Bi_(2)Te_(3),as a member of topological insulator,has good saturable absorption characteristics,and has broad prospects for the application research in lasers.

Bee Colony Optimization Algorithm for Routing and Wavelength Assignment Based on Directional Guidance in Satellite Optical Networks

With the development of satellite communication,in order to solve the problems of shortage of on-board resources and refinement of delay requirements to improve the communication performance of satellite optical networks,this paper proposes a bee colony optimization algorithm for routing and wavelength assignment based on directional guidance(DBCO-RWA)in satellite optical networks.In D-BCORWA,directional guidance based on relative position and link load is defined,and then the link cost function in the path search stage is established based on the directional guidance factor.Finally,feasible solutions are expanded in the global optimization stage.The wavelength utilization,communication success probability,blocking rate,communication hops and convergence characteristic are simulated.The results show that the performance of the proposed algorithm is improved compared with existing algorithms.

Performance analysis of quantum key distribution using polarized coherent-states in free-space channel

In free space channel,continuous-variable quantum key distribution(CV-QKD)using polarized coherent-states can not only make the signal state more stable and less susceptible to interference based on the polarization non-sensitive of the free-space channel,but also reduce the noise introduced by phase interference.However,arbitrary continuous modulation can not be carried out in the past polarization coding,resulting in that the signal state can not obtain arbitrary continuous value in Poincare space,and the security analysis of CV-QKD using polarized coherent-states in free space is not complete.Here we propose a new modulation method to extend the modulation range of signal states with an optical-fiber-based polarization controller.In particular,in terms of the main influence factors in the free-space channel,we utilize the beam extinction and elliptical model when considering the transmittance and adopt the formulation of secret key rate.In addition,the performance of the proposed scheme under foggy weather is also taken into consideration to reveal the influence of severe weather.Numerical simulation shows that the proposed scheme is seriously affected by attenuation under foggy weather.The protocol fails when visibility is less than 1 km.At the same time,the wavelength can affect the performance of the proposed scheme.Specifically,under foggy weather,the longer the wavelength,the smaller the attenuation coefficient,and the better the transmission performance.Our proposed scheme can expand the modulation range of signal state,and supplement the security research of the scheme in the free-space channel,thus can provide theoretical support for subsequent experiments.

First-principles method is used to simulate the stable structure and optical properties of a 96-atom fused silica.The preferable structure of NBOHC-E＇（non-bridging oxygen hole center（NBOHC） and E＇ center） pair defect is predicted to be located at 2.4 A^° for the Si-O bond length.The quasi-particle GOWO calculations are performed and an accurate band gap is obtained in order to calculate the optical absorption properties.With the stretching of the Sil-O1 bond,an obvious redshift can be observed in the absorption spectrum.In the case of NBOHC-E＇ pair,the p-orbital DOS of Si1 atom will shift to the conduction band.Two obvious absorption peaks can be observed in the absorption spectrum.The calculation reproduced the peak positions of the well-known optical absorption bands.

Influence of disorder and deformation on the optical properties of a two-dimensional photonic crystal waveguide

We investigate the effect of disorder and mechanical deformation on a two-dimensional photonic crystal waveguide. The dispersion characteristics and transmittance of the waveguide are studied using the finite element method. Results show that the geometric change of the dielectric material perpendicular to the light propagation direction has a larger influence on the waveguide characteristics than that parallel to the light propagation direction. Mechanical deformation has an obvious influence on the performance of the waveguide. In particular, longitudinal deformed structure exhibits distinct optical characteristics from the ideal one. Studies on this work will provide useful guideline to the fabrication and practical applications based on photonic crystal waveguides.

Optical properties and applications of SnS_(2) SAs with different thickness

Q-switched lasers have occupied important roles in industrial applications such as laser marking,engraving,welding,and cutting due to their advantages in high pulse energy.Here,SnS_(2)-based Q-switched lasers are implemented.Consid-ering that SnS_(2) inherits the thickness sensitive optical characteristics of TMD,three kinds of SnS2 with different thick-ness are characterized in terms of nonlinearity and used to realize the Q-switched pulses under consistent implementa-tion conditions for comparison tests.According to the results,the influence of thickness variation on the nonlinear per-formance of saturable absorber,such as modulation depth and absorption intensity,and the influence on the correspond-ing laser are analyzed.In addition,compared with other traditional saturable absorbers,the advantage of SnS_(2) in realiz-ing ultrashort pulses is also noticed.Our work explores the thickness-dependent nonlinear optical properties of SnS_(2),and the rules found is of great reference value for the establishment of target lasers.

Statistical Channel Modeling for Indoor VLC Communications Based on Channel Measurements

Visible light communication(VLC)has attracted much attention in the research of sixthgeneration(6G)systems.Furthermore,channel modeling is the foundation for designing efficient and robust VLC systems.In this paper,we present extensive VLC channel measurement campaigns in indoor environments,i.e.,an office and a corridor.Based on the measured data,the large-scale fading characteristics and multipath-related characteristics,including omnidirectional optical path loss(OPL),K-factor,power angular spectrum(PAS),angle spread(AS),and clustering characteristics,are analyzed and modeled through a statistical method.Based on the extracted statistics of the above-mentioned channel characteristics,we propose a statistical spatial channel model(SSCM)capable of modeling multipath in the spatial domain.Furthermore,the simulated statistics of the proposed model are compared with the measured statistics.For instance,in the office,the simulated path loss exponent(PLE)and the measured PLE are 1.96and 1.97,respectively.And,the simulated medians of AS and measured medians of AS are 25.94°and 24.84°,respectively.Generally,the fact that the simulated results fit well with measured results has demonstrated the accuracy of our SSCM.

Improvement of Ga_(2)O_(3)vertical Schottky barrier diode by constructing NiO/Ga_(2)O_(3)heterojunction

The high critical electric field strength of Ga_(2)O_(3)enables higher operating voltages and reduced switching losses in power electronic devices.Suitable Schottky metals and epitaxial films are essential for further enhancing device performance.In this work,the fabrication of vertical Ga_(2)O_(3)barrier diodes with three different barrier metals was carried out on an n--Ga_(2)O_(3)homogeneous epitaxial film deposited on an n+-β-Ga_(2)O_(3)substrate by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition,excluding the use of edge terminals.The ideal factor,barrier height,specific on-resistance,and breakdown voltage characteristics of all devices were investigated at room temperature.In addition,the vertical Ga_(2)O_(3)barrier diodes achieve a higher breakdown volt-age and exhibit a reverse leakage as low as 4.82×10^(-8)A/cm^(2)by constructing a NiO/Ga_(2)O_(3)heterojunction.Therefore,Ga_(2)O_(3)power detailed investigations into Schottky barrier metal and NiO/Ga_(2)O_(3)heterojunction of Ga_(2)O_(3)homogeneous epitaxial films are of great research potential in high-efficiency,high-power,and high-reliability applications.

Electronic and optical properties of GaN/AlN quantum dots with adjacent threading dislocations

We present a theory to simulate a coherent GaN QD with an adjacent pure edge threading dislocation by using a finite element method. The piezoelectric effects and the strain modified band edges are investigated in the framework of multi-band κ · p theory to calculate the electron and the heavy hole energy levels. The linear optical absorption coefficients corresponding to the interband ground state transition are obtained via the density matrix approach and perturbation expansion method. The results indicate that the strain distribution of the threading dislocation affects the electronic structure. Moreover, the ground state transition behaviour is also influenced by the position of the adjacent threading dislocation.

First-principles study of electronic and optical properties in wurtzite Zn_(1-x)Cu_xO

We perform a first-principles simulation to study the electronic and optical properties of wurtzite Zn1-xCuxO. The simulations are based upon the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof form of generalised gradient approximation within the density functional theory. Calculations are carried out in different concentrations. With increasing Cu concentration, the band gap of Znl-xCuxO decreases due to the shift of valence band. The imaginary part of the dielectric function indicates that the optical transition between O2p states in the highest valence band and Zn 4s states in the lowest conduction band shifts to the low energy range as the Cu concentration increases. Besides, it is shown that the insertion of Cu atom leads to redshift of the optical absorption edge. Meanwhile, the optical constants of pure ZnO and Zn0.75Cu0.250, such as loss function, refractive index and reflectivity, are discussed.

The compensation effects of fiber nonlinearity in 112 Gb/s polarization division multiplexing（PDM） coherent optical systems by mid-span optical phase conjugation（OPC） based on four wave mixing（FWM） effect are studied. Comparisons of the compensation results between PDM coherent optical-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing（CO-OFDM）system and the single carrier（SC） PDM quadrature phase shift keying（QPSK） system are provided as well. The results demonstrate that nonlinear compensation effect with mid-span OPC in PDM CO-OFDM system is much more obvious than that in SC PDM QPSK system.
