摘要:

在我们的连续变量量子密钥分发(QKD)方案中,零差检测设置需要平衡两个光电二极管之间的入射光束的强度。现实的透镜系统不足以在存在由大气传输引起的大的空间光束抖动的情况下提供空间稳定的焦点。因此,我们提出了一种改进的几何光学锥,提供高达四倍的角度公差的镜头。因此,光电二极管的有效面积可以增加,而不会降低其带宽。这使得它们适用于我们的自由空间QKD实验和一般的自由空间光通信。

英文摘要:

In our continuous variable quantum key distribution (QKD) scheme, the homodyne detection set-up requires balancing the intensity of an incident beam between two photodiodes. Realistic lens systems are insufficient to provide a spatially stable focus in the presence of large spatial beam-jitter caused by atmospheric transmission. We therefore present an improved geometry for optical tapers which offer up to four times the angular tolerance of a lens. The effective area of a photodiode can thus be increased, without decreasing its bandwidth. This makes them suitable for use in our free space QKD experiment and in free space optical communication in general.
