    摘要: It is aimed to provide a phase modulation apparatus that realizes high-precision phase modulation in high-speed phase modulation of dual optical pulses. A phase modulator 105 included in the phase modulation apparatus, when a dual optical pulse with a time difference composed of a signal optical pulse SP and a reference optical pulse RP passes therethrough, phase-modulates this dual optical pulse in proportion to an applied voltage of an electrical pulse. As a result, a phase-modulated SP' and a phase-modulated RP' are output. A modulation signal generator 106 outputs an electrical pulse of a predetermined bias at an input timing of a trigger signal, according to an input of a four-valued data signal, for example. The modulation signal generator 106 outputs, for one input of the trigger signal, a dual electrical pulse having a time difference and having opposite polarities. The time difference of this dual electrical pulse corresponds to the time difference of the dual optical pulse that passes through the phase modulator 105.

    摘要: The optical system of a transmitter for quantum cipher comprises a Faraday mirror and a phase modulator. The phase modulator has a double refraction power, and therefore a very large insertion loss attributed to the optical path structure is inevitable. As a result, the S/N ratio is low and the adjustment at start is difficult. Two different optical pulses, an optical pulse of TE polarization and an optical pulse of TM polarization enter the transmitter and pass through a phase modulator (8). The optical pulse of TE polarization is changed to an optical pulse of TM polarization and the optical pulse of TM polarization is changed to an optical pulse of TE polarization because of rotation of polarization plane by a Faraday mirror (7) and reflected by the mirror (7) and outputted from the transmitter. Two polarization beam splitters (5, 6) are used, and the optical pulse of TM polarization is made to bypass the phase modulator (8). Only the optical pulse of TE polarization is made to pass through the phase modulator (8).
