    摘要: The invention provides a variable gain amplifier system for use in a burst mode receiver, said system comprising an amplifier adapted to amplify a signal; a gain control module; a dc offset compensation module adapted to derive a compensation signal as a function of the amplifier gain. Compared to existing methods for dc offset compensation in variable gain amplifier, the system and method for dc offset compensation allows fast adjustment of rapidly changing dc offsets that occur in applications where the gain of the variable gain amplifier is adjusted rapidly.

    摘要: A communication system uses quantum cryptography for the secure distribution of a key. A single-photon signal is phase-modulated and transmitted over a pair of time-multiplexed transmission paths. With each original single-photon signal in a given one of the transmission paths, a duplicate signal is transmitted. The duplicate is identically modulated and orthogonally polarized. At the receiver, the outputs of the two paths are combined interferometrically. A single polarization-insensitive measurement is derived from the combined contributions of the orthogonally polarized signals.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for secure distribution of cryptographic key information based on quantum cryptography is described. The apparatus incorporates or is used with a transmitter comprising a source of pairs of dim, depolarized light pulses together with a phase modulator and random number generator that are used to encode the pulse pairs with the binary key information by changing the relative phases of the pulses of some pairs. The apparatus incorporates a receiver comprising a polarization beam splitter, and a pair of interferometers and optical detectors. The invention overcomes problems associated with polarization evolution in quantum cryptography systems that incorporate a non-polarization-preserving optical channel (e.g. standard optical fiber). In addition the invention removes the need for an active random number generator and phase modulator at the receiver, because the polarization beam splitter acts as if it were a random router, thereby achieving significant reduction of the cost and complexity of the apparatus.

    摘要: In a method of quantum cryptography, a transmitter (T) communicates on a quantum channel with several receivers (R1-R3). The receivers are located on different branches of a common communications network The method establishes a different respective secret key for each receiver. A timing pulse may be transmitted from the transmitter to the receivers to synchronise the receivers prior to a transmission on a quantum channel. The quantum channel may be multiplexed and transmitted concurrently with classical multi-photon transmissions on the network.
