Specific embodiment
In order to make the object, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiment of the invention clearer, below in conjunction with the embodiment of the present invention
In attached drawing, technical scheme in the embodiment of the invention is clearly and completely described, it is clear that described embodiment is
A part of the embodiment of the present invention, instead of all the embodiments.Based on the embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art are not having
Every other embodiment obtained under the premise of creative work is made, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The embodiment of the invention provides a kind of methods for promoting quantum key production rate, are used for fiber optic quantum key distribution system
System, fiber optic quantum key distribution system include that quantum pulse sending device, transmission fiber, dispersion compensation unit, quantum pulse connect
Receiving unit, this method are as shown in Figure 1, comprising:
S101. quantum key production rate is obtained, quantum key production rate is the quantum key bit generated in the unit time
Number.
S102. judge whether quantum key production rate is less than preset value.
In the present embodiment, if quantum key production rate is greater than preset value, enter S104;If quantum key generates
Rate is less than preset value, then enters S103.Preset value is the numerical value obtained according to actual needs setting or a large amount of practical experiences, this
Embodiment does not do specific restriction to preset value.
S103. when quantum key production rate is less than preset value, optical fiber dispersion compensation is carried out.
In the present embodiment, when quantum pulse is after long-distance optical fiber transmits, other than pulse power is attenuated, arteries and veins
Rush width as effect of dispersion and obviously broaden, peak power is remarkably decreased, due to the trigger threshold of detector is not achieved
Ignored number of pulses is significantly increased, and the final key production rate of system also accordingly can be reduced quickly.Fortunately, draw with optical fiber
The power attenuation of the quantum pulse risen is different, and pulse spreading process caused by fibre-optical dispersion is reversible, that is, passes through certain color
Scattered compensation method can re-compress the pulse being broadened, and restore original relatively high pulse peak power, in turn
Promote the final key production rate of fiber optic quantum key distribution system.Optical fiber dispersion compensation implantation of device position is more flexible, both may be used
It after being laid in transmission fiber, can also be laid in front of transmission fiber, it might even be possible to be integrated in quantum pulse sending device
Or in quantum pulse receiving device.
S104. without optical fiber dispersion compensation.
By carrying out optical fiber dispersion compensation to the too low fiber optic quantum key distribution system of quantum key production rate, can incite somebody to action
Since the fibre-optical dispersion of long range causes the quantum pulse of broadening to re-compress, or even the pulse shape before transmission is recovered, made
The quantum pulse width that quantum pulse receiving device receives is restored to initial transmission state, i.e. quantum pulse possesses relatively narrow arteries and veins
Wide and higher peak power, so as to reach the trigger threshold of detector, so as to promote fiber optic quantum key distribution
The final key production rate of system.
In an alternate embodiment of the invention, carrying out optical fiber dispersion compensation includes: the abbe number and length value for obtaining transmission fiber;
According to abbe number and length value, the dispersion measure of transmission fiber is determined;According to the dispersion measure of optical fiber to fiber optic quantum key distribution
System carries out dispersion compensation.
In the present embodiment, it is with F-M (Faraday-Michelson) type GHz phase-modulation quantum secret signalling
It is illustrated for fiber optic quantum key distribution system, as shown in Fig. 2, including transmitting terminal Alice, transmission fiber G652, dispersion
Compensate equipment, receiving end Bob.The pulse that quantum pulse light source (Pulse Laser) in transmitting terminal Alice issues is through annular
The port 1 of device (Circulator) inputs, and port 2 becomes the two-arm that dipulse respectively enters Michelson Length discrepancy after exporting,
It is wherein directly reflected back port 2 through Faraday mirror (FM) all the way to be exported by port 3, another way is by PM phase-modulation load letter
After number, port 2 is reflected back through Faraday mirror (FM) and is exported by port 3.Two pulses at this time will separate in time (pulse it
Between time interval depend on Michelson two-arm arm length difference), and pulse have relatively narrow pulsewidth and higher peak work
Rate.The burst pulse of output in addition to being influenced by optical fiber attenuation, also will receive fibre-optical dispersion after the transmission of long range G652 optical fiber
Influence, this causes pulse width obviously to broaden, and peak power declines to a great extent, finally because power is unable to reach sonde door limit value
System key production rate is caused rapidly to reduce, or even can not be at code.Carrying out optical fiber dispersion compensation includes: the color for obtaining G652 optical fiber
Dissipate the length value of coefficient and G652 optical fiber;The product of the abbe number and length value is calculated to get the dispersion measure of G652 optical fiber is arrived;
Increase suitable dispersion compensation module to F-M (Faraday-Michelson) type GHz phase tune according to the dispersion measure of G652 optical fiber
Quantum secret communication system processed carries out dispersion compensation.After increasing suitable dispersion compensation module in transmission line, dispersion
Compensating effect can re-compress the pulse after broadening, in addition recover transmission before pulse shape (certain power loss can not
Restore), then after received end Bob interferometric demodulation, the pulse possessed compared with narrow spaces and high peak power can triggered as normal light
Sub- detector (Photon Detector) simultaneously enters post-processing (Post Processing) stage into code, hence it is evident that lifting system is close
Key production rate.
In an alternate embodiment of the invention, dispersion compensation packet is carried out to fiber optic quantum key distribution system according to the dispersion measure of optical fiber
It includes: at least one chirped fiber grating and/or dispersion compensating fiber being called to carry out dispersion benefit to fiber optic quantum key distribution system
It repays.
In the present embodiment, there are mainly two types of current relatively common optical fiber dispersion compensation methods, one kind is mended based on dispersion
It repays optical fiber (DCF), another kind is based on chirped fiber grating, and basic principle is as shown in Fig. 3.Fig. 3 a is G652 optical fiber and DCF
Dispersion curve schematic diagram near 1550nm wavelength, horizontal axis are wavelength (unit nm), and the longitudinal axis is what unit length of fibre introduced
Time delay (unit ps/km), any point in curve indicate that the light of specific wavelength transmits 1km introduced time delay in the optical fiber,
The slope of curve is not that there are effect of dispersion (i.e. the light transmission speed of different wave length are different) for this kind of optical fiber of 0 explanation.It can be sent out from figure
The chromatic dispersion gradient of existing G652 optical fiber is about 17ps/ (nmkm), illustrates that the time delay of light in the medium increases with the increase of wavelength
Add;And the chromatic dispersion gradient of DCF illustrates the time delay of light in the medium with the increasing of wavelength usually at -80~-150ps/ (nmkm)
Add and reduce, and the reduction amount of every transmission 1km time delay is about 5~9 times of G652 optical fiber.Using DCF chromatic dispersion gradient with
The feature that G652 chromatic dispersion gradient symbol is opposite and absolute value is larger, we can be by shorter DCF and longer G652 optical fiber group
It closes and uses, both make after cascading overall dispersion curve slope level off to 0 by reasonable Design of length, i.e., own in light pulse
Wavelength component time delay after the transmission of this combination of fiber-optic is approximately equal, and pulse shape will not be substantially change, and be utilized in other words
DCF compensates for the pulse broadening effect as caused by long range G652 optical fiber.Fig. 3 b is the dispersion compensation based on chirped fiber grating
Schematic diagram, input pulse pulsewidth after the transmission of long range G652 optical fiber obviously broaden, and enter chirped light by optical circulator later
Grid.The grating Bragg period of chirp grating is in periodical linear change along optical fiber direction, therefore the light of different wave length passes through Zhou
Sing grating when the position reflected it is different, cause the time delay introduced different, be equivalent to effect of dispersion.For the dispersion of G652 optical fiber
Compensation, we can design the length and chirp value of grating, the light (blue shift) for making the distal end reflecting short of grating long, proximal end reflection
The light (red shift) of long wavelength, makes up the delay inequality between each wavelength component, to recover the shape of input pulse.

And/or dispersion compensation can be carried out to fiber optic quantum key distribution system after dispersion compensating fiber cascade.
In an alternate embodiment of the invention, when quantum key production rate is less than preset value, judge that quantum key production rate is less than
Whether preset value is as caused by the dispersion of transmission fiber;It is strictly by transmission light when quantum key production rate is less than preset value
When fine dispersion causes, optical fiber dispersion compensation is carried out, is not the color by transmission fiber when quantum key production rate is less than preset value
It dissipates when causing, without optical fiber dispersion compensation.In the present embodiment, judge quantum key production rate be less than preset value whether be by
It can be judged by experience caused by the dispersion of transmission fiber, be transmitted such as high frequency (~1GHz) long-distance optical fiber

It can be by least one chirped fiber grating and/or dispersion compensating fiber being inserted into before/after transmission fiber come observed quantity
Whether sub-key production rate improves, if quantum key production rate improves, it is default to judge that quantum key production rate is less than
Value is as caused by the dispersion of transmission fiber.Certainly, in other examples, can also be judged by other methods
Quantum key production rate is less than whether preset value is as caused by the dispersion of transmission fiber.When quantum key production rate is less than in advance
If value is strictly when being caused by the dispersion of transmission fiber, to carry out optical fiber dispersion compensation.When quantum key production rate is less than preset value
It is not to illustrate that there are some problems for possible fiber optic quantum key distribution system itself when being caused by the dispersion of transmission fiber.At this
