起偏角对保偏光纤中光波偏振度的影响

实际应用中,入射到保偏光纤的光波通常是准单色光。当入射光的偏振方向与保偏光纤本征轴未对准时,光波在保偏光纤中传播时的偏振度会发生变化。利用部分相干理论分析了准单色偏振光和部分偏振光在保偏光纤中传播时偏振度随起偏角和传播距离的变化情况。实验研究了部分偏振光的偏振度随起偏角变化的规律。研究结果表明:传播距离在厘米量级内时,偏振度随传播距离的变化较明显,对于一般的长距离传输而言,传播距离对偏振度的影响可以忽略;与传播距离相比,起偏角对偏振度的影响较大,为了使偏振度的相对变化量小于0.01%,起偏角必须控制在0.405°以内。

部分相干Airy光束在湍流大气中传输时的偏振特性

研究了部分相干Airy光束在湍流大气中传输时的偏振特性,偏振保持度作为衡量偏振传输效果的一个重要参数.结果表明:部分相干Airy光束在湍流大气中传输足够远时,其偏振度会变回到初始值;而在自由空间中传输,光束的偏振度会保持在某一个特定值;在湍流大气中,当光束传输距离不是很远时,光束对称轴上的偏振度分布为Airy函数,但是当传输足够远时,该偏振度分布逐渐趋向于类高斯状;光束的束腰半径越大,相干长度越长,越有利于光束传输后偏振的保持;存在一个指数截断因子,使得光束的偏振保持度很差.这些结论对于Airy光束在通信领域中的应用具有重要的意义.

Pulsed interferometric optical fibre sensor detecting wiretapping in long transmission lines

A modified optical fibre based Mach-Zehnder interferometer was applied as a sensor to detect wiretapping in long transmission optical fibre lines. The signal consisting of short pulses (around 1?ns) was launched to the input of the interferometer based on the polarization maintaining fibres and polarization elements. When the sensing line was undisturbed, detectors registered only a single pulse. The additional two side pulses appear, if the wiretapping attempt took place. For robust detection of any alarm situation we proposed two-criteria algorithm to minimize false alarm rate. Moreover, slow environmental fluctuations were continuously monitored and compensated by polarization controllers. We measured frequency characteristics of the sensor and performed a hundred wiretapping attempts, which proved high performance of the sensor.     

A secure transmission scheme on link level for optical fiber communication systems

In secure communication systems, a very important problem is how to prevent wiretapping. Lots of researches on cryptography give good solutions on secure communications. But if a wire tapper can detect the existence of the transmitted information and get enough eavesdropped frames, cryptanalysis techniques can help to blindly recover the frame structures, error-control coding parameters and passwords. In this paper we propose a novel secure transmission scheme on the link level for optical fiber communication systems. Based on the blind frame synchronization technique, we propose to drop the traditionally strict frame structures in fiber communications and conceal the error-correcting-encoded blocks among random data, so that wire tappers cannot get enough coded packets to analyze and recover the transmitted information. Therefore, the proposed method is very suitable for secure communications and military communications.
