通过数值仿真,以多个相位屏模拟大气湍流,研究大气湍流对轨道角动量(Orbital Angular Momentum,OAM)态复用通信系统质量的影响.改变大气湍流折射率结构常量C2n和传输距离z,分析其对OAM态复用系统归一化接收功率、误码率等的作用.研究结果表明当大气湍流强度增加和传输距离增长时,复用系统归一化接收功率下降、误码率增加.当C2n增大到5×10-13 m-2/3时,系统归一化接收功率下降到0.2以下,误码率增大到0.3以上;当传输距离增大到10 000m,系统归一化接收功率下降到0.3以下,误码率增大到0.35以上.同时,对比不同方位角指数l取值的两个OAM态复用系统受大气湍流的影响,发现:l取值越接近的系统,受大气湍流影响越大.在等同光学信噪比下大气湍流导致OAM态复用系统误码率性能降低2至3个数量级.该研究对OAM态复用系统的实用化具有积极的参考作用.     

Correspondence normalized ghost imaging on compressive sensing

Ghost imaging(GI) offers great potential with respect to conventional imaging techniques. It is an open problem in GI systems that a long acquisition time is be required for reconstructing images with good visibility and signal-to-noise ratios(SNRs). In this paper, we propose a new scheme to get good performance with a shorter construction time. We call it correspondence normalized ghost imaging based on compressive sensing(CCNGI). In the scheme, we enhance the signal-to-noise performance by normalizing the reference beam intensity to eliminate the noise caused by laser power fluctuations, and reduce the reconstruction time by using both compressive sensing(CS) and time-correspondence imaging(CI) techniques. It is shown that the qualities of the images have been improved and the reconstruction time has been reduced using CCNGI scheme. For the two-grayscale "double-slit" image, the mean square error(MSE) by GI and the normalized GI(NGI) schemes with the measurement number of 5000 are 0.237 and 0.164, respectively, and that is 0.021by CCNGI scheme with 2500 measurements. For the eight-grayscale "lena" object, the peak signal-to-noise rates(PSNRs)are 10.506 and 13.098, respectively using GI and NGI schemes while the value turns to 16.198 using CCNGI scheme. The results also show that a high-fidelity GI reconstruction has been achieved using only 44% of the number of measurements corresponding to the Nyquist limit for the two-grayscale "double-slit" object. The qualities of the reconstructed images using CCNGI are almost the same as those from GI via sparsity constraints(GISC) with a shorter reconstruction time.     

Efficient entanglement purification in quantum repeaters

We present an efficient entanglement purification protocol (EPP) with controlled-not (CNOT) gates and linear optics. With the CNOT gates, our EPP can reach a higher fidelity than the conventional one. Moreover, it does not require the fidelity of the initial mixed state to satisfy F>1/2. If the initial state is not entangled, it still can be purified. With the linear optics, this protocol can get pure maximally entangled pairs with some probabilities. Meanwhile, it can be used to purify the entanglement between the atomic ensembles in distant locations. This protocol may be useful in long-distance quantum communication.     

Bessel–Gaussian beam-based orbital angular momentum holography

Orbital angular momentum(OAM), as a new degree of freedom, has recently been applied in holography technology.Due to the infinite helical mode index of OAM mode, a large number of holographic images can be reconstructed from an OAM-multiplexing hologram. However, the traditional design of an OAM hologram is constrained by the helical mode index of the selected OAM mode, for a larger helical mode index OAM mode has a bigger sampling distance, and the crosstalk is produced for different sampling d...     

基于脉冲位置调制的测量设备无关量子密钥分发（英文）

为了进一步提高测量设备无关量子密钥分发(MDI-QKD)系统的传输距离和密钥率,将脉冲位置调制(PPM)技术引入到MDI-QKD中,利用弱光源中的空脉冲和高维编码技术,提出了一种高效的测量设备无关量子密钥分发,即PPM-MDI-QKD协议.协议中,通信双方首先将M个连续的弱脉冲构建成一个PPM帧,然后利用BB84极化编码和PPM编码方案实现高维编码,最后根据合法PPM帧、成功贝尔态测量结果以及匹配基筛选出安全密钥.数值计算结果表明,当光源平均光强小于0.13时,PPM-MDIQKD协议的性能优于MDI-QKD协议;与迄今为止报道的最远404km的MDI-QKD协议相比,在相同条件下,本协议最远传输距离能够达到480km,在404km传输距离上的密钥率可达5.4×10-4 bps.     

Compressed ghost edge imaging

In this Letter, we propose an advanced framework of ghost edge imaging, named compressed ghost edge imaging(CGEI). In the scheme, a set of structured speckle patterns with pixel shifting illuminate on an unknown object.The output is collected by a bucket detector without any spatial resolution. By using a compressed sensing algorithm, we obtain horizontal and vertical edge information of the unknown object with the bucket detector detection results and the known structured speckle patterns. The edge is finally constructed via twodimensional edge information. The experimental and numerical simulations results show that the proposed scheme has a higher quality and reduces the number of measurements, in comparison with the existing edge detection schemes based on ghost imaging.

Turbulence mitigation scheme based on multiple-user detection in an orbital-angular-momentum multiplexed system

Atmospheric turbulence(AT) induced crosstalk can significantly impair the performance of a free-space optical(FSO)communication link using orbital angular momentum(OAM) multiplexing.In this paper,we propose a multiple-user detection(MUD) turbulence mitigation scheme in an OAM-multiplexed FSO communication link.First,we present a MUD equivalent communication model for an OAM-multiplexed FSO communication link under AT.In the equivalent model,each input bit stream represents one user's information.The deformed OAM spatial modes caused by AT,instead of the pure OAM spatial modes,are used as information carriers,and the overlapping between the deformed OAM spatial modes are computed as the correlation coefficients between the users.Then,we present a turbulence mitigation scheme based on MUD idea to enhance AT tolerance of the OAM-multiplexed FSO communication link.In the proposed scheme,the crosstalk caused by AT is used as a useful component to deduce users' information.The numerical results show that the performance of the OAM-multiplexed communication link has greatly improved by the proposed scheme.When the turbulence strength C_n~2 is 1 × 10~(-15) m~(-2/3),the transmission distance is 1000 m and the channel signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)is 26 dB,the bit-error-rate(BER) performance of four spatial multiplexed OAM modes l_m = + 1,+2,+3,+4 are all close to 10~(-5),and there is a 2-3 fold increase in the BER performance in comparison with those results without the proposed scheme.In addition,the proposed scheme is more effective for an OAM-multiplexed FSO communication link with a larger OAM mode topological charge interval.The proposed scheme is a promising direction for compensating the interference caused by AT in the OAM-multiplexed FSO communication link.
