Problems solved by technology

The commonly used quantum receiving module is mainly composed of BS (energy beam splitter) and PBS (polarization beam splitter). Due to the performance limitations of BS and PBS, the polarization maintaining performance is not high (usually 100:1), and the light splitter The characteristic that the transmission-reflectance ratio deviates significantly
