Abstract

The method for obtaining single photon output according to photon number distribution in output port is that under maintaining constant light input in the input end, fixed light field distribution isformed via light splitting process and the photon numbers in various output ports are re-distributed in determined ratio. The said device includes input end, 5 to 95 light splitting coupler, 50 to 50 light splitting coupler, final stage polarizing light splitting coupler, and light detector. The input end is one mode-locking semiconductor laser or Q-regulating output semiconductor laser; the light splitting couplers are connected via fusion welding; and the final stage polarizing light splitting coupler is used as the single photon output port. The present invention has stable single photon output and the output single photon may be used as the single photon source for classified quantum communication emitter.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optical quantum secure communication, in particular to a method for obtaining a single photon output according to the number of photons at an output port. Background technique [0002] Optical quantum secure communication uses single photon to transmit information, and quantum code is represented by the quantum state of single photon. In this way, single photons must be obtained first. Then prepare the single-photon quantum state for encoding. [0003] For a specific light wavelength, a single photon is the smallest energy that can be measured. For example, in the communication band of 1550 nanometers, the energy of a photon is 1.28×10 -19 Joule, the communication band is 1310 nanometers, and the energy of a photon is 1.518×10 -19 joule. A 1 milliwatt semiconductor laser with a modulated output of 10 Gbits has approximately one hundred thousand photons per pulse. [0004] The ideal single-photon source is a sy...
