The present invention discloses a multi-wavelength wavelength modulation method and system based on external chopping time division multiplexing. The method includes: S1. By injecting a current signal with low frequency superimposed on high frequency into different wavelength lasers in a laser group, wavelength modulation of the lasers is achieved, so that the low frequency in the emitted light signal of the lasers is a scanning signal and the high frequency is a modulation signal; S2. The emitted light of different wavelength lasers is combined, and external chopping processing is performed before beam combination, thereby realizing time-division emission of different wavelength lasers. S3. The combined laser passes through an etalon to generate an interference signal, which is received by a detector, thereby realizing calibration of the spectral frequency time response of multi-wavelength wavelength modulation. The present invention avoids the influence of unstable thermal load of the lasers on wavelength calibration through the method of external chopping, and thereby realizes accurate wavelength calibration under wavelength modulation time division multiplexing.

The present invention proposes a TF-QKD method and device using an avalanche detector, which relates to the field of quantum communication technology. Alice and Bob each use single-wavelength optical time division multiplexing to periodically encode phase reference light and quantum signal light, and then transmit them to Charlie. Before the start of TF-QKD, a synchronous clock sends a clock signal to Alice and Bob. Alice and Bob send test pulse signals at preset times. Charlie calibrates and delay-compensates the synchronous clock based on the detection results of the test pulse signals, so that the arrival times of the test pulse signals emitted by Alice and Bob are consistent. The output signal delay from the synchronous clock to the optical switch is adjusted to align the switching time of the optical switch with the encoding period of Alice and Bob. The optical switch controls the phase reference light and quantum signal light to enter different single-photon detectors for detection according to the switching time.
