Long-distance frequency-division interferometer for communication and quantum cryptography.

چکیده
We introduce and demonstrate experimentally a single-channel long-distance interferometer that utilizes frequency division of two optical waves by using acousto-optic devices at the transmitting and receiving nodes of the interferometer. This novel single-channel long-distance interferometer provides unity visibility of the interference and therefore is useful not only for remote sensing and optical communications but also for quantum cryptosystems applications.

متن کاملDistance-Aware Beamforming for Multiuser Secure Communication Systems
Typical cryptography schemes are not well suited for low complexity types of equipment, e.g., Internet of things (IoT) devices, as they may need high power or impose high computational complexity on the device. Physical (PHY) layer security techniques such as beamforming (in multiple antennas systems) are possible alternatives to provide security for such applications. In this paper, we consid...

متن کاملRobust long-distance quantum communication with atomic ensembles and linear optics
Quantum communication deals with absolutely secure transfer of classical messages by means of quantum cryptography or faithful transfer of unknown quantum states by means of quantum teleportation between distant sites. The essential element for quantum communication is to create remote entangled pairs of high fidelity. The main difficulty to create such a distant entangled pair is that both pho...
