Title:Polarization-based plug-and-play measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution
Author(s):Hu, Min(1); Zhang, Litao(1); Guo, Banghong(1,2,3,4); Li, Jun(5)Source: Optical and Quantum Electronics Volume: 51 Issue: 1 DOI: 10.1007/s11082-018-1736-1 Published: January 1, 2019Abstract:Measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD) has received much attention, with the goal of overcoming all of the security loopholes caused by an imperfect detection system. We here propose a plug-and-play MDI-QKD (P&P MDI-QKD) scheme whereby an untrusted relay node, Charlie, owns a laser and sends photons to Alice and Bob. Alice (Bob) modulates the polarization of the incident photons and returns them to Charlie. Charlie uses a modified Bell state analyzer (BSA) to perform Bell state measurements (BSM). In comparison with the original version of MDI-QKD, our scheme exploits a single untrusted laser as the photon source. This makes the signal photons identical and enhances the Hong-Ou-Mandel effect. Second, because of the P&P structure, the setup can automatically eliminate the birefringence influence of the fibers, which makes the setup highly stable. Finally, our modified BSA can identify | Φ? + and | Φ? - of four Bell states with polarization encoding but not | Ψ? + and | Ψ? -. Based on practical experimental parameters, a simulation showed that the maximum theoretical secure transmission distance could reach more 280 km. ? 2019, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.Accession Number: 20190206352847 -

Title:Grafted optical vortex with controllable orbital angular momentum distribution
Author(s):Zhang, Hao(1); Li, Xinzhong(1,2,3); Ma, Haixiang(1); Tang, Miaomiao(1); Li, Hehe(1); Tang, Jie(2); Cai, Yangjian(4,5)Source: Optics Express Volume: 27 Issue: 16 DOI: 10.1364/OE.27.022930 Published: 2019Abstract:In an optical vortex (OV) field, the orbital angular momentum (OAM) distribution strongly depends on the intensity, which results in difficulty in OAM independent modulation. To overcome this limitation, we propose a grafted optical vortex (GOV) via spiral phase reconstruction of two or more OVs with different topological charges (TCs). To remain the annular shape of the GOV’s intensity, the Dirac δ-function is employed to restrict the energy in a ring. Theoretical analysis and manipulation experiments of polystyrene microspheres show that the magnitude and direction of the GOV’s local OAM are controllable by modulating the grafted TCs while the intensity remains constant. The results of this work provide an ingenious method to control the local tangential force on the light ring, which will promote potential applications in optical trapping and rotating micro-particles. ? 2019 Optical Society of America under the terms of the OSA Open Access Publishing AgreementAccession Number: 20193207292509 -

We propose multiparty measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD) protocol based on a fuzzy GHZ state analyzer, which is composed of linear optical components. Our scheme requires only N detectors and N-1 polarizing beam splitters to realize an N-party MDI-QKD network. From numerical simulations, the security communication distance is improved to 300 km, and key rate is determined to be higher than 10-14. Compared with the previous work, our scheme needs less optical components and detectors, is easier to extend more users, and narrows the gap between theory and practice in multiparty MDI-QKD network. ? 2019 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).Accession Number: 20191106614857 -

The superlattices were grown on GaSb substrate by molecular beam epitaxy technology. The circle pixel devices in the diameter of 200?μm with 5?μm at mid-infrared and 14?μm at long-infrared 100% cutoff wavelength were fabricated. Compared to only SiO2 encapsulation passivation and unpassivated detectors, the dark current density, which takes into account surface leakage current, was reduced by approximately three orders of magnitude and the R0A-product was six times higher by sulfide treatment. Besides, detectors passivated through 22?V 15?mA sulfur treated, the responsivity of was 0.95A/W and QE was 0.44 at 2.6?μm. As for the wavelength of 5.3?μm, the responsivity and QE were 1.95 A/W and 0.45 severally. ? 2019, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.Accession Number: 20191006587553 -

Title:Hermiticity-tunable beam reshaping: Localization, recurrence and group velocity oscillation

By adjusting the PT perturbations, the Hermiticity of the system varies alternatively, further resulting in the periodic oscillations of the group velocity (v g) as well as the group velocity dispersion (GVD). Once the values of v g and its corresponding GVD recover and the averaged group velocity (v g) is zero, the light beam will be localized and recur at these Hermitian points. Further study indicates that GVD plays a key role in the evolution of the light beam, larger positive dispersion [Re(GVD)] and lower magnitude of Im(GVD) lead to higher peak energy of the light field. Our work provides a non-resonant way to control the light propagation and to reshape the group velocity distribution, which may have promising applications in all-optical circuit, optical sensor and optical communications. ? 2019 The Author(s).
