量子物理 2026-02-05 v1

摘要

相位一致光纤(PCF)是分配近似单色光子、其频率和相位极为稳定的关键技术,对 state-of-the-art 网络化实验尤其是量子实验以及高速通信具有严苛要求。我们报道了一种新型系统,用于生产 PCF 链路,并主动校正源激光不可避免的慢速频率漂移。PCF 遵循受白相位噪声限制的 σo×τ1\sigma_o \times \tau^{-1} 稳定性行为,其 σo\sigma_o 值分别为 1.9(2)×10161.9(2) \times 10^{-16}2.6(1)×10162.6(1) \times 10^{-16},对应 3.3 km 现场部署和 71 km 纱线光纤,相位噪声抑制最高可达 47.5 dB。此外,系统还能将源激光的 33.8 mHz/s 频率漂移校正至约 0.050.05 mHz/s。因此,本方案为生产量子链路可实现 nearly 73 倍降低因非稳定光纤链路引起的 QBER,从而放宽激光频率漂移校正约束。

备注

We demonstrate the generation of a phase stabilized coherent optical fiber link using the in-house developed optical and electronic hardware. The developed system can simultaneously compensate the slow frequency drift of an ultra-stable source laser to 6.2 mHz/s using optical self-referencing and as low as 0.05 mHz/s using absolute optical frequency referencing techniques
