Application: Multiplexing device, qkd system, qkd device, multiplexing method, and adjustment method (Patent ID: US20240204993A1)
The patent filed by Toshiba Corp. describes a multiplexing device for quantum key distribution (QKD) systems. The device includes a multiplexing circuitry, branching circuitry, light receiving circuitry, and a processor. The multiplexing circuitry performs optical wavelength multiplexing on quantum signals from multiple QKD devices. The branching circuitry splits the multiplexed signal into a signal to be measured and a signal to be output externally. The processor adjusts the intensity of the output signals based on the measurement results and predetermined ratios. Additionally, the device includes a filter circuitry to filter quantum signals based on their wavelengths.
The patent also includes claims for the multiplexing device, a QKD system incorporating the device, and a method for adjusting the quantum signals. The claims detail the configuration of the multiplexing device, the adjustment of signal intensity to ensure one photon per pulse, and the interaction between the QKD devices and the multiplexing device. The method claims outline the steps involved in adjusting the quantum signals transmitted from the QKD devices based on predetermined ratios and measurement results. Overall, the patent focuses on optimizing the transmission of quantum signals in QKD systems through multiplexing and signal adjustment techniques.
