The domestic open FTIR is superior to the corresponding open FTIR instruments from other foreign countries in terms of signal-noise ratio.
Based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle, the analytical expressions of the beam width and beam wander for radial array beams in anisotropic turbulent atmosphere are derived. The numerical analysis results show that the beam wander of radial array beams influenced by the number of Gaussian beam is small, but the radius of the ring is large. There is small beam wander for radial array beams with the large radius of the ring. Beam wander is also mainly affected by the power law and anisotropic factor in anisotropic turbulence. Under the same conditions, laser array beams in anisotropic turbulent atmosphere are less disturbed than Gaussian beam.
Convex aspheric mirror surface is a major problem in optical inspection. A method for testing a convex aspheric mirror is proposed by using concavity autocollomatic transflective lens. The transflective lens is composed of a convex spherical surfaces and a concave one. The concave surface is autocollomatic semi-reverse half surface. With the autocollomatic semi-reverse half surface design, the wavefront can be compensated and reflected by the aspheric surface. The light can return along the original path to achieve compensation inspection. The method has the advantages of simple structure, strong detection capability and no center obstruction. Based on the third-order aberration theory, calculation formula of the initial structure of inspection system is deduced, and the key parameters of different convex aspheric mirror inspection systems are obtained. The detection optical path of a convex reflection aspherical surface r03=2000 mm, e2=-2.4 is designed, and the initial structure parameters are optimized using Zemax software. Wavefront aberration of system is less than 0.05λ. The design and simulation results show that the proposed method for testing concavity autocollomatic transflective lens is very beneficial to the inspection of all kinds of convex aspherical mirrors.
The semi-transmitting lens is used in the test of aspheric surface. The semi-transmitting surface and the surface under testing are close to each other in space as two surfaces of the lens.

According to the third order aberration theory, a method to obtain the testing parameters of the surface under testing is given. An optical system to test a convex aspheric mirror with diameter of 300 mm and focus of 1200 mm is designed. After the optimization with ZEMAX, the wave front aberration of the testing system is lower than 1/(100 λ), which meets the requirement of optical testing.

For the two schemes of classical-quantum signals simultaneous transmission sharing a same fiber-transmission in the same waveband and transmission in distant wavebands, the formulas for calculating the counting rate of spontaneous Raman scattering noise are derived respectively. Based on this, the influence of classical launch power and transmission distance on performance quantum key distribution is analyzed. The simulation results show that the counting rate of spontaneous Raman scattering noise in the same waveband is greater than that in distant wavebands under the same classical launch power. As the classical launch power increases, the slope of counting rate of spontaneous Raman scattering noise in the same waveband is much higher than that in distant wavebands. The quantum key distribution performance of the two schemes is affected both by the classical launch power and transmission distance. It ′ s more suitable to adopt the scheme of transmission in distant wavebands when the classical launch power is at high level and transmission distance is not so far. Conversely, it ′ s more suitable to adopt the scheme of transmission in the same waveband when the classical launch power signal is at low level and transmission distance is great.
The unconditional security of quantum key distribution protocols is based on the assumption of ideal quantum devices, classical devices and random numbers. However, there are some differences between the actual system and the ideal protocol, which may be controlled by the eavesdropper to attack the practical quantum key distribution system. The realistic beam splitter has a wavelength-dependent property, which can be exploited by the eavesdropper to control the measurement basis selection. By proposing the randomness deviation parameters about the measurement basis selection, the wavelength-dependent property can be effectively estimated. More precisely, security of quantum key distribution with wavelength attack is analyzed by utilizing the entanglement distillation and purification technology, and the security key rate is given with different randomness deviation parameters.
Quantum cryptography is the product of the combination of quantum theory and key science, and it is an important part of quantum secure communication. Quantum secret sharing (QSS) is one of the core contents of quantum cryptography. It can transfer keys between two parties that are not fully trusted. At present, it has attracted the attention of researchers at home and abroad. A novel BB84 protocol-based quantum secret sharing with decoy states is proposed. A series of weak coherent pulses generated by Alice are polarizedly modulated, then separated as two series of weak coherent pulses by a beam splitter. The two series of weak coherent pulses are intensity modulated further by a decoy modulator, and then sent to Bob and Charlie. Bob and Charlie measure the weak coherent pulses and announce the results. Based on the results, Alice, Bob and Charlie can obtain the secure key after basis reconciliation, error correction and privacy amplification. As the numbers of qubit generating and measuring devices are reduced greatly, the scheme provides a practical way for QSS technique with less cost.

Beam-splitting photodetectors in optical communication network monitoring systems are used to detect the flow of optical signals and have a large number of applications in the field of communication and signal detection. In order to meet the device usage requirements, a beam-splitting photodetector film is developed based on ion beam aided deposit(IBAD) technology.
