Quantum Optoelectronics Integrated Teaching Platform
Product Overview
This product is specifically designed for teaching in the new engineering disciplines. It comprises a cross-integrated set of experimental modules covering both classical communication and quantum communication, and incorporates core experiments commonly used in fiber-optic communications as well as key experiments in quantum key distribution (QKD), a cornerstone of quantum secure communications. This product addresses the issue of isolated disciplinary silos in education, where students often find it difficult to put their theoretical knowledge into practice after completing their studies.
The experimental content of this device has been designed with a graded approach. It begins with fiber-optic communication—a common topic in telecommunications—followed by the study of optical components and related experiments. Finally, the curriculum is upgraded to include quantum key distribution experiments, enabling students, through a step-by-step learning process, to independently build simple quantum-secure communication systems. The platform’s integrated design also enhances equipment utilization, allowing students majoring in optoelectronic information, optical engineering, and other related fields to expand their knowledge further while conducting experiments specific to their own disciplines.
Meanwhile, addressing the issues of complex structure, difficult debugging, and high cost associated with traditional quantum devices, we have optimized the optical path for learning quantum key distribution. While maintaining rigorous academic integrity, we employ electronic methods to simulate the optical path. Students focus their learning on building and implementing the optical paths for various quantum key distribution protocols, while simplifying the complex adjustments required for optical components. This approach enables students to grasp the relevant knowledge without being hindered by the difficulties in adjusting equipment, thus ensuring that teachers can complete their instructional content on schedule.

Atmospheric Turbulence Simulation Experimental System
The atmospheric turbulence simulation experimental system is built upon a spatial light modulator (SLM) to create a platform for simulating atmospheric turbulence conditions. By leveraging Kolmogorov’s statistical theory of turbulence and the power spectral density method, it generates dynamically adjustable turbulent phase screens. The system supports adjustment of subharmonic orders, enabling the creation of random phase screens that accurately reflect the statistical characteristics of turbulence. The software integrates a multidimensional parameter-control module that encompasses key variables such as phase-screen resolution and size, atmospheric coherence length (r0), inner and outer turbulence scales (l0 and L0), beam wavelength, beam waist radius, and propagation distance, thereby facilitating fine-grained simulation of turbulence intensity and propagation scenarios. Real-time loading of phase screens onto the SLM enables wavefront modulation, while the system also provides synchronous support for visual analysis of phase screens, import and export of image files, and data storage, thus offering a high-precision experimental environment for research on laser propagation under atmospheric turbulence interference and for validation of adaptive-optics algorithms.
