Title: A system and method for time synchronisation
Inventor: Omar Iqbal
IPC: H04L9/08
Filed: 2021-03-26
Abstract: The satellite and optical ground receiver (OGR) must be synchronised so that their respective photon event identities can be correlated such that they can perform the necessary QKD post processing steps on an aligned data set to allow them to share an identical secure key. The disclosure is for the satellite to use a separate synchronisation laser operating at a wavelength separated from the quantum beam which sends pulses at a lower repetition rate than the quantum beam and having a pseudo random pattern. At the OGR these pulses are separated by their wavelength, for example by using a dichroic mirror. The OGR matches its detections of the synchronisation pulses to its knowledge of the pseudo random pattern transmitted from the satellite to establish the correct temporal starting point for the quantum beam. This can then be used to enable the photon detection events at the OGR to be mapped to the photon transmission events at the satellite (i.e. matching of photon IDs).
