Polarization encoding is a promising approach for practical quantum key distribution (QKD) systems due to its simple and decoding methodology. In this study, we propose self-compensating polarization encoder (SCPE) based on phase modulator, which can be composed of commercial off-the-shelf (COT) devices. We conducted proof-of-concept experiment test the SCPE, demonstrated an in-system bit error...

A numerical investigation of the structure and extinction of n-heptane/air partially premixed  ames in a counter ow conŽ guration is reported. The  ame is computed using a detailed reaction mechanism consisting of 275 elementary reactions and 41 species. The mechanism is validated by comparing its predictions with measurements for both the premixed and nonpremixed  ames. The partially premi...
