LabVIEW design for photoelectric control system

Abstract

In practically every part of our lives, cyberspace has become the most common carrier of information interchange, which is advantageous to us in almost every way. Singapore is one of the world's most technologically sophisticated Infocomm and Communications Technology (ICT) marketplaces and one of the most connected countries. Singaporeans are highly connected, keen technology users, and voracious data consumers In December 2020, wireless internet penetration was 173.2 percent, while mobile penetration was 148.2 percent. Singapore is a well-established market that welcomes new technology, applications, and solutions with open arms. [1]. This shows the importance of having a secure communication network.

In this paper, we focus on Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) which is a method of quantum cryptography. This project engages development, planning and designing of a user interface which uses LabVIEW for electronic circuit for a communication protocol, Continuous Variable Quantum Key Distribution (CV-QKD). Controls such as pulse modulation and feedback for the state of polarization will be develop using LabVIEW. LabVIEW is an Application Development Environment (ADE) which makes use of visual programming to develop codes or system that can be used for industrial system.
