SIGNAL DETECTION DEVICE, SIGNAL DETECTION METHOD AND LIDAR
Disclosed in embodiments of the present application are a signal detection device, a signal detection method and a lidar. The signal detection device can be divided into two working periods, i.e., a background noise detection period and an optical signal detection period. In the background noise detection period, only background light noise is received, and a noise level (a voltage value) can be used as a comparator threshold. In the optical signal detection period, in addition to receiving the background light noise, reflected optical signals are also received, a voltage signal higher than the comparator threshold can be output to a processor by means of a comparator, so that the influence of the background light noise on the optical signals is reduced, and the accuracy of optical signal detection is improved. Moreover, in the optical signal detection period, an intensity measurer outputs measured intensity information to the processor, and the processor can calculate a receiving moment and the signal intensity corresponding to each optical signal, so that the detection of optical signals from multiple dimensions is realized, and the detected information is more comprehensive.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR NODE AUTHENTICATION IN AN OPTICAL COMMUNICATION NETWORK
The invention concerns a system and method for node authentication in an optical communication network. An authenticating node transmits a photon having polarization to a supplicant node that must be authenticated. The supplicant node reflects the photon randomly with a mirror (26) or with a mirror with Faraday rotator (28) having a 45-degree rotational power. The authenticating node receives the reflected photons from the supplicant node. The supplicant node transmits to the supplicant node information indicating when the mirror with Faraday rotator was used. The authenticating node authenticates the supplicant node if it verifies that, on the occasion of the use of the mirror with Faraday rotator (28), the authenticating node has received a photon with polarization orthogonal to that transmitted.
