Abstract

This paper studies two DWDM schemes based on segmented and interleaved quantum and optical channels for DWDM-QKD system. Noises for the co-propagation are analyzed by simulation and experiment, and the co-switching is also experimentally demonstrated.

Experimental Investigation of Heterodyne Quantum Key Distribution in the S-Band Embedded in a Commercial DWDM System

Sebastian Kleis, Joachim Steinmayer, Rainer H. Derksen +1 more

The tolerance of continuous-variable quantum key distribution to co-propagating DWDM channels is investigated. For the experiments, the quantum channel is operated in the S-band and multiplexed with a commercial C-band DWDM system. It is shown that compared to previously proposed configurations, the number of co-propagating channels can be doubled.

We report the co-propagation, over 50 km of SSMF, of the quantum channel (1310 nm) of a QKD system with ~17 dBm total power of DWDM data channels (1550 nm range). A metric to evaluate Co-propagation Efficiency is proposed.

The tolerance of continuous-variable quantum key distribution to co-propagating DWDM channels is investigated. The quantum channel is operated in the S-band or L-band and multiplexed with a commercial C-band DWDM system. The results show that, compared to previously proposed configurations, the number of co-propagating channels can be doubled. At a fiber length of 25 km, 56 DWDM channels with a total launch power of 14.5 dBm are tolerated by the quantum channel.
