Abstract

A real-time 1.5-Gb/s Y-00 quantum stream cipher transmission for secure optical communication is experimentally demonstrated. An error-free (BER < 10-9) transmission of 4096-level intensity-modulation cipher signals is achieved in a dispersion-managed link over 1,000 km.

Transmission of Y-00 quantum cipher from transmitter using directly modulated DFB laser for secure access networks

Fumio Futami, Osamu Hirota

For purpose of realizing a compact transmitter of Y-00 quantum cipher, instead of an external modulator, a directly-modulated DFB laser is employed as EO converter. A 2.5-Gb/s Y-00 transmitter generating 4096-level intensity modulation signals is successfully applied to a transmission experiment, and error free (BER <; 10-9) transmission over 80 km is demonstrated. The transmission distance is limited by the loss of transmission fibers.
