Coexistence of Commercial CV-QKD in FOADM-based Metro Networks with Full or Partial C-Band Utilization
We assess the feasibility of deploying a commercial CV-QKD system over a 20 km amplified FOADM-based metro link, evaluating coexistence in both full and partial C-Band occupancy. Frequency allocation guidelines optimizing the performance of CV-QKD and classical channels are provided based on experiments and simulations. © 2025 The Author(s)
