Modeling and Experimental Assessment of QKD Systems in Coexistence with QKD-Encrypted High-Capacity DWDM Transmission
We experimentally validated a design tool for optimizing integrated quantum-classical communication links with Raman flux measurements. We assessed commercial QKD system performance co-propagating with multiple coherent classical channels over 40- and 70-km fibers.
