Co-Existence of Quantum-Key Distribution and Classical Transmission in Space-Division Multiplexed Fiber-Optic Systems: Modelling and Validation Over Field-Deployed Multi-Core Fibers
We propose an analytical model for inter-core spontaneous Raman scattering noise in multi-core fiber systems with co-existing quantum-key distribution and classical transmission in the C-band. The model is experimentally validated over field-deployed multi-core fibers.
