1.6 Tbps Classical Channel Coexistence With DV-QKD Over Hollow Core Nested Antiresonant Nodeless Fibre (HC-NANF) (2106.14560v2)
Published 28 Jun 2021 in quant-ph, cs.SY, and eess.SY
Abstract: We demonstrate for the first time the coexistence of a quantum-channel and 8x200 Gpbs 16-QAM optical channels with launching powers as high as -9dBm per channel in a 2 km HC-NANF. Comparative analysis with single-mode fibre reveals that the quantum channel could not be sustained at such power levels.
