Coexistence of 11.2Tb/s Carrier-Grade Classical Channels and a DV-QKD Channel over a 7-Core Multicore Fibre
arXiv:1907.01459
Abstract
We successfully demonstrate coexistence of record-high 11.2 Tb/s (56x200Gb/s) classical channels with a discrete-variable-QKD channel over a multicore fibre. Continuous secret key generation is confirmed together with classical channel performance below the SDFEC limit and a minimum quantum channel spacing of 17nm in the C-band.
