arXiv:2504.20696 · doi:10.1364/OFC.2024.W1H.6
Abstract
We demonstrate hierarchical multiscale PAM-4 transmission combining 500 Mbps data transfer with optical-layer cryptographic key distribution at rates 24.14 Mbps and 8.38 Mbps secure against passive eavesdropper advantage 0 dB and 6 dB respectively.
