Enabling shortwave-QKD in short-reach networks: impact of a composite ODN native to telecom applications

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: We deploy shortwave-QKD over short-reach in-house/datacom architectures and show that few-mode propagation and speckle-selective loss severely impact the QKD performance. We accomplish 12 kb/s secure-key generation in the presence of 50 co-existing data channels.
