Abstract
En 中文
Since the working conditions of classical and quantum signals are very different, how to effectively integrate classical and quantum communication networks without affecting their respective performance has become a great challenge. In this paper, we proposed a scheme to realize classical communication and continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD) based on frequency-division multiplexing (FDM), and we verified the feasibility of simultaneously realizing CV-QKD and classical optical communication data synchronous transmission scheme under the same infrastructure. We achieved a 0 bit error rate in 50 frames and a 20 Mb/s bit rate for the classical signal and an average secret key rate of around 5.86 x 105 bit/s for the quantum signal through a 4 dB fiber channel. This work provides a scheme to establish a QKD channel by only reserving a small passband in the entire optical communication instead of an entire wavelength, increasing efficiency and simplifying the integration of QKD and classical communication.
