Abstract:
We assess the viability of CV-QKD system integration into amplified FOADM-based metro links deployed conforming to network operators standards, allowing fiber infrastructure sharing. Through experiments and simulations, we determine classical-channel power bounds and quantum-channel frequency allocation enabling QKD and full C-band DWDM channel coexistence.
