Abstract
In this paper, the theoretical model of spontaneous Raman scattering (SpRS) in few-mode fiber (FMF) is discussed. The influence of SpRS on quantum key distribution (QKD) in FMF is evaluated by combining wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) and space division multiplexing (SDM) techniques. On this basis, an improved ring-assisted FMF is designed and characterized; the transmission distance can be increased by up to 54.5% when choosing different multi-channels. The effects of forward and backward SpRS on QKD are also discussed.
