Abstract
Integrating quantum key distribution (QKD) and classical optical communication for large-scale applications presents a significant challenge due to high cost and complexity. In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate the feasibility of simultaneous continuous-variable QKD (CV-QKD) and classical optical communication over a shared infrastructure. Through high-linearity modulators and detectors, we validated classical quadrature phase shift keying communication and CV-QKD protocol on a single platform by time-division multiplexing technology. Experimental results show that the classical communication achieved a bit rate of 200 Mbits/s, and the CV-QKD protocol achieved a secret key rate of 1.12 Mbits/s at 6 dB channel attenuation. This work reveals the feasibility of using a shared optical module to realize classical and quantum communication, leading to simplified integrating QKD and classical communication infrastructure.
