Abstract / Description of output

In this paper, a free-space quantum key distribution (QKD) system based on BB84 protocol is studied assuming that the transmitted quantum bits are multiplexed spatially based on orthogonal orbital angular momentum (OAM) carrying beams. The performance of such a system is estimated in terms of quantum bit error rate, outage capacity, and effective data rate taking into account the impact of error correction and privacy amplification. Based on the simulation of OAM-carrying beam propagating through atmospheric channels impaired by turbulence, the crosstalk among the multiplexed channels are investigated and its effect on the performance of the QKD system is evaluated. The presented results provide insight into the efficient design of such multiplexed QKD systems particularly in terms of the choice of the optimal average photon number per pulse and the multiplexing mode set.
