Simplified Polarization-Encoding for BB84 QKD Sourced by Incoherent Light of a Silicon Emitter
Abstract
We investigate a polarization-encoded BB84-QKD transmitter that is simplified from an architectural and technological point-of-view, demonstrating a silicon emitter sourcing a low-complexity polarization modulator for secure-key generation at a raw-key rate of 2.8kb/s and QBER of 10.47%, underpinning the feasibility of an all-silicon QKD transmitter.
