AbstractClassical optical communications may be still the main communications technology for the foreseeable future, so integration of the quantum communication network with existing classical optical communication network is necessary because existing telecommunications infrastructure will be shared. This means multiplexing of quantum key distribution (QKD) and strong classical data signals, delivering quantum signals and classic signals in one fiber. Optical splitters are employed to access each user in a gigabit-capable passive optical network (GPON). In a 4-user network the splitter adds at least 6 dB of optical loss to the quantum channel, a 64-user network the splitter adds 18 dB of optical loss to the quantum channel. The optical splitters restrict the transmission distance and performance of QKD. We propose a new integration program of QKD and GPON based on wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM). At the optical splitting point, we use filters to separate the quantum signals and bypass the optical splitter, avoiding losses produced by the optical splitters. This increases the counting rate of the quantum signals states and the signal to noise ratio (SNR) improves, so a higher key generation rate and a longer transmission distance can be obtained with QKD.
