Abstract
Physical layer secure key distribution (PLSKD) in fiber networks provides high-level security originating from the channel uniqueness, while the channel reciprocity is shared between the legal users via bidirectional transmission. To ensure the key consistency, perfect wideband bidirectional optical devices are required for high-speed PLSKD. Here, we propose and demonstrate a unidirectional PLSKD scheme, where the channel reciprocity is reproduced by neural networks (NNs) so that highly correlated key waveforms are generated and shared between the legal users. Experimental results show that an error-free key generation rate (KGR) of 3.8 Gb/s with excellent randomness is achieved for an 11-km standard single-mode fiber (SSMF) channel. The proposed scheme alleviates the stringent requirement of bidirectional channel transmission in high-speed PLSKD and enables the integration of PLSKD and data transmission in the same fiber channel.
