Abstract
The QKD transmitter, Alice (Fig. 1), consists of three diode lasers (a timing laser and two data lasers: one data laser transmits vertical polarized photons, |v〉 while the other transmits 45 degree polarized photons, |45〉〉, two matching interference filters (IFs), two optical attenuators, two linear polarizers, two nonpolarizing beamsplitters (BSs), a 27× beam expander, and a single-photon detector (SPD).
