Abstract
We demonstrate the flexibility that a wavelength selective switch could offer to
bandwidth provisioning of potential multi-user quantum key distribution networks based
on entangled pair sources. We derive an analytical expression relating the coincidence
detection rates of the photon pairs to the switch bandwidth characteristics.
Experimentally measured coincidence rates verify the theory in three distinct network
configurations.
