Routing, Core and Wavelength Allocation in Multi-Core-Fiber-Based Quantum-Key-Distribution-Enabled Optical Networks

Quantum-key-distribution (QKD) enabled optical networks can provide secure keys for different kinds of applications to ensure the high security of communication processes. As the number of wavelength channels in a single-core fiber is limited, space division multiplexing (SDM) has been considered to...
