Abstract
We investigate the coexistence of clock synchronization protocols with quantum signals propagating in a common optical single-mode fiber channel. By measuring optical forward and backward scattering noise in a range from 1510 nm to 1620 nm we demonstrate a potential for up to 100 quantum channels each with 100 GHz bandwidth coexisting with the classical synchronization signals using off-the-shelf optical components. Both “White Rabbit'' and a pulsed laser-based synchronization were characterized and compared.
