Abstract
In this paper, we propose a 16x16 optical communication wavelength-switching network with quantum key distribution. We analyze the quantum ke distribution with considering the relationship betwee wavelength-switch bandwidth and distortion for 16x16 Dilated Benes optical wavelength-switching networks. We compare the performance of the quantum key distribution for wavelength-switching bandwidth in a 16x16 optical communication system, based on 2.5 Gbps, 10Gbps and 40Gbps, respectively.
