Effect and Compensation of Polarization-Dependent Loss in Free-Space Reference Frame Independent Quantum Key Distribution
Polarization-dependent loss (PDL) poses a critical challenge in implementing free-space quantum key distribution (QKD) systems. This study investigated the theoretical and experimental impact of PDL on polarization-encoded qubits and experimentally demonstrated a method to mitigate these effects. The proposed compensation method could effectively restore the integrity of polarization states, enhancing the robustness and security of QKD systems. Specifically, a secret key rate of 94.01% could be recovered with 5 dB PDL. This study contributes to advancing scalable and secure quantum communication technologies by addressing the critical issue of PDL in QKD systems.
