Spontaneous anti-Stokes Raman noise (SASRN) had been identified to cause performance degradation of a quantum key distribution (QKD) system. For a QKD system using 1550nm as classical channel and 1310nm for quantum channel, it will suffer from SASRN as the strong 1550nm signals will create broadband...
