Silica Planar Lightwave Circuit Based Integrated 1 $\times$ 4 Polarization Beam Splitter Module for Free-Space BB84 Quantum Key Distribution

We have developed an integrated polarization beam splitter (PBS) module with silica planar lightwave circuit technology for use in BB84 quantum key distribution (QKD). The PBS module is designed to operate on four linear polarizations of the horizontal/vertical/diagonal/antidiagonal direction, and s...
