Abstract

We experimentally demonstrate a 120-Gbit/s 16-QAM free-space optical link with enhanced physical layer security by co-propagating a “noise” channel with longitudinally tailored transverse beam profile. 20-dB signal-to-interference ratio difference can be achieved at different longitudinal locations.
