The influence of background light on satellite-to-ground free-space quantum key distribution (QKD) is investigated. By comparing the number of noise photons to that of the signal photons per pulse, the technical requirements for a practical system are evaluated. We show that satellite-to-ground QKD is feasible with currently available technology even under full moonlight.

- Feasibility of satellite quantum key distribution (2009, methodology): “We calculated the signal-to-noise ratio for the downlink using our results for the signal attenuation in a turbulent atmosphere and the noise parameters given in [20].”
- Progress in satellite quantum key distribution (2017, background): “In general, stray light can be minimized in optical systems with extensive baffling and optical blacking, however even after extensive filtering [58, 100], DV-QKD is likely to be a night-time activity for the near future [101, 102].”
