Abstract: A key distribution method based on broadband physical random sources includes: utilizing a driving semiconductor laser to generate an optical signal, passing the optical signal through a phase modulator driven by a random signal and then equally dividing the phase-modulated optical signal into two identical paths, injecting the two identical paths into slave semiconductor lasers at both communication parties Alice and Bob's sides, respectively, to generate initial synchronized signals, using the generated initial synchronized signals as driving signals to phase-modulate optical signals generated by continuous-wave (CW) light sources, and inputting the modulated optical signals to dispersion modules; wherein after the modulated CW optical signals pass through the dispersion modules, two synchronized broadband noise-like random signals are generated, and then high-speed synchronized keys are generated by a post-processing method.
