The visibility with 0.1 photon/pulse was more than 80% after 100 km transmission. This corresponds to the fidelity of a quantum cryptography system of more than 90% and a QBER of less than 10%, satisfying the security criteria.Submitted to Electronics Letters on May 16, 2003Quantum PhysicsSingle-photon interference experiment over 100 km for quantum cryptography system using a balanced gated-mode photon detectortext
