Abstract
We report a weak-pulse implementation of SARG04 quantum cryptography protocol in free-space. The sifted key generation rate of 22k bit per second and quantum bit error rate of 4% have been demonstrated. We have also studied the long-distance capability of the QKD system by adding optical losses to the quantum channel.
