Chaotic signal generation and coding using a nonlinear micro ring resonator

We propose a new digital encoding method using light pulses tracing in a micro ring resonator, where the randomly digital codes can be performed. The chaotic signals can be generated and formed by the logical pulses “1” or “0” by using the signal quantizing method, which can be randomly coded by controlling the specific optical input coupling powers, i.e. coupling coefficient (κ) and ring radii. Simulation results when the ring radius used is 10.0 μm, and the other selected parameters are close to the practical device values that are presented and discussed. The random codes can be generated by the random control of coupling powers, which can be transmitted and retrieved via the design filters by the specific clients. For instance, the controlled input power used is between 2.0 and 3.5 mW, whereas the quantizing threshold powers and the traveling roundtrips are 0.3-0.4 mW and 8000-10,000, respectively. In application, the required information can be generated, and the information can be securely transmitted in the public link.     

Digital Communication Using Multi-mode Chaotic Lasers

The digital communication in a system of two multi-mode solid state chaotic lasers is investigated theoretically. If the usual method working well in a single-mode laser system is applied to a multi-mode laser system, the memory effect of the two nearest digits can cause high rate of mistakes when the digits are decoded through the subtraction of receiver output from the transmittal. By introducing the deviations of two nearest maximum and minimum fluctuations of the signal to decode the digit, the message can be decoded correctly. Also, this communication method does not critically depend on the quality of the chaotic synchronization of the two multi-mode lasers.     

Bi-directional Secure Communication Based on Discrete Chaotic Synchronization

Discrete chaotic systems are used for bi-directional secure communication. Both sides of communication keep sending signals to achieve their synchronization, and then recover the messages. However, the third side without keys cannot get useful information. Known-plaintext attack is also engaged to analyze this method, and the simulation results show that the proposed method can reach high security performance.     

Chaotic direct sequence spread spectrum for secure underwater acoustic communication

Direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) has been widely used in underwater acoustic (UWA) communications. In DSSS communications, spreading sequence’s period and chip rate are important characteristic parameters. However, these characteristic parameters may be detected in hostile environments due to the periodic nature of spreading sequence and their well-known construction process. In this paper, a novel chaotic direct sequence spread spectrum (CD3S) method is proposed for secure UWA communications. In the CD3S communications, chaotic sequences acting as encryption keys are used to encrypt the phases of transmitted signals. Consequently, the application of chaotic sequences disguises these obvious characteristic parameters of spread spectrum (SS) signals. It is difficult for unauthorized users to detect or intercept CD3S signal without knowledge of corresponding chaotic sequences. Hence, CD3S signal has a lower probability of detection and interception. Moreover, CD3S can achieve similar bit error ratio (BER) performance compared with DSSS in actual UWA communications. Also, the receivers that are suitable for DSSS communication can also be applied to CD3S communication. Numerical simulations demonstrate its excellent performance and potential applications in confidential UWA communications.     

Chaotic modulations and performance analysis for digital underwater acoustic communications

Two modulation schemes, M-ary phase shift keying (MPSK) and M-ary frequency shift keying (MFSK), are commonly used for coherent and incoherent digital communications, respectively. Despite wide applications in underwater acoustic (UWA) communications, they are not suitable for confidential applications for their well-known generating processes and signal features. In this paper, two corresponding chaotic modulation methods are proposed to improve their security, namely chaotic MPSK (CMPSK) and chaotic MFSK (CMFSK). By application of chaotic sequences into the modulation procedures, they can prevent the unauthorized receivers from extracting information from the intercepted signals even with high SNR. The confidential performance of chaotic modulations is evaluated by a designed automatic modulation classification (AMC) system. Simulation results indicate a success identification rate of more than 90% for the MPSK and MFSK signal at the SNR from −10 dB to 40 dB, but only an identification rate of nearly zero for the CMPSK and CMFSK signal. Therefore, chaotic modulations have lower available probability and can achieve higher confidential performance. Also, an experiment was conducted to verify the performance of chaotic modulations in actual UWA communications. The experimental results show that chaotic modulations can achieve similar bit error ratio (BER) compared with conventional digital modulations, which verifies potential applications of chaotic modulations in confidential UWA communications.

Chaotic signal generation and cancellation using a micro ring resonator incorporating an optical add/drop multiplexer

We propose a new design of a chaotic signal generation and cancellation system using an all fiber optic scheme. A system consists of a standard diode laser, a fiber optic micro ring resonator, and an optical add/drop multiplexer. When light from the diode laser is input into the fiber ring resonator, the chaotic signal can be generated by using the selected fiber ring resonator parameters and the diode laser input power. The required signal is obtained in the transmission link via the add/drop device by a specific user at the drop port. Simulation results obtained have shown the potential of application, especially, when the practical ring radius is 10 μm with the optical input power is in the range of the communication standard diode laser, for instance, when the coupling coefficients of the add/drop device are κ₁ = 0.01 and κ₂ = 0.01–0.9. When the add port of the add/drop device is employed, such a system can also be utilized for the multi user applications.
