掺铒光纤中方波信号高次谐波的快慢光特性

光纤中方波信号的慢光技术在全光通信和光纤传感等领域具有重要的应用前景. 提出了谐波相对延时量的度量方法, 分别采用速率方程和相干布居振荡理论, 对掺铒光纤中方波信号的基波和高次谐波的快慢光特性进行了研究. 在无抽运光输入情况下, 改变入射光功率, 入射探测光的基波最大相对延时量能达到20%, 且存在实现最大相对延时量的入射光功率为8 mW; 在有抽运光输入的情况下, 改变信号光增益, 入射探测光的基波相对超前量同样能达到-20%, 且随着信号光增益的增大而增加. N次谐波(N=1, 3, 5, 7, …)在频率f/N(f为基波信号最大延时量对应的调制频率)处有最大相对延时量, 且它们的最大延时量相同, 频率处于相干布居振荡引起的光谱烧孔带宽内.     

Physical layer data encryption using two-level constellation masking in 3D-CAP-PON

A novel physical layer data encryption scheme using two-level constellation masking in three-dimensional(3D)carrier-less amplitude and phase modulation(CAP)passive optical network(PON)is proposed in this Letter.The chaotic sequence generated by Chua’s circuit model realizes two-level encryption of displacement masking and constellation rotation for3 D constellations.We successfully conduct an experiment demonstrating 8.7 Gb/s 3 D-CAP-8 data transmission over25 km standard single-mode fiber.With two-level constellation masking,a key space size of 2.1×1085 is achieved to bring about high security and good encryption performance,suggesting broad application prospects in future short-range secure communications.
