Nullified time-of-flight lead-lag in synchronization of chaotic external-cavity laser diodes

Synchronization of three chaotic diode lasers is effected in a transmitter-mediator-receiver configuration. The transmitter laser's output is bidirectionally coupled to the mediator laser to achieve anticipating synchronization in their output intensities. The mediator laser's output is unidirectionally coupled to the receiver laser to achieve lag synchronization in their output intensities. This combination of lead and lag synchronization nullifies the time-of-flight lead-lag in synchronization between the transmitter and receiver lasers. This approach provides a means of eliminating time-of-flight delays in the synchronization of remote transmitters and receivers.

Synchronization of chaos in unidirectionally coupled vertical-cavity surface-emitting semiconductor lasers

Synchronization of chaos is achieved experimentally in unidirectionally coupled external-cavity vertical-cavity surface-emitting semiconductor lasers operating in an open-loop regime. Synchronization is observed when the polarization of the transmitter is perpendicular to the polarization (x polarization) of the free-running receiver. The ratio of transmitter output to y-polarized receiver output power shows normal (positive-slope) synchronization. However, inverse (negative-slope) synchronization is found to arise between the transmitter output and the x-polarized receiver output power.     

Wavelength synchronization technology for UDWDM-PON transmitter based on injection locking

We propose a concept of wavelength synchronization to ensure the stability of ultra-dense channels in an ultra-dense wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network(UDWDM-PON)transmitter.A mode-locked laser is used to provide wavelength references for users.By injection locking the semiconductor laser,the separation of the wavelength reference is realized in an optical line terminal.The downlink and uplink wavelength references are interlaced and distributed to facilitate the synchronization of uplink carriers.In the optical network unit,the uplink optical carriers are filtered by injection locking semiconductor lasers,which achieve wavelength synchronization for the uplink users.In this Letter,an adaptive wavelength synchronization transmitter for UDWDM-PON is realized with a channel spacing of 5 GHz.     

Bandwidth-enhanced chaos synchronization in strongly injection-locked semiconductor lasers with optical feedback

Bandwidth-enhanced chaos synchronization in strongly injection-locked semiconductor lasers with optical feedback is numerically studied based on laser rate equations. The bandwidth of the chaotic carrier frequency in a semiconductor laser with optical feedback is expanded roughly three times by strong optical injection compared with the bandwidth when there is no optical injection. Using a bandwidth-enhanced semiconductor laser as a chaotic transmitter and receiver, we synchronized transmitter and the receiver lasers in a complete chaos synchronization scheme.     

Experimental demonstration of anticipating synchronization in chaotic semiconductor lasers with optical feedback

We report the first experimental observation of anticipating chaotic synchronization in an optical system using two diode lasers as transmitter and receiver. The transmitter laser is rendered chaotic by application of an optical feedback in an external-cavity configuration. It is found that the anticipation time does not depend on the external-cavity round trip time of the transmitter.     

Chaotic on off keying for secure communications

We experimentally demonstrate a chaotic on-off keying method for secure communications by using chaos synchronization in two microchip lasers. The output of the microchip laser in the transmitter is externally modulated with an acousto-optic modulator at ~4 MHz . One encodes a digital message in the chaotic carrier by turning the modulation on and off at 100 kHz. Because the accuracy of synchronization for the slave laser in the receiver tends to be degraded in the presence of external modulation in the injection laser signal, one can distinguish two binary states. The digital message can be recovered as an envelope of the chaotic oscillation when the difference between the two laser outputs of the transmitter and the receiver is calculated.     

Stable route-tracking synchronization between two chaotically pulsing semiconductor lasers

Stable route-tracking synchronization is experimentally demonstrated in two semiconductor lasers with delayed optoelectronic feedback. When the two lasers are stably synchronized, the receiver laser is observed to track the route to chaotic pulsing of the transmitter laser. The stability of the route-tracking synchronization is examined by calculation of the transverse Lyapunov exponents of the coupled system.     

Chaos communication based on synchronization of discrete-time chaotic systems

Further, we present a multiple-access chaotic digital communication method by combining the observer with the on-line least square method. Simulation results are also given for illustration.

Study of the Time of Unambiguous Transition to the Carrier Phase During Automatic Timescale Control Using Measurements in a Meteor-Burst Radio Channel

In this paper, we consider the possibilities of resolving ambiguity of the phase measurements at the carrier frequency in a multifrequency meteor-burst synchronization system. To estimate the ambiguity-resolution errors, an optimal linear filtering is used. Statistical parameters are obtained with the use of a computer model. The results can be used for choosing such parameters of the meteor-burst synchronization system as frequency band and transmitter power for the specified synchronization accuracy.     

Hidden data transmission using generalized synchronization in the presence of noise

A way of data transmission using generalized chaotic synchronization is suggested. Since the characteristics of the valid signal are corrected by a noise generator with desired parameters, this way of data transmission offers a high degree of reliability. It is shown that noise in the method of generalized synchronization improves the privacy of the transmitted data. The basic ideas of the method are illustrated with unidirectionally coupled Ressler systems used as oscillators on the transmitter and receiver sides.

Synchronization of the time—varying parameter chaotic system and its application to secure communication

In this paper we propose and investigate the synchronization of a new chaotic model with time-varying parameters and apply it to improve the security of chaotic communication. In this model, the chaotic system is modulated by both the message and the varying parameters. The varying parameters distort the phase space so heavily that they prevent the carrier from being broken by nonlinear dynamic forecasting method. Theory and simulation experiments with speech signal communication indicate that the receiver can gain a perfect synchronization with the transmitter, and the intruder cannot break down this communication system. We also discuss the robustness of the new communication system.

Parameter adaptation technique for rapid synchronization and secure communication

An effort is made here to show how parameter adaptation can be used for achieving rapid synchronization between two chaotic systems in a time much smaller than the time scale of chaotic oscillations. This rapid synchronization can be used for faster and more secure communication of digital messages. Different symbols of the message are coded by assigning different values to a parameter set. At the receiving end the parameter values quickly adapt to the changing transmitter parameters, thereby permitting the messages to be decoded. The technique presented here is significantly more secure compared to other similar schemes because in our scheme the transmitting parameters change so rapidly that an intruder cannot infer any information about the attractors corresponding to the different parameter values. Another feature, which enhances security, is that a subsystem of the transmitter can be changed, without having to convey this information to the bona fide recipient. Thus for the same plaintext and the same key, several different cipher-texts can be generated. Further, the variables, whose evolution equations contain the coding parameters, are not transmitted.     

1.5-GHz message transmission based on synchronization of chaos in semiconductor lasers

Sinusoidal message transmission up to 1.5 GHz is performed based on synchronization of chaos in experimental nonlinear systems of semiconductor lasers with optical feedback. In the chaotic systems the message is almost entirely suppressed in the receiver output, even if the message has nonnegligible power in the transmitter.     

Experimental verification of anticipated and retarded synchronization in chaotic semiconductor lasers

Experimental observation of both anticipated and retarded synchronization is demonstrated using unidirectionally coupled semiconductor lasers with delayed optoelectronic feedback. Depending on the difference between the transmission time and the feedback delay time, the lasers fall into either the anticipated or the retarded synchronization regime, where the driven receiver laser leads or lags behind the driving transmitter laser. The two regimes are observed to have the same stability of chaos synchronization in the presence of small perturbations by noise and parameter mismatches. In both regimes the observed time shift between the synchronized chaotic waveforms is found to be equal to the difference between the transmission time and the feedback delay time.
