Synchronization of spatiotemporal semiconductor lasers and its application in color image encryption

Optical chaos is a topic of current research characterized by high-dimensional nonlinearity which is attributed to the delay-induced dynamics, high bandwidth and easy modular implementation of optical feedback. In light of these facts, which add enough confusion and diffusion properties for secure communications, we explore the synchronization phenomena in spatiotemporal semiconductor laser systems. The novel system is used in a two-phase colored image encryption process. The high-dimensional chaotic attractor generated by the system produces a completely randomized chaotic time series, which is ideal in the secure encoding of messages. The scheme thus illustrated is a two-phase encryption method, which provides sufficiently high confusion and diffusion properties of chaotic cryptosystem employed with unique data sets of processed chaotic sequences. In this novel method of cryptography, the chaotic phase masks are represented as images using the chaotic sequences as the elements of the image. The scheme drastically permutes the positions of the picture elements. The next additional layer of security further alters the statistical information of the original image to a great extent along the three-color planes. The intermediate results during encryption demonstrate the infeasibility for an unauthorized user to decipher the cipher image. Exhaustive statistical tests conducted validate that the scheme is robust against noise and resistant to common attacks due to the double shield of encryption and the infinite dimensionality of the relevant system of partial differential equations.

Synchronization of chaotic erbium-doped fibre lasers and its application in secure communication

We have investigated the synchronization of chaotic dual-ring erbium-doped fibre lasers using the delay feedback－injection scheme. Numerical simulation shows that two chaotic dual-ring erbium-doped fibre lasers can be well synchronized if the strengths of delay feedback and injection are suitable. Even though the effects of the noises and the difference between the two lasers are considered, the twins can still reach good synchronization. Secure communication could be realized using the scheme of message-masking based on the synchronization of the chaotic dual-ring erbium-doped fibre lasers.

We present a method of chaos and its control in semiconductor laser based on sliding tunable dual-wedges. We numerically reveal the dynamics of chaos and its control in semiconductor lasers by changing the length of sliding tuneable dual-wedges. The results indicated that, with the appropriate changes of the length of sliding tuneable dual-wedge, the laser can be controlled into steady state, single-periodic, multi-periodic and even chaos respectively. The results also provide a new method to generate various period states in the chaos system.

Generation and synchronization of feedback-induced chaos in semiconductor ring lasers by injection-locking

A smart scheme for chaotic signal generation in a semiconductor ring laser (SRL) with optical feedback is proposed and investigated numerically. The chaotic oscillation in the SRL can be generated by the partial reflection of the laser output. Time series, attracter and the power spectrum, as well as the Lyapunov exponent spectrum, are calculated and analyzed. We also study the synchronization scheme of feedback-induced chaos in SRLs by optical injection that consists of a drive SRL with optical feedback and a response SRL with optical injection from the drive laser. High-quality synchronization is achieved with suitable injection strength and detuning frequency between the drive and the response SRLs.     

Chaos synchronization and encoding in coupled semiconductor lasers of multiple modulated time delays

We numerically investigate the synchronization performance of unidirectionally and bidirectionally coupled chaotic semiconductor lasers subject to multiple modulated time delays optical feedbacks. Moreover, by studying the autocorrelation function of the coherent feedback semiconductor laser output, we find that the signatures of time delays can be erased in systems incorporating modulated feedback time delays, which largely improve the system security. Finally, chaos masking switching (CMS) is utilized to examine the communication ability. Numerical results indicate that the messages could be successfully recovered both in unidirectionally and bidirectionally coupled lasers, which confirms the possibility of applying multiple modulated delay system in optical chaos secure communication.
