A quantum-chaotic encoding system using an erbium-doped fiber amplifier in a fiber ring resonator

This paper firstly presents a new concept of quantum-chaotic encoding of light traveling in a fiber optic ring resonator. The pumping input power can be controlled to generate the chaotic behavior of the circulated light within the fiber ring resonator. The Kerr nonlinear type of light circulating in a fiber optic ring resonator is induced and the superposition i.e. four-wave mixing of the propagating waves at resonance occurred. The output signals can be used to generate two different codes, of which one is the quantum bits i.e. code, the other is the chaotic signal i.e. code. The proposed system has shown the potential of using for communication security, where the double security via quantum-chaotic can be performed.
