Based on chaos synchronization between two 1550 nm response vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (R-VCSELs), we propose and numerically investigate a bidirectional dual-channel chaotic secure communication system. Under delayed dual-path chaotic signal injections from the injection VCSEL (I-VCSEL) with polarization-preserved optical feedback, a driving VCSEL (D-VCSEL) can generate an optimized chaotic signal, which can drive two R-VCSELs to output polarization-resolved chaotic signals with wide bandwidth about 35 GHz and low TDS below 0.1 in a relatively large parameter range. Moreover, high-quality isochronal chaos synchronization between the corresponding linear polarization components of two R-VCSELs can be achieved. In contrast, the synchronization quality between D-VCSEL and arbitrary one R-VCSEL is inferior. On this basis, through the polarization-division-multiplexing technique in conjunction with the chaos modulation (CM) method, this proposed system can realize security-enhanced bidirectional dual-channel message transmission of 30 Gbps bipolar non-return-to-zero signals over a 140 km fiber link with Q-factors above six. After adopting four-level pulse amplitude modulation, 60 Gbps signals can be successfully transmitted over a 60 km fiber link with Bit-Error-Rates (BERs) below the hard-decision forward error correction (HD-FEC) threshold of 3.8×10-3.

In this paper, we propose an all optical JK flip-flop system consisting of three vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers with embedded saturable absorber (VCSEL-SAs) is proposed and numerically simulated. Also, the effects of injection intensity, delay and noise on the JK flip-flop are numerically analyzed. The results show that, based on the spiking dynamics of excited VCSEL-SA, the proposed all-optical JK flip-flop model can perform all the fundamental functions of conventional JK flip-flop under suitable bias current, injection intensity and perturbation delay between two trigger signals. Moreover, the noise has a little effect on the performance of JK flip-flop, but the proposed system has good robustness to the noise. The results provide a feasibility for the application of VCSEL-SA devices in the future ultrafast neuromorphic computing systems.
We experimentally investigated multi-channel chaos synchronization characteristics based on two asymmetrical mutually coupled Weak-Resonant-Cavity Fabry-Perot Laser Diodes (WRC-FPLDs). Experimental results show that, through adjusting the center wavelength of the Tunable Optical Filter (TOF) and the injection power, different modes can be selected and induced into chaotic state with wideband. Under proper asymmetrical injection power and frequency detuning, stable leader-laggard chaos synchronization with the maximal correlation coefficient about 0.90 between two asymmetrical mutually coupled WRC-FPLDs can be achieved. In addition, the effects of injection power and frequency detuning between the two lasers on chaos synchronization performance have also been discussed.
We proposed a reconfigurable all-optical logic gate (AND, OR) based on a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser with saturated absorber (VCSEL-SA) subject to dual pulse injection and numerically investigated the effects of injection delay, injection strength and bias current on the system performance. The results show that, through adjusting bias current, the pulse injection strength and the injection delay between two pulses, the reconfigurable all-optical logic gate (AND, OR) can be realized. For a suitable injection intensity, all-optical logic AND and OR gates can be implemented within a certain bias current range. Moreover, both AND and OR gates have good robust to noise under suitable injection strength. These results are expected to open a new window for future ultra-fast neuromorphic computing systems to solve complex classification and decision-making tasks
In this paper, we propose and numerically demonstrate a security-enhanced high-speed chaotic communication system by introducing phase modulation and phase-to-intensity conversion. The driving laser (DL) with delayed optical feedback can be used to generate the chaotic driving signal, which is simultaneously injected into two response lasers (RLs) through a phase modulator (PM) and a dispersion component (De). The simulated results show that, due to the phase modulation and phase-tointensity conversion, TDS of injected chaos signal from DL can be effectively suppressed and its bandwidth can be increased to 39.6 GHz under suitable parameter conditions. Simultaneously injecting the chaos signal into two identical RLs, high-quality chaos signals with weakened TDS and enhanced bandwidth between two RLs can be achieved even under certain parameter mismatches, but the synchronization quality between DL and any one of RLs is extremely bad. Based on the system synchronization, secure transmission of 20 Gbit/s messages can be realized and the transmission distance can be over 200km.
In this work, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a scheme for generating fast physical random bits (PRBs). For such a scheme, the chaotic signal output from an optoelectronic delay loop (OEDL) pumped by a semiconductor laser (SL) under modulated optical feedback is utilized as the chaotic entropy resource, and the m least significant bits (m-LSBs) extraction and local XOR operation are selected as the post-processing methods. Firstly, through analyzing the influences of some typical parameters on the properties of the chaotic signal, the optimized parameter regions for achieving high quality chaotic signals with weak time-delay signatures and broad bandwidths are determined. Secondly, a high quality chaotic signal under optimized parameters is selected as a chaotic entropy resource, which is sampled and transferred to an original digital bit sequence by an 8-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) at a rate of 80 GS/s. Finally, through adopting the m least significant bits (m-LSBs) extraction and logical exclusive OR (XOR) operation to process the original digital bit sequence, a PRB at a rate up to 400 Gbits/s can be generated, which has passed all the NIST tests.
Based on vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) with optical injection and polarization-rotated optical feedback, we propose and numerically demonstrate a scheme for generating synchronized random bit sequences (SRBS) for two legal users at different locations. For the scheme, the chaotic signal generated by a driving VCSEL (D-VCSEL) subject to chaotic optical injection are utilized to simultaneously drive two VCSELs (A-VCSEL and B-VCSEL) with polarization-rotated feedback, then the chaotic outputs from A (B)-VCSEL are used as physical entropy sources to generate SRBS. The simulated results show that, the SRBS at a rate up to 400 Gbits/s can be achieved after adopting suitable post-processing method. The security of this scheme can be ensured by a high-quality synchronization between A-VCSEL and B-VCSEL while relatively low-quality synchronization between D-VCSEL and A (B)-VCSEL. Moreover, the BER and the randomness of generated SRBS are also discussed.
We propose a scheme for acquiring dual-channel physical random bits based on a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) under dual-path polarization-preserved chaotic optical injection (DP-PPOI). The injection chaotic light is generated by a master VCSEL (M-VCSEL), which is subjected to polarization-preserved optical feedback from a fiber Bragg grating (FBG). Under suitable operation parameters, the outputs of X polarization component (X-PC) and Y polarization component (Y-PC) in the M-VCSEL are chaotic signals with weak time-delay signatures (TDS), which are injected into another VCSEL (named as the slave VCSEL, S-VCSEL) via DP-PPOI. Through selecting the injection parameters, the X-PC and Y-PC in the S-VCSEL can simultaneously output chaotic signals with wide bandwidth and suppressed TDS, which are used as entropy sources for generating dual-channel random bits. The results demonstrate that the rates of generated dual-channel random bits can be up to 500 Gbits/s.
A bidirectional chaos communication system, composed of 1550nm semiconductor lasers (SLs) and fiber links, is
experimentally and numerically investigated. Based on the robust chaos synchronization between two authorized SLs,
0.5Gbits/s pseudo-random data bidirectional message transmission between the two SLs has been preliminarily realized
experimentally. Moreover, related theoretical simulations are also given, which basically conforms to our experimental
observations.
The dynamics of a semiconductor laser with delayed optoelectronic feedback are theoretically investigated when the
delay time is continuously varied. The results show that, for a fixed feedback time, the output dynamics state of the
semiconductor laser with delayed optoelectronic feedback is dependent on the continuous variation route of delay
feedback time; the bistability can be obtained for a given varying range of the delay feedback time. Further more, by
adding modulation signal, the characteristics of the bistability states become more complex, and some new types of
dynamic bistability states are observed.
In this paper, the influences of the external light injection on the chaotic carrier fundamental frequency of
vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) with optical feedback have been investigated. The results show that, for
the fixed frequency detuning between the master laser diode and the slave VCSEL, the chaotic carrier fundamental
frequency can be increased generally with the increase of injected strength; the chaotic carrier fundamental frequency
can be improved significantly by adjusting frequency offset and injected strength. For the normalized injected parameter
K is 330 and frequency detuning is 42GHz, chaotic output with 47.3GHz fundamental frequency can be obtained.
Based on the coupled mode theory by using the reversely recursive transmission matrix method, the switching
characteristics of the λ/4 phase-shifted fiber grating and the influence of introducing chirp on the switching
characteristics have been numerically studied when the reflection of the transmission facet is taken into consideration.
The results show: for coherent superposition reflection strengthening, it can reduce the threshold switching energy of the
λ/4 phase-shifted grating, but the switching contrast will decline; with the introduction of negative chirp in λ/4
phase-shifted grating, the switching contrast will be greatly improved, but the threshold switching energy will increase;
with the introduction of positive chirp in λ/4 phase-shifted grating, the switching threshold can be further reduced, but
the switching contrast will decline; and the hysteresis loop width will be influenced obviously by the introducing chirp.
