相位共轭光反馈下半导体环形激光器的动力学

利用双模行波模型,数值研究了半导体环形激光器(SRL)在相位共轭交叉光反馈下的非线性动力学特性.研究发现,当两个模式的相位变化不同步时,SRL表现出低频反相振荡,其振荡周期随着反馈时间的增大逐渐增加.而对于相位变化同步的情况,通过改变注入强度,SRL可输出单周期态、多周期态和混沌态.利用自相关函数识别了产生的混沌信号的时延特征(TDS)并利用功率谱技术计算了相应的带宽,发现TDS随着反馈强度的增加先逐渐减小再增大,而带宽随着反馈强度的增加呈近似线性增加.这说明通过恰当调节反馈强度,混沌信号的TDS可以被较好地抑制,该信号可应用于安全保密通信和随机数产生中.

奇偶反馈相位共轭腔垂直腔面发射激光器非线性系统的理论研究

针对垂直腔面发射激光器(VCSEL)与相位共轭镜(PCM)这一弱耦合系统,同时考虑到相位共轭镜奇次反馈产生共轭光,偶次反馈产生常规光这一不同于普通平面镜的奇偶效应,构建非即变相位共轭镜奇偶分开的多次反馈理论模型,对多次相位共轭反馈(PCF)下垂直腔面发射激光器非线性动力学行为进行了数值模拟。结果表明,由于引入了奇偶两种不同反馈类型,高次相位共轭镜反馈可明显改变垂直腔面发射激光器的输出动态,即使在弱反馈条件下也如此,而其对稳态特性的影响却恰恰相反。与只考虑一次反馈相比,考虑多次反馈后,弱反馈引起的系统不稳定明显被抑制,混沌区域变小并代之以稳定的倍周期态;而强反馈时,一次反馈对应的从混沌到三分岔的非线性演变方式,在二、三次反馈时分别变成了从倍周期到混沌和从准周期到混沌的演变过程。

Characteristics of Fast Physical Random Bit Generation Using Chaotic Semiconductor Lasers

We investigate the characteristics of fast random bit generation using chaotic semiconductor lasers. The optical amplitudes of two lasers with chaotic oscillations induced by optical feedback are each sampled at a fixed rate to extract binary bit sequences which are then combined by an exclusive-OR operation to obtain a single random bit sequence. Bit sequences generated at rate of 1 Giga bit per second are verified to pass statistical tests of randomness. We describe the dependence of randomness on laser parameters, in particular the injection current, the external cavity length and the feedback strength. The results provide clear empirical guidelines for tuning the chaotic laser parameters to achieve random bit sequences. This study shows that chaotic laser devices can be fast and reliable sources of physical entropy for computing and communication applications.      

Synchronization and communication using semiconductor lasers withoptoelectronic feedback

Semiconductor lasers provide an excellent opportunity for communication using chaotic waveforms. We discuss the characteristics and the synchronization of two semiconductor lasers with optoelectronic feedback. The systems exhibit broadband chaotic intensity oscillations whose dynamical dimension generally increases with the time delay in the feedback loop. We explore the robustness of this synchronization with parameter mismatch in the lasers, with mismatch in the optoelectronic feedback delay, and with the strength of the coupling between the systems. Synchronization is robust to mismatches between the intrinsic parameters of the lasers, but it is sensitive to mismatches of the time delay in the transmitter and receiver feedback loops. An open-loop receiver configuration is suggested, eliminating feedback delay mismatch issues. Communication strategies for arbitrary amplitude of modulation onto the chaotic signals are discussed, and the bit-error rate for one such scheme is evaluated as a function of noise in the optical channel

Modulation Bandwidth Enhancement in Optical Injection-Locked Semiconductor Ring Laser

The modulation bandwidth of a optical injection-locked (OIL) master–slave configuration using a semiconductor ring laser (SRL) as the slave laser is investigated. The modulation bandwidth depends on the detuning frequency, input optical power into the slave SRL, and the bias current to the SRL in the master–slave configuration. Modulation bandwidth of $> $40 GHz has been achieved when modulating the master laser, in contrast to the 15-GHz modulation bandwidth of the free-running SRL. The unidirectional operation of the SRL as a slave laser allows monolithic integration of such OIL scheme as it produces little feedback to the master laser.      

Dynamics in a compound cavity semiconductor laser induced by smallexternal-cavity-length change

For the short-range variations of the external cavity length, the dynamic behaviors of a semiconductor laser with optical feedback are investigated by the numerical simulations and experiments. Under the condition of a single-mode oscillation, the laser output power shows periodic undulation along the external cavity length whose period is equal to half of the optical wavelength. At weak to moderate external optical feedback, stable, periodic, quasi-periodic, and chaotic oscillations of the laser output power are observed within the periodic undulation. Experimental results of periodic and quasi-periodic oscillations obtained by the laser output power and the optical spectrum support the predictions from the numerical analysis based on the rate equations     

Research on image encryption based on Erbium-doped fiber laser system with optical delay feedback

A novel image encryption algorithm that based on Erbium-doped fiber laser with an optical delay feedback (ODF-EDFL) system is proposed in this paper. First, by the dynamic analysis of this system, two different chaotic sequences are generated. Meanwhile, the statistic characteristic is verified on this chaotic sequence. On this basis, the image encryption algorithm is designed by using this chaotic sequence: the gray value of the original image is substituted with the chaotic sequence at beginning; then the space array of the image's pixel is mixed up by using both two chaotic sequences. The experimental results show that the proposed method can encrypt digital images quickly and effectively.     

Dynamic Switching Response of Semiconductor Ring Lasers to NRZ and RZ Injection Signals

Dynamic response of semiconductor ring lasers (SRLs) to external optical injection with nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) and return-to-zero (RZ) waveforms is investigated using a model including linear and nonlinear mode coupling. The switching characteristics are simulated under various device sizes, injection power levels, and frequency detuning. For NRZ, the switching time reduces with decreasing SRL radius, which has a reasonable agreement with the current experimental results. It is also demonstrated that RZ pulse with duration of several picoseconds can reliably switch 6-mum radius SRL over a detuning range of more than 100 GHz, with the end state self-sustained after switching.
