Article Abstract

Parallel generation of multi-channel chaos is critical to applications, and the key challenge is the simultaneous generation of broadband chaos with multiple channels and low correlation. Here, we experimentally demonstrate a parallel broadband chaos generation scheme using a single long-active-cavity Fabry-Perot (LC-FP) semiconductor laser under optical feedback. The active-cavity length is designed to be 1500 μm, so the power spectrum of chaos is expanded and flattened by the mode-beating effect. The experimental result shows that all-mode chaos with a bandwidth of 33.76 GHz and a spectrum flatness of ±2.5 dB is obtained. Furthermore, eight-channel chaotic signals with bandwidth larger than 27 GHz and correlation coefficients smaller than 0.1 are parallelly generated using optical filtering, where the spectrum flatness is about ±4 dB.

Vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) has received much attention due to its high modulation response bandwidth, two linear polarization modes, and easy integration. The fundamental characteristics of lasers can be observed by simple optical feedback. Here, we experimentally investigate the dynamical characteristics in a 1550-nm VCSEL subjected to mirror optical feedback.

This study analyzes entropy of broadband chaos excited in a semiconductor laser subject to intensity-modulated optical injection for random number generation with guaranteed unpredictability. It is identified that the flattening of spectral profile around the laser relaxation resonance blurs the periodicity it brings, and thus leads to a high entropy value and a high random number generation rate. The effect of measurement device noise on entropy suggests that both the power of chaos needs to be kept at a level to achieve an adequate signal-to-noise ratio, 24 dB or more, and the entropy contribution of the measurement device noise is excluded in order to assert entropy that can be extracted solely from the intrinsic property of chaos.

An approach to generating periodic spiking pulses in a broadband opto-electronic oscillator (OEO) without external injection is proposed and demonstrated. Through biasing the electro-optic Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) in the OEO cavity at its nonlinear working point, spiking pulses are excited by the self-generated chaos under the combined action of the loop filter response time and the nonlinear excitation effect. An interaction force is introduced between pulses.
