Abstract

Use of acousto-optic (A-O) chaos via the feedback loop in a Bragg cell for signal encryption began as a conceptual demonstration around 2008. Radio frequency (RF) chaos from a hybrid A-O feedback device may be used for secure communications of analog and digital signals. In this paper, modulation of RF chaos via first-order feedback is discussed with results corroborated by nonlinear dynamics, bifurcation maps, and Lyapunov analyses. Applications based on encryption with profiled optical beams, and extended to medical and embedded steganographic data, and video signals are discussed. It is shown that the resulting encryption is significantly robust with key tolerances potentially less than 0.1%. Results are also presented for the use of chaotic encryption for image restoration during propagation through atmospheric turbulence.
