Abstract
Chaotic optical communication encrypts transmitted signals through physical noise; this ensures high security while causing a certain decrease in the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Thus, it is necessary to analyze the SNR degradation of decrypted signals after chaotic encryption and the minimum requirements for the SNR of the fiber channel to meet the required bit error rate (BER) performance. Accordingly, an SNR model of decrypted signals for optoelectronic feedback-based chaotic optical communication systems is proposed. Under different channel SNRs, the SNR degradation of 40 Gbit/s phase chaos and intensity chaos models is investigated by simulation and experiment, respectively, with a 15 GHz wideband chaotic carrier. Comparing decrypted signals with original signals, the simulation results show that there is a 2.9 dB SNR degradation for both intensity chaos and phase chaos. Further, in experiments, SNR degradation from 4.5 dB to 5.6 dB, with various channel SNRs for intensity chaos, is analyzed, while there is an SNR degradation from 7.1 dB to 8.3 dB for phase chaos. The simulation and experimental results provide guidance for long-distance transmission chaotic optical communication systems.
