Chaotic Oscillator in Frequency by Using Tunable Laser with Fibre Bragg Grating

Abstract

A novel chaotic oscillator in wavelength domain by using a tunable fibre laser is proposed. The generator of chaos in wavelength is composed of fibre Bragg grating (FBG) with hybrid delayed feedback loop which induces wavelength nonlinearity. The dynamical regime of wavelength is ruled by a differential difference equation. We give the numerical simulation of the experimental setup and discuss its application in an optical encryption system.
