Demonstration of 10 Gbps, all-optical encryption and decryption system utilizing SOA XOR logic gates

Abstract: An all-optical encryption system built on the basis of electrical logic circuit design principles is proposed, using semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) exclusive or (XOR) logic gates. Numerical techniques (steady-state and dynamic) were employed in a sequential manner to optimize the system parameters, speeding up the overall design process. The results from both numerical and experimental testbeds show that the encoding/decoding of the optical signal can be achieved at a 10 Gbps data rate with a convention… Show more

“…After defining MPD based spatial demodulation for optical communications, we design an all-optical hardware based symmetric-key cryptography system, for the first time, by exploiting only passive MPD design, without any software based decoding complexity. There are various all-optical encryption/decryption mechanisms utilizing symmetric or private-key based mechanism by using spectral shuffling [29] and all-optical logic gates [30], [31]. However, MPD based architecture is not exploited.…”

“…Use of optical logic gates (optical XOR gates) is central to the development of designing circuits which can ensure secure transmission of data. Optical communication at a speed of 10 GB/s using encryption and decryption circuits was demonstrated by Jung [2]. The security of optical signal relies mainly on the physical properties of the signal and not on the computational complexity as in software systems.…”
