Optimal lengths of sequences of random numbers generated by an optical generator based on two InGaAs pi-n photodiodes in a homodyne scheme

Abstract

The study of noise generated by a system homodyne detection of laser radiation was made when random noise is recorded at the outputs of anoptical beam splitter after differential detection of signals. We studied the dependence of noise parameters on the length of the signal sequence sample and the effect of detrending using wavelet analysis. The NIST test suite was used to evaluate the degree of randomness of the generated noise sequence.
