Experiment on 10-Gb/s message transmission using an all-optical chaotic secure communication system

We experimentally demonstrate 10-Gb/s message transmission using an all-optical chaotic secure communication system. In this system, a semiconductor laser subject to mirror optical feedback, operating under a high bias current, is employed as the transmitter. Owing to the high bias current, the transmitter’s relaxation oscillation frequency is greatly increased, and consequently, the carrier bandwidth of the transmitted message is also enhanced....
