High-security space division multiplexing optical transmission scheme based on constellation grid selective twisting.

In this paper, we propose a high-security space division multiplexing optical transmission scheme based on constellation grid selective twisting, which adopts the Rossler chaos model for encrypting PDM-16QAM signals, being applied to a multicore, few-mode multiplexing system. The bitstream of the program is passed through XOR function before performing constellation grid selective twisting and rotation of the constellation map to improve the security of the system. The proposed system is verified experimentally by using 80-wave and 4-mode multiplexing in one of the 19-core 4-mode fibers. Based on the proposed encryption method, a net transmission rate of 34.13 Tbit/s, a transmission distance of 6000 km, and a capacity distance product of 204.8 Pb/s × km is achieved under encrypted PDM-QPSK modulation. Likewise, a net transmission rate of 68.27 Tbit/s, a transmission distance of 1000 km, and a capacity distance product of 68.27 Pb/s × km is achieved based on encrypted PDM-16QAM modulation. It is experimentally verified that the sensitivity of the initial value in Rossler's chaotic model is in the range of 10-16∼10-17. Meanwhile, the proposed encryption scheme achieves a large key space of 10101, which is compatible with the high-capacity distance product multicore and few-mode multiplexing system. It is a promising candidate for the next-generation highly-secured high-capacity transmission system.

High-security three-dimensional optical transmission mechanism utilizing time-frequency-space interleaving disruption.

In this paper, we propose a high-security three-dimensional optical transmission system utilizing time-frequency-space interleaving chaos, which simultaneously enhances the reliability and security of the system. The four-wing 3D chaos model encrypts the time-frequency space interleaved modulation domain of a orthogonal time-frequency space (OTFS) modulation signal and the modulated phase information simultaneously, improving the system's security. We also experimentally validate the proposed high-security 3D-OTFS method, utilizing the hexadecimal modulation technique. The modulated OTFS signal achieves a transmission rate of 34.1 Gb/s over a 2-km seven-core fiber link, with the OTFS signal exhibiting a maximum of 1.31 dB receiver sensitivity gain compared to orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals under the forward error correction threshold of the bit error rate. The achieved keyspace is equal to 5 × 1048. The findings demonstrate that the proposed high-security three-dimensional optical transmission mechanism, based on time-frequency-space interleaved disruption, exhibits excellent anti-interference ability and confidentiality performance. Consequently, it holds promising prospects for future applications in optical communications.

High-security and low-complexity OCDM transmission scheme based on GAN enhanced chaotic encryption.

We report a low-complexity and high-security orthogonal chirp division multiplexing (OCDM) transmission scheme based on generative adversarial networks (GAN) enhanced chaotic encryption. Our investigation focuses on the security and efficiency of the communication system. To successfully apply GAN for the encryption scheme, we design our networks with new network architectures and modify the loss functions to improve the adversarial training performance of the networks. In the experiment, a weakly coupled seven cores fiber of 2 km was applied to achieve a 70 Gb/s transmission system. The results reveal that our proposed scheme has a maximum receiver sensitivity gain of about 1.26dB than traditional OFDM transmission system, and our encryption scheme has a large keyspace at about 1 × 10202 against brute force cracking by illegal optical network units with only 0.63% running time compared with the traditional chaotic scheme. The results highlight that the proposed encryption scheme has a remarkable reduction in complexity and improvement in security, which is a promising candidate for next-generation PONs.
