RESUMEN
Significance: Optical imaging is a non-invasive imaging technology that utilizes near-infrared light, allows for the image reconstruction of optical properties like diffuse and absorption coefficients within the tissue. A recent trend is to use signal processing techniques or new light sources and expanding its application. Aim: We aim to develop the reflective optical imaging using the chaotic correlation technology with chaotic laser and optimize the quality and spatial resolution of reflective optical imaging. Approach: Scattering medium was measured using reflective configuration in different inhomogeneous regions to evaluate the performance of the imaging system. The accuracy of the recovered optical properties was investigated. The reconstruction errors of absorption coefficients and geometric centers were analyzed, and the feature metrics of the reconstructed images were evaluated. Results: We showed how chaotic correlation technology can be utilized for information extraction and image reconstruction. This means that a higher signal-to-noise ratio and image reconstruction of inhomogeneous phantoms under different scenarios successfully were achieved. Conclusions: This work highlights that the peak values of correlation of chaotic exhibit smaller reconstruction error and better reconstruction performance in optical imaging compared with reflective optical imaging with the continuous wave laser.

The reconstruction of the size, position, optical properties, and structure of the object in scattering media was realized with a chaotic fiber laser. The light from the chaotic fiber laser was split into two parts. One part was used as the detection signal to detect the object, and the other was used as the reference signal; then, the two signals were cross correlated. The attenuation of light in scattering media was attributed to scattering and absorption. The theoretical model of the peak value of cross correlation of the chaotic signals as projection data were established by the attenuation law, and the filtered back-projection algorithms were used to realize the image reconstruction. The mean squared error, the normalized mean squared error, the peak signal-to-noise ratio, and the structural similarity index of the reconstructed image were analyzed. The results show that the high resolution of the reconstructed image benefits from the high signal-to-noise ratio with the chaotic fiber laser based on a delta-like cross-correlation function.
RESUMEN
We experimentally and numerically demonstrate a route to bandwidth-enhanced chaos that is induced by an additional optical injection for a chaotic laser diode with optical feedback. The measured and calculated optical spectra consistently reveal that the mechanism of bandwidth enhancement is the interaction between the injection and chaotic laser field via beating. The bandwidth can be maximized only when the injected light is detuned into the edge of the optical spectrum of the chaotic laser field and the beating frequency exceeds the original bandwidth. The simulated dynamics maps indicate that 20 GHz broadband chaos can be obtained by commonly used laser diodes.
RESUMEN
Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) transmission of chaotic optical communication (COC) and conventional fiber-optic communication (CFOC) is numerically confirmed and analyzed. For an 80-km-long two-channel communication system, a 1-Gb/s secure message in COC channel and 10-Gb/s digital signal in CFOC channel are simultaneously achieved with 100 GHz channel spacing. Our numerical simulations demonstrate that the COC and CFOC can realize no-crosstalk transmission of 80 km when the peak power of CFOC channel is less than 8dBm. We also find that the crosstalk between COC and CFOC does not depend on channel spacing when the channel spacing exceeds 100GHz. Moreover, the crosstalk does not limit channel number by comparing the synchronization performance of COC in four- and six-channel WDM systems.
