Abstract

We demonstrate numerically a secure communication scheme based on the synchronization of two chaotic laser diodes that are respectively subjected to incoherent optical feedback and incoherent optical injection. In this scheme, the optical fields emitted by the two lasers and the fields that are fed back and injected into these two lasers have orthogonal polarizations. Consequently, the external fields do not coherently interact with the lasing fields but only act on the population inversions. Synchronization of both lasers does not require fine tuning of their optical frequencies neither accurate control of the external cavity lengths contrary to the cryptographic systems based on conventional optical feedback. The message encoding/decoding is achieved by chaos shift keying.
