Abstract

A dual-ring erbium-doped fiber laser has nonlinear dynamic characteristics based on optical coupling interaction of lasing from the two laser rings and can send chaotic lasing to encode and mask an information to perform secure communication. Two independent groups of single-ring erbium-doped fiber lasers and a dual-ring erbium-doped fiber laser are used to construct two-channel chaos secure communication system while the synchronization’s physical mathematical model is presented by using the “active-passive” chaotic synchronization method, where a dual-ring erbium-doped fiber laser is used as a transmitter and two independent groups of single-ring erbium-doped fiber lasers are used as two receivers. Our numerical simulation shows that these two receivers can synchronize with the transmitter respectively. A two-channel chaotic hidden encoding secure communications with a modulation frequency of 10kHz analog signal and a rate of 20kbit/s digital signal are numerically simulated respectively, which shows to have good decoding quality and strong security. The obtained result shows that the chaotic coding system can be well applied in chaotic two channel secure communications. The research results have an important reference value for optical multi-channel secure communication and network security.
