Chaos (Woodbury, N.Y.)·2025

Self-pulsating vertical-cavity lasers demonstrate vectorial chaos for secure data transmission. Phase modulation synchronizes total intensity while desynchronizing polarization modes for high-speed, secure communication.

Area of Science:

  • Optics and Photonics
  • Laser Physics
  • Nonlinear Dynamics

Background:

  • Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) are crucial optoelectronic devices.
  • Vectorial chaos in lasers involves complex dynamics in both intensity and polarization.
  • Synchronization of chaotic systems offers potential for secure communication.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate vectorial chaos in self-pulsating VCSELs.
  • To explore the synchronization of these chaotic lasers.
  • To propose a novel optical encryption scheme based on vectorial chaos.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing self-pulsating vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers.
  • Implementing a continuous control scheme with unidirectional coupling.
