Abstract

Optical communications and their security have been got a great attention. In this work, a simple, low cost and secure optical system integrating orthogonal frequency division multiplexing-based passive optical network (OFDM-PON) and chaotic theory is proposed. In the proposed system, a novel scheme of quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) encryption method is adopted. For privacy of image and video encryption, the process of encryption consists of two processes and a 3D chaotic system is employed. The chaotic system is used to generate the encryption sequences. In the first stage, the first generated chaotic sequence is XORed with the incoming data. While in the second stage, the QAM symbol is remapped using the other two generated chaotic sequences. Generally, the proposed system is designed to provide secure data, videos, and images transmission. The proposed system is simulated and evaluated with a transmission of a 10 Gb/s along 50 km single-mode fiber (SMF). The performance of the proposed system showed that there is a performance enhancement in terms of Peak to average power ratio (PAPR) and bit error rate (BER). The BER of unauthorized user is around 0.6147, while the PAPR is reduced to approximately half. The proposed system is simple and doesn’t require complex computations. It requires simple analog multiplexers for its implementation.
