Abstract

After an outline of optical chaos generation and synchronization in semiconductor lasers, we discuss the fundamentals of optical secure transmission of data using chaotic carriers, based on different schemes, such as CM (Chaos masking) and CSK (Chaos Shift Keying). We present different versions of such schemes, which have been numerically evaluated and/or experimentally tested with discrete components or with a PIC (Photonic Integrated Circuit) realization of the crypto-systems. Finally, we outline some recent developments of the chaos secure transmission technique.
