Chaos Encrypted Optical Communication System

Abstract In this article, we report on the research activity that has been recently carried out in Italy on secure transmission by using chaotic carriers in the framework of a national and two international projects. Transmission of both analog and digital signals has been demonstrated, as well as theoretically and numerically investigated. Close-loop digital transmission over 100 km distance has been achieved for the first time.
