A new optical image cryptosystem based on two-beam coherent superposition and unequal modulus decomposition

Abstract In this paper, a new optical image cryptosystem is proposed based on two-beam coherent superposition and unequal modulus decomposition. Different from the equal modulus decomposition or unit vector decomposition, the proposed method applies common vector decomposition to accomplish encryption process. In the proposed method, the original image is firstly Fourier transformed and the complex function in spectrum domain will be obtained. The complex distribution is decomposed into two vector components with unequal amplitude and phase by the common vector decomposition method. Subsequently, the two components are modulated by two random phases and transformed from spectrum domain to spatial domain, and amplitude parts are extracted as encryption results and phase parts are extracted as private keys. The advantages of the proposed cryptosystem are: four different phase and amplitude information created by the method of common vector decomposition strengthens the security of the cryptosystem, and it fully solves the silhouette problem. Simulation results are presented to show the feasibility and the security of the proposed cryptosystem.
