A Novel Optical Frequency-Hopping Scheme Based on a Flexible Structure for Secure Optical Communications

A novel optical frequency-hopping scheme based on a flexible structure for secure optical communications is proposed and demonstrated. In the proposed scheme, critical users’ data are divided into a lot of segments, and these segments are transmitted by different optical wavelengths in time domain. In other words, one channel optical carrier carries different users’ data segments. A flexible structure was demonstrated and used in optical frequency-hopping system to simplify the structure and decrease the cost of the security system. In this paper, the viability of a four-wavelength-frequency-hopping secure optical communication system with a 25-Gb/s error-free transmission through a 32-km single-mode fiber and a 8-km dispersion compensation fiber was demonstrated and verified by simulation tools.
