The present invention discloses an
optical communication system and method based on amplitude-phase dual-dimensional
chaotic encryption. In this
system, light from a first
laser is coupled with an optical
signal through a Mach-Zehnder modulator and an
optical coupler, and then split into two beams. One beam passes through a
delay line, etc., and then enters the Mach-Zehnder modulator; the other beam is injected into a phase modulator. Light from a fifth
laser is split into two beams by a third
optical coupler, one of which passes through a reflector. The other beam is split into two beams by a fourth
optical coupler, one of which is used for channel transmission; the other beam passes through a first
circulator, etc., and then enters the first phase modulator. After channel transmission, the light passes through the
circulator, etc., and then enters the phase modulator. The other beam passes through the phase modulator and optical coupler, splitting into two beams. One beam is connected to an optical mixer; the other beam passes through a second
delay line, etc., and then enters a second Mach-Zehnder modulator. Light from a second
laser passes through the second Mach-Zehnder modulator and then enters the optical mixer. Decryption is achieved through coherent detection.
