Chaotic soliton switching generation using a nonlinear micro ring resonator for secure packet switching use

Abstract

We propose a new design of the secure packet switching device using the nonlinear behaviors of soliton in a micro ring resonator, where the nonlinear penalty of light traveling in the device becomes beneficial. The chaotic signals are generated by a Kerr effects nonlinear type of the input soliton pulse in a micro ring resonator, where the control input power can be used to specify the output filtering signals. Some device parameters are chosen and simulated using the proposed model. The potential of using such a device for communication security is performed and discussed. For instance, the packet switching of the chaotic encoding data increases from the chaotic signal encoding of 100 bits-1. Results obtained have shown the potential of using such a proposed device for the tunable bandpass and band-stop filters, in which packet switching data can be performed and secured. © 2008 Elsevier GmbH.
