Abstract

Another important application for optical secure communications is high-speed physical random number generations. Using outputs from chaotic semiconductor lasers, ultra-high-speed random number generations higher than several tens to hundreds GHz can be attained. The subjects related to the generations of high quality random bit sequences are studied. For the implementation of optical communications and random number generations, photonic integrated circuits as chaotic generators are also presented.
