Abstract

We propose a novel chaotic constellation scrambling scheme for physical layer security enhancement and transmission performance improvement in coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CO-OFDM) system. A newly designed 3-D regular hexagon signal constellation is adopted, where both encryption dimensions are expanded and error performance is improved. The dynamic parameters of constellation scrambling are generated by the hybrid chaotic scheme that uses a combination of one 3-D hyper-chaotic Hénon mapping and two independent 1-D Logistic mappings, in which the achieved key space can reach up to 10 133 to enhance the security level of OFDM data encryption during transmission. Experimental verification of the proposed security-enhanced strategy is demonstrated in a 144 Gbps 16-quadrature-amplitude-modulation CO-OFDM system over 100-km standard single-mode fiber (SSMF). The experimental results prove that the proposed scheme could effectively enhance the system confidentiality and transmission performance, which suggests a scalable strategy for future physically secured CO-OFDM systems.
