Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to numerically investigate dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) transmission between a chaotic optical secure channel and a conventional fiber-optic channel. A secure message masked by the chaotic optical secure channel and a message sequence carried by the conventional fiber-optic channel can be realized simultaneously when the channel spacing is 0.8 nm. The results show that the -factors of the recovered messages can be increased significantly when the launched optical power is reduced appropriately. The deterioration of the quality of communication caused by fiber dispersion can be compensated noticeably on the condition that the symmetrical dispersion compensation scheme is adopted. In addition, the secure message is masked by chaos shift keying in the chaotic optical secure channel. The multiplexing distance between the chaotic optical secure channel and the conventional fiber-optic channel is up to 500 km.
