In this work, we investigate the two-photon absorption (TPA)-based quantum-dot semiconductor optical amplifier (QD-SOA) to simulate the encryption and decryption. Optical logic gates and pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS) generators are realized using the TPA-based QD-SOA, and the encryption algorithm and key are based on these optical logic gates. The fast phase change due to the incorporation of TPA allows generation of keystream at high speed. Simulation results are carried out to show that encryption and decryption using PRBS based on optical logic gate are achievable.
