Abstract

Secure 10 GSymbol/s, coherent QPSK system using dual encryption-key-based digital-domain symbol masking, and its 50 km SSMF transmission without CD compensation is experimentally demonstrated and achieved FEC limit (BER<3.8 × 10−3).

We propose two-bit-block to four-level phase shift-based symbol-masking at the post-symbol mapper, which can double the bit information amount of encryption key per symbol, and experimentally demonstrate a secure 10 Gsymbol/s QPSK system using a proposed symbol masking scheme.

We show in an experiment a covert transmission of QPSK and 64-QAM over up to 100km of SSMF, digitally encrypted with spectral phase mask, buried under ASE noise with negative -15 dB/0.1nm OSNR. We record a post-FEC error free BER for a stealthy channel, at 16 Gbps on a single polarization.
