High-Speed Random Bit Generation via Brillouin Random Fiber Laser With Non-Uniform Fibers

Song Gao, Liang Zhang, Yanping Xu +2 more

A bidirectional pumping Brillouin random fiber laser based on a non-uniform fiber is proposed and demonstrated for truly random number generation with enhanced bit rate. Numerical simulation indicates that, thanks to the unique distributed Brillouin gain profile along the non-uniform fiber, random lasing oscillation within a broadband Brillouin gain can be established by the mutual effect of Brillouin scattering and enhanced Rayleigh scattering, providing physical entropy source for truly random number generation. The poof-of-concept experiments demonstrate a truly random number with a bit rate of 71 Mbps, which significantly breaks through the limitation of the intrinsic Brillouin bandwidth (~10 MHz) in communication fibers.
