16QAM OFDM-PON based on polar code and CCDM joint chaotic encryption

A new optical transmitting scheme based on chaotic constant component distribution matcher (CCDM) and Polar coding was proposed. The data is first encrypted by Polar coding using a five-dimensional chaotic sequence. Then the encrypted data is divided into two paths to perform chaotic CCDM encryption operations with different schemes. Finally, the two channels are merged, and the subcarriers are scrambled. The transmission experiment of 16QAM-OFDM signal on 2 km seven-core fiber is conducted to verify the scheme's feasibility. The experimental results show that the received optical power of all ONUs is less than −15dBm when the BER of all ONUs is reduced to less than 10 −3 . In addition, the key space of the proposed system reaches 10 85 , and the security performance is further enhanced. The advantages of BER and safety performance make this two-path chaotic encrypted OFDM-PON with an optimistic application prospect in the current optical transmission systems.
