Abstract:A novel optical frequency-hopping (OFH) scheme using dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (DD-MZM) is proposed and demonstrated for secure transmission in fiber-optic networks. In the proposed scheme, by adjusting the phase difference between the radio frequency (RF) signals loaded on the two arms of the DD-MZM, and filtering the center carrier by fiber Bragg grating (FBG), thus the upper and lower output spectra can be realized randomly hop between the positive and negative firstorder sidebands and serve as carr… Show more
