    Abstract: A free-space optical signal receiver includes a plurality of detectors whose individual outputs are delayed to correct for variations in arrival time caused by aberration in the medium through which the optical signal propagates, and combined to provide a single output. Each of the plurality of detectors sense the free-space modulated optical signal and provide a detector signal representative of the modulation of the optical signal. Each detector signal is delayed by a delay value to generate a delayed signal, and each delay value is selected to correct for variation in arrival time of the optical signal at each of the detectors, resulting in the delayed signals being substantially time-aligned. The delayed signals are constructively combined into a combined signal representative of the modulation aspect, and the combined signal is provided as an output.

    Abstract: Aspects are generally directed to receivers and methods for optically demodulating optical signals. In one example, a receiver includes an optical resonator to receive an optical signal, the optical resonator including an optical medium interposed between first and second semi-reflective surfaces, where the first and second semi-reflective surfaces are positioned to resonate optical signal energy, and the optical resonator is configured to disrupt the optical signal energy resonance responsive to a variation in the received optical signal. The receiver may further include a probe source positioned to provide an optical probe beam to the optical medium, the optical medium being configured to interrupt the optical probe beam during the optical signal energy resonance and to transmit at least a portion of the optical probe beam in response to the disruption of the optical signal energy resonance, and a detector to detect the transmitted portion of the optical probe beam.

    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for chaotically generating a pseudorandom number sequence, such as for use in spread spectrum communications systems and in cryptographic systems. Chaotically generated pseudorandom numbers are not cyclostationary in nature, so output values encoded via such non-cyclostationary bases have no clear correlations. Spread signal communications systems using chaotically generated spreading codes thus operate without rate line artifacts, increasing their resistance to signal detection and to determinations of underlying signal chip rates and signal symbol rates. Broadcasts and guided transmissions (including either conductive wire or optical transmission media), in both radio frequency and optical systems are supported. Common spread spectrum communications systems including DSSS and FHSS may be strengthened through the use of chaotically generated spreading codes. Similarly, keys and nonces generated for cryptographic systems may be improved over those based on conventionally generated pseudorandom numbers.

    Abstract: Communication devices and a method of providing secure electronic content are general described. A plainmodulation containing user content is encrypted using a modulation key to form a ciphermodulation having a different magnitude and/or phase than the plainmodulation. Symbol representations of the plainmodulation and ciphermodulation in a QAM constellation are different. The ciphermodulation symbol representation is in a location non-coincident with an expected QAM constellation symbol. The symbol location of different plainmodulations when encypted using different modulation keys may be the same such that the corresponding ciphermodulation symbol representations are co-located. Different modulation keys are used for different plainmodulations, with a modulation key change occurring after transmission of a predetermined number of ciphermodulations and/or time. The modulation key and/or change is transmitted to enable coherent demodulation of the ciphermodulation to be performed. Multiple plainmodulations may be encrypted into a single ciphermodulation and/or a single plainmodulation may be encypted across multiple ciphermodulations.

    Abstract: Communication devices and a method of providing secure electronic content are general described. Content is encrypted using a time-invariant encryption algorithm on the binary bits and a time-varying baseband key encryption waveform with a time-varying phase or amplitude. The content is recovered using a waveform with a reference phase mixed with a reference LO signal or combining the waveform and content using an XOR to measure a change of the phase/amplitude of the received signal relative to the LO signal. The key for the time-invariant binary bit level encryption may be communicated on a different channel than the content prior to communication of the content or concurrently with the content. The phase/amplitude of the baseband key may vary after baseband waveform encryption of a predetermined number of symbols, independent of the time, or after a predetermined time independent of an amount of baseband signal encrypted.

    Abstract: A system for transmitting data using orthogonal mode division multiplexing (OMDM), a multiplexing method derived from the orbital angular momentum of photons. In one embodiment, a transmitter transmits multiple superimposed radio frequency (RF) beams each independently modulated with data, and each with a different orbital angular momentum rotational state. An OMDM receiver receives the different rotational states in separate communications channels. The OMDM states are substantially orthogonal, providing independent data channels for increased data capacity, and providing privacy.
