Optical non-orthogonal multiple access based on amino acids and extended zigzag.

We propose a novel security-enhanced power division multiplexing (SPDM) optical non-orthogonal multiple access scheme in conjunction with seven-core optical fiber in this paper. This scheme could improve the security of data transmission at the physical layer and the split ratio of the access network, ensuring more users can be served at the same time. Additionally, multiple signals can be superimposed in the digital domain, leading to a significant improvement in spectral efficiency. We have further experimentally demonstrated the transmission of 47.25 Gb/s SPDM orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals in a 2 km seven-core fiber system. The experimental results confirm that our scheme can increase the number of access users by 14 times without influencing the privacy of different users. It is worth mentioning the signal encryption method based on amino acids combine with extended zigzag is proposed for the first time as we know. Meanwhile, the key space reaches 10, indicating that the data transmission process can be effectively protected from the attack of stealers. The proposed security-enhanced power division multiplexing space division multiplexing passive optical network (SPDM-SDM-PON) support multi-threading and multi-functions, showing a great potential to be applied in the future telecommunication systems.
