Concurrent performance and security enhancement of ultrahigh-order DSM signals via null subcarriers
In this paper, we propose leveraging null subcarriers in discrete multi-tone modulation (DMT) to process the DMT signal in both time and frequency domains. Additionally, we employ discrete memory enhanced chaos (DMEC) to scramble the signal in the frequency domain, thereby achieving physical layer signal encryption while ensuring a more uniform power distribution in the time-domain waveform. In our experimental demonstration, we achieved high-security transmission of a DSM-based 65536-QAM signal at a data rate of 16.01 Gb/s over a 25 km single-mode fiber (SMF) in an intensity-modulation direct-detection (IMDD) system. Additionally, in the transmission experiments for 13684-QAM and 65536-QAM signals, the proposed method demonstrated a receiver sensitivity gain of over 0.5 dB compared to the traditional DSM-based ultrahigh-order transmission.
