Parallel high-speed random bit generation based on wideband chaotic microcomb and wavelet high-pass filtering

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a parallel ultra-fast random bit generation (RBG) scheme based on wideband chaotic microcomb, which utilizes a phase modulation and dispersive component broadening spectrum. The effective bandwidth of each comb tooth is increased by over 10-fold. Wavelet high-pass filtering (WHPF) is employed to make the probability density functions (PDFs) of the chaotic signal's amplitude unbiased, achieving high symmetry with a skewness coefficient |S| of 0.0026, and the RBG rate of a single channel reaches 200 Gbps. Furthermore, the autocorrelation properties of the random sequences from each comb tooth and the cross-correlation properties between different comb teeth are analyzed, confirming both true randomness and orthogonality. This scheme can simultaneously generate dozens of wideband chaotic combs in the wavelength range of 1500-1600 nm.
