Book description
Starting with an introduction to the fundamental physics in chaotic
instabilities in laser systems, this comprehensive and unified reference
goes on to present the techniques and technology of synchronization of
chaos in coupled lasers, as well as the many applications to lasers and
optics, communications, security and information technology. Throughout,
it presents the current state of knowledge, including encoding/decoding
techniques, performance of chaotic communication systems, random number
generation, and novel communication technologies. Atsushi Uchida
received his Ph. D. degree in electrical engineering from Keio
University in Yokohama, Japan, in 2000. He is an associate professor at
the Department of Information and Computer Sciences at Saitama
University in Saitama, Japan, and is currently working on
synchronization of chaotic lasers, its applications for optical
communication, secure key generation with chaotic lasers, and random
number generation with chaotic lasers. Dr. Uchida is a member of the
Optical Society of America, IEEE Photonics Society, and American
Physical Society.
