Optical Encryption of Arrays of Binary Digits in Spatially Incoherent Light

Resumo

Optical encryption of arrays of binary digits in spatially incoherent light is experimentally implemented. Successful optical encryption and numerical decryption of images of binary arrays using a developed setup is demonstrated. Faultless decryption of arrays with normalized average energies (NAEs) up to 0.3 inclusive has been implemented. It is demonstrated that a decrease in the NAE of arrays to be encrypted leads to a decrease in the encryption error rate.
