Abstract
In conventional interference-based optical encryption schemes, a potential cracker can retrieve partial information (silhouette) of the secret image using only one phase-only mask (POM). We resolve this drawback using a phase-blend operation and piecewise linear chaotic map (PWLCM) to further encode the POMs. One cannot recover a secret image visibly when inverse phase-blend operation and inverse chaotic permutation are not carried out with the correct decryption keys. Chaotic parameters of PWLCM, and random phase-angle function in the phase-blend operation enlarge the key space and improve the security of the proposed system greatly. Numerical simulations and optoelectronic experiments are performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
