摘要： We propose a simple and all-optical method for fast random number generation based on the laser mode hopping. Through periodically restarting a two-mode laser operating in the bistable state, a random number stream can be generated due to the spontaneous emission noise. To validate the feasibility of this method, we perform a theoretical simulation using the common vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) with two polarization modes. Numerical results demonstrate that fast 2.5 Gb/s random number streams can be continuously obtained with verified randomness. This scheme provide a fully monolithic solution for random number generator, due to its simple and all-optical structure.
