Abstract
A method includes receiving an outgoing data stream and dividing the outgoing data stream to generate multiple electromagnetic signals in multiple channels using a first manifold. The method also includes modifying at least some of the electromagnetic signals in at least some of the channels to generate scrambled electromagnetic signals. The method further includes combining the scrambled electromagnetic signals to generate one or more outgoing scrambled combined electromagnetic signals using a second manifold. In addition, the method includes transmitting the one or more outgoing scrambled combined electromagnetic signals. The outgoing data stream may include an outgoing optical data stream, and a photonic integrated circuit may divide the outgoing optical data stream and produce scrambled optical signals. The photonic integrated circuit may be configured to handle outgoing optical data streams having different protocols and/or different data rates.
