英文摘要：

Absolutely secure communication should be implemented only through the ‘one-time pad’ proposed by Shannon,requires that physical random numbers with rates matched with the associated communication systems be used as secret keys.With the wide application of the WDM technology in optical communication,the single channel rate of the current digital communication system has exceeded 10 Gb/s and developed towards 100 Gb/s.To ensure the absolute security of such a large capacity communication,a large number of real-time,and secure random numbers are needed.Secure random numbers are commonly produced through utilizing physical random phenomena,called physical random number generators.However,conventional physical random number generators are limited by the low bandwidth of the applied entropy sources such as thermal noise,photon-counting and chaotic electrical circuits,and thus have typical low bit rates of the order of Mb/s.In recent years,chaotic lasers attracted wide attention due to their generation of secure,reliable and high-speed random number sequences,and so due to their coherent merits such as high bandwidth,large amplitude fluctuation and ease of integration.There have been lots of schemes based on laser chaos for high-speed random number generation,but most of them execute the random number extractions from the associated laser chaos in the electrical domain and thus their generation rates are faced with the well-known ‘electrical bottleneck’.On the other hand,all-optical random number generation（AO-RNG） methods are all signal processes in the optical domain,so they can efficiently overcome this rate limitation and have a great potential in generating ultrafast random numbers of several dozens or hundreds of Gb/s.However,there is no experimental report on its realization of AO-RNG.One of the obstacles in the way for the AO-RNG achievement is to implement the fast and real-time all-optical sampling of the entropy signals（i.e.,laser chaos）.In this paper,we present a principal experimental demon
