Truly Random Number Generation Based on Measurement of Phase Noise of Laser

We present a simple approach to realize truly random number generation based on measurement of the phase noise of a single mode vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL). The true randomness of the quantum phase noise originates from the spontaneous emission of photons and the random bit generation rate is ultimately limited only by the laser linewidth. With the final bit generation rate of 20 Mbit/s, the physically guaranteed truly random bit sequence passes the three standard random tests. Moreover, for the first time, a {\it continuously} generated random bit sequence up to 14 Gbit is verified by two additional criteria for its true randomness.
