The generation of random bit sequences by switching transverse modes in a quantum cascade laser (QCL) was studied. To receive the radiation, a quantum cascade detector (QCD) made from a QCL heterostructure was used, which provides the possibility of combining them in a photonic integrated circuit. The study was carried out for a QCL pump pulse duration of 130 ns with a repetition rate of 10-100 kHz. It is shown that electrical pulses with a randomly varying voltage value appear at the output of the QCL-QCD optical coupler. Pulses could be converted into random bit sequences using appropriate comparison. Keywords: Integrated optics, quantum cascade laser, random bit sequences.
