Abstract

Chaos is being used to implement secure optical communication systems. A message is encoded in to a chaotic carrier generated by the transmitter laser. Decoding of the message can be effected using a chaotic receiver if it is synchronized to the transmitter. Synchronization of two chaotic single mode self-pulsating laser diodes is demonstrated. Both the multimode nature of these lasers and the effect of random spontaneous emission noise on the synchronization are considered. The spontaneous emission noise and the influence of phase-amplitude coupling in the laser significantly alters the size of the coupling required to achieve synchronization.
