Abstract
It is shown theoretically that synchronization between two chaotic self-pul sating laser diodes can be achieved by use of optical feedback levels of a few percent. The sensitivity of the synchronization to parameter changes is examined. Asynchronization scheme that utilizes self-pulsating compact dis c laser diodes could produce low-cost stand-alone transmitters and receiver s for private communication systems.
