Influence of injection current on the synchronization and communication performance of closed-loop chaotic semiconductor lasers.

We numerically analyze the effect of an injection current on the synchronization and communication features of two chaotic external cavity semiconductor lasers in a closed-loop configuration. The simulation results demonstrate that, by moderately increasing the injection current, the efficient bandwidth of the chaotic carrier would be broadened, high quality chaos synchronization can be preserved, and the communication performance can be enhanced.
