Synchronization of chaotic outputs in multi-transverse-mode vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers

Abstract We have experimentally explored synchronization of chaotic outputs in unidirectionally coupled vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers in the multi-transverse mode regime. The beam from the transmitter is orthogonally injected into the receiver. High cross correlation between the injection and the Y polarization of the receiver can be achieved for appropriate frequency detuning and injection power. The modal property in synchronization is examined as well.
