Chaos synchronization in mutually coupled long-wavelength vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers with long delay time Vrije Universiteit Brussel
We present an experimental study of the nonlinear dynamics and the chaos synchronization using an asymmetric all-fiber setup in mutually coupled but nonidentical 1550-nm VCSELs with a large total coupling delay time of 274.2 ns. The linear polarization of the two VCSELs is adjusted to be parallel to each other, i.e. to achieve parallel coupling. The results are analyzed in terms of the frequency detuning and the coupling strength between the two ...
