Dynamics of erbium-doped fibre laser with optical delay feedback and chaotic synchronization

The dynamical behaviour of the erbium-doped fibre single-ring laser with an optical delay feedback is discussed. Simulation shows that as the delay rate increases, the lasing light displays period-doubling which leads to chaos and via reverse period-doubling route returns from chaos to periodic. At a particular delay rate the intermittently chaotic route to chaos is also observed. The identical synchronization based on chaos in this ring laser is demonstrated by numerical simulation.

Secure communication by generalized chaotic synchronization

Chaotic communication is a rather new and active field of research. Althoughit is expected to have promising advantages, some investigators provide evidences that chaoticcommunication is not safety. This letter provides a new chaotic secure communication scheme based ona generalized synchronization theory of coupled system. The secret message hidden in the chaoticsource signal generated via the scheme is very difficult to be unmasked by so-called nonlineardynamic forecasting technique. One example for Internet communications was presented to illustratethe security of our scheme.

Preference of Chaotic Synchronization in a Coupled Laser System

In a coupled laser system, the dynamics of the receiving laser is investigated when two separate transmitting lasers are injected into the receiving laser with different coupling strengths. It is shown that the phenomenon of preference of chaotic synchronization appears under appropriate coupling conditions. The receiving laser will entrain the pulses of either one or both transmitting lasers when the coupling is strong while it keeps its own dynamics when the coupling is weak.

Chaotic synchronization via linear controller

A technical framework of constructing a linear controller for chaotic synchronization by utilizing the stability theory of cascade-connected system is presented. Based on the method developed in the paper, two simple and linear feedback controllers, as examples, are derived for the synchronization of Liu chaotic system and Duffing oscillator, respectively. This method is quite flexible in constructing a control law. Its effectiveness is also illustrated by the simulation results.

Chaotic synchronization is a branch of chaotic control. Nowadays, the research and application of chaotic synchronization have become a hot topic and one of the development directions is for the research on chaos. In this paper, a universal nonlinear stateobserver is presented for a class of universal chaotic systems to realize the chaotic synchronization, according to the theory of state-observer in the modern control theory. And theoretic analysis and simulation results have illustrated the validity of the approach. Moreover, the approach of synchronization proposed in this paper is very easy, flexible and universal with high synchronization precision.When the approach is applied to secure communication, the results are satisfying.

Bi-directional Secure Communication Based on Discrete Chaotic Synchronization

Discrete chaotic systems are used for bi-directlonal secure communication. Both sides of communication keep sending signals to achieve their synchronization, and then recover the messages. However, the third side without keys cannot get useful information. Known-plaintext attack is also engaged to analyze this method, and the simulation results show that the proposed method can reach high security performance.

Implementation of a new chaotic encryption system and synchronization

A new kind of secure communication system which combines the chaotic encryption means with the conventional encryption method is discussed. With the analysis results and the experiment data, the anti-attack ability of this communication system is significantly improved compared to that of the either method. At the same time, a new method of chaotic synchronization is proposed. With a small mixed discrete chaotic signal, it is quickly to synchronize the communication and a good security performance is ensured.

Synchronization of Chaotic Intensities and Phases in an Array of N Lasers

A linear array of N mutually coupled single-mode lasers is investigated. It is shown that the intensities of N lasers are chaotically synchronized when the coupling between lasers is relatively strong. The chaotic synchronization of intensities depends on the location of the lasers in the array. The chaotic synchronization appears between two outmost lasers, the second two outmost lasers, etc. There is no synchronization between nearest neighbors of the lasers. If the number of N is odd, the middle laser is never synchronized between any lasers. The chaotic synchronization of phases between nearest lasers in the array is examined by using the analytic signal and the Gaussian filter methods based on the peak of the power spectrum of the intensity. It can be seen that the message of chaotic intensity synchronization is conveyed through the phase synchronization.

Synchronization between two different chaotic systems with noise perturbation

This paper investigates the chaotic synchronization between the noise-perturbed Lorenz system and one of the noise-perturbed Chen and Lii systems. Based on the active control method and the Lyapunov theory in stochastic differential equations, sufficient conditions for the stability of the error dynamics are derived. Numerical simulations are also shown to demonstrate the effectiveness of these theoretic results.

Adaptive synchronization of a class of chaotic systems via variable structure control

The synchronization problem under two cases is considered. One is that the bound on the uncertainty existing in the controller is known, the other is that the bound is unknown. In the latter case, the simple adaptation laws for upper bound on the norm of the uncertainty is proposed. Using this adaptive upper bound, a variable structure control is designed. The proposed method does not guarantee the convergence of the adaptive upper bound to the real one but makes the system asymptotically stable.

Study on phase synchronization of stochastic chaotic system

This paper detects and characterizes the diverse roles played by bounded noise in chaotic phase synchronization （CPS） of weakly coupled nonlinear stochastic systems. Analysis of a paradigmatic model of two bidirectional coupled three-level food chains is carried out by various statistical measures such as Shannon entropy and mutual information. The results indicate that inside the synchronous regime, CPS is considerably reduced under the influence of bounded noise; near the onset of phase synchronization, temporal phase locking is diversely changed with the increase of noise, i.e., either weak or strong noise also degrades the degree of CPS, while intermediate noise enhances CPS remarkably, and an optimal noise intensity is detected that maximizes the enhancement.

Inverse full state hybrid projective synchronization for chaotic maps with different dimensions

A new synchronization scheme for chaotic（hyperchaotic） maps with different dimensions is presented.Specifically,given a drive system map with dimension n and a response system with dimension m,the proposed approach enables each drive system state to be synchronized with a linear response combination of the response system states.The method,based on the Lyapunov stability theory and the pole placement technique,presents some useful features：（i） it enables synchronization to be achieved for both cases of n 〈 m and n 〉 m;（ii） it is rigorous,being based on theorems;（iii） it can be readily applied to any chaotic（hyperchaotic） maps defined to date.Finally,the capability of the approach is illustrated by synchronization examples between the two-dimensional H′enon map（as the drive system） and the three-dimensional hyperchaotic Wang map（as the response system）,and the three-dimensional H′enon-like map（as the drive system） and the two-dimensional Lorenz discrete-time system（as the response system）.

Improving performance of optical fibre chaotic communication by dispersion compensation techniques

This paper numerically investigates the effects of dispersion on optical fibre chaotic communication, and proposes a dispersion compensation scheme to improve the performance of optical fibre chaotic communication system. The obtained results show that the transmitter-receiver synchronization progressively degrades and the signal-to-noise ratio of the recovered message deteriorates as the fibre length increases due to the dispersion accumulation. Two segments of 2.5-km dispersion-compensating fibres are symmetrically placed at both ends of a segment of 245-km nonzero dispersionshifted fibre with low dispersion in one compensation period. The numerical results show that the signal-to-noise ratio of the extracted 1 GHz sinusoidal message is improved from -2.92 dB to 15.38 dB by this dispersion compensation for the transmission distance of 500 km.

Digital Communication Using Multi-mode Chaotic Lasers

The digital communication in a system of two multi-mode solid state chaotic lasers is investigated theoretically. If the usual method working well in a single-mode laser system is applied to a multi-mode laser system, the memory effect of the two nearest digits can cause high rate of mistakes when the digits are decoded through the subtraction of receiver output from the transmittal. By introducing the deviations of two nearest maximum and minimum fluctuationsof the signal to decode the digit, the message can be decoded correctly. Also, this communication method does not critically depend on the quality of the chaotic synchronization of the two multi-mode lasers.

Adaptive coupled synchronization of non-autonomous systems in ring networks

The adaptive coupled synchronization method for non-autonomous systems is proposed. This method can avoid estimating the value of coupling coefficient. Under the uniform Lipschitz assumption, we derive the asymptotical synchronization for a general coupling ring network with N identical non-autonomous systems~ even when N is large enough. Strict theoretical proofs are given. Numerical simulations illustrate the effectiveness of the present method.

Realization of Complete Synchronization between Different Systems by Using Structure Adaptation

We study the complete synchronization between different systems. Based on our new idea about structure adaptation, a new synchronized method, i.e. the structure adaptive method, is proposed. We believe that this self-adaptive mechanism correctly represents essential characteristics of self-adaptation in complex systems. We also show that this method is reasonable both from the coupling viewpoint in physics and from the controller design viewpoint in control theory.

Digital communication of two-dimensional messages in a chaotic optical system

The digital communication of two-dimensional messages is investigated when two solid state multi-mode chaotic lasers are employed in a master-slave configuration. By introducing the time derivative of intensity difference between the receiver （carrier） and the transmittal （carrier plus signal）, several signals can be encoded into a single pulse. If one signal contains several binary bits, two-dimensional messages in the form of a matrix can be encoded and transmitted on a single pulse. With these improvements in secure communications using chaotic multi-mode lasers, not only the transmission rate can be increased but also the privacy can be enhanced greatly.

La Shalle＇s invariant-set-theory based asymptotic synchronization of duffing system with unknown parameters

A novel La Shalle＇s invariant set theory （LSIST） based adaptive asymptotic synchronization （LSISAAS） method is proposed to asymptotically synchronize Duffing system with unknown parameters which also are considered as system states. The LSISASS strategy depends on the only information, i.e. one state of the master system. According to the LSIST, the LSISASS method can asymptotically synchronize fully the states of the master system and the unknown system parameters as well. Simulation results also validate that the LSISAAS approach can obtain asymptotic synchronization.
