Desired Control of Mutually Delay-Coupled Diode Lasers near Phase-flip Transition Regimes (1308.2313v1)

Abstract: We investigate zero-lag synchronization (ZLS) between delay-coupled diode lasers system with mutual optical injection in a face-to-face configuration. We observed numerical evidence of such ZLS without using any relay element or mediating laser. In addition, simulation also demonstrate that this kind of robust ZLS occurs around the phase flip transition regimes where in-phase and anti-phase oscillations coexist due to delayed coupling induced modulation of the phase-amplitude coupling factor {\alpha}. Our finding could be implemented in highly secured optical communication network as well as the understanding of the occurrence of such ZLS in the neural network functionality.
