Abstract :
A novel hybrid chaotic system composed of a laser diode source and a Fabry-Perot interferometer with an electrical feedback is proposed. The delayed-differential equation describing the system input-output relation is derived and studied by numerical simulations. The instability of the output power from the laser diode is investigated experimentally and its behavior is proved to be chaotic. The comparison between the theoretical analysis and the experimental results shows good agreement
