  • Abstract
    Synchronization switching between complete and generalized synchronization via frequency detuning of chaotic laser diodes has been observed. Maximum cross-correlation coefficients for the two forms of synchronization have been used to demonstrate such synchronization switching. The regime of synchronization achieved has also been confirmed by measurement of the time lag between the synchronized laser outputs.
