  • Abstract
    We propose a new scheme for synchronization of the optical chaos generated by a semiconductor laser subjected to external reflection. The scheme is based on optical feedback and will be analyzed from the viewpoint of static and dynamic properties and of robustness to external perturbations and noise. An application to cryptographic communications (chaotic shift keying) is finally proposed
