Abstract :
This paper provides an overview of experimental and theoretical work undertaken in the authors´ laboratory and directed at the development of optical chaos communications technology. The specific focus of the paper is on the use of external cavity edge-emitting semiconductor lasers for this purpose. Applications to networked chaotic-communications will be highlighted.
