Description
Summary:High quality chaotic signal generation in a mutually delay coupled semiconductor lasers (MDC-SLs) system is numerically explored by evaluating the time-delay signature (TDS) and complexity of chaotic signals. Autocorrelation function is utilized for quantitatively identifying the TDS of chaotic signal, and Kolmogorov–Sinai entropy and Kaplan–York dimensions are applied to estimate the complexity of chaotic signal. The results show that, under suitable parameters, two sets of chaotic signals with weak TDS and high complexity can be obtained simultaneously. By analyzing the influences of the mutual coupling strength and frequency detuning between the two MDC-SLs on the TDS and complexity of chaotic signals, the optimized parameter regions are specified for simultaneously generating two sets of high quality chaotic signals based on the MDC-SLs system.
