“…For erbium doped fiber ring lasers (EDFRLs) chaotic behavior has been observed and modeled, demonstrating a rich variety of dynamical states [13][14][15]. Chaotic synchronization for coupled EDFRLs has also been observed and studied in depth [16,17], and delay-coupled fiber ring lasers have also demonstrated properties of achronal synchronization and noise-induced synchronization [18].…”

We study the onset of synchronization in a network of N delay-coupled stochastic fiber ring lasers with respect to various parameters when the coupling power is weak. In particular, for groups of three or more ring lasers mutually coupled to a central hub laser, we demonstrate a robust tendency toward out-of-phase (achronal) synchronization between the N-1 outer lasers and the single inner laser. In contrast to the achronal synchronization, we find the outer lasers synchronize with zero-lag (isochronal) with respect to each other, thus forming a set of N-1 coherent fiber lasers.

“…This property has been especially used for semiconductor laser synchronization 3 and has led to secure communication tests in a metropolitan network 4 . Some authors have proposed setups for encrypted communications based on erbium-doped lasers, using either the low-frequency chaos (kHz) 5 , due to the delay of the populations' readjustment to the modulation of some laser property (pump power, losses…), either the high frequency chaos (GHz) 6 , attributed to competition of the polarization modes.…”

An erbium-doped photonic crystal fiber laser has been designed, constructed and characterized in order to examine the feasibility of this kind of devices for secure communications applications based on two identical chaotic lasers. Inclusion of a tailored photonic crystal fiber as active medium improves considerably the security of the device because it allows customization of the mode transversal profile, very influential on the laser dynamics and virtually impossible to be cloned by undesired listeners. The laser design has been facilitated by the combination of characterization procedures and models developed by us, which allow prediction of the most suitable laser features (losses, length of active fiber, etc.) to a given purpose (in our case, a laser that emits chaotically for a wide assortment of pump modulation conditions). The chaotic signals obtained have been characterized by means of topological analysis techniques. The underlying chaotic attractors found present topological structures belonging to classes of which very scarce experimental results have been reported. This fact is interesting from the point of view of the study of nonlinear systems and, besides, it is promising for secure communications: the stranger the signals, the more difficult for an eavesdropper to synthesize another system with similar dynamics.
