We investigate synchronization and subsequently communication using chaotic rare-earth-doped fiber ring lasers, represented by a physically realistic model. The lasers are coupled by transmitting a fraction c of the circulating electric field in the transmitter and injecting it into the optical cavity of the receiver. We then analyze a coupling strategy which relies on modulation of the intensity of the light alone. This avoids problems associated with the polarization and phase of the laser light. We study synchronization as a function of the coupling strength and see excellent convergence, even with small coupling constants. We prove that in an open-loop configuration (c=1) synchronization is guaranteed due to the particular structure of our equations and of the injection method we use for these coupled laser systems. We also analyze the generalized synchronization of these model lasers when there is parameter mismatch between the transmitter and the receiver. We then address communicating information between the transmitter and receiver lasers by modulation of the chaotic optical waveform. Finally we comment on the cryptographic setting of our algorithms, especially the open-loop strategy at c=1, and hope this may lead others to perform the cryptographic analyses to determine which, if any, of the communications strategies we investigate are secure.
