title: Information encoding in homoclinic chaotic systems.
abstract: We present a simple method for real-time encoding of information in the interspike intervals of a homoclinic chaotic system. The method has been experimentally tested on a CO2 laser with feedback displaying Sil'nikov chaos and synchronized with an external pulsed signal. Information is encoded by the length of the temporal intervals between consecutive pulses of the external signal. This length is varied each time a new pulse is generated.
