title: Comparison of closed-loop and open-loop feedback schemes of message decoding using chaotic laser diodes.
abstract: An experimental study of a chaotic optical communication scheme using an external cavity laser diode to encode a message is reported. The message is decoded in closed- and open-loop receiver schemes. Both schemes show effective decoding of a 1-GHz message. The synchronization and effectiveness of encoding are compared in both schemes.
