Chaos self-synchronization in a semiconductor laser.
We show theoretically and experimentally that a semiconductor laser driven to chaos by optical feedback may be self-synchronized by reinjection of a delayed replica of its same optical output. The ensuing periodic regularity of the self-synchronized laser output is analyzed.
