title: Common-chaotic-signal induced synchronization in semiconductor lasers.
abstract: We experimentally and numerically observe synchronization of two semiconductor lasers commonly driven by a chaotic semiconductor laser subject to optical feedback. Under condition that the relaxation oscillation frequency is matched between the two response lasers, but mismatched between the drive and the two response lasers, we show that it is possible to observe strongly correlated synchronization between the two response lasers even when the correlation between the drive and response lasers is low. We also show that the cross correlation between the two responses is larger than that between drive and responses over a wide parameter region.
