Effect of bandwidth limitation of optical noise injection on common-signal-induced synchronization in multi-mode
Abstract:
We investigate common-signal-induced synchronization in two multi-mode semiconductor lasers subject to a bandwidth-limited optical noise signal. Synchronization can be achieved when the number of longitudinal modes is matched between the two lasers. The peak wavelengths need to be matched between the two lasers to achieve synchronization. In contrast, small correlation is observed when the peak wavelengths are mismatched. The synchronization is degraded as the number of longitudinal modes in one of the lasers is decreased. However, large correlation is obtained if the overlapped modes are selected and compared. We discuss the possibility of an unauthorized user reproducing the synchronized waveforms. It is difficult to completely reproduce the synchronized waveforms using synchronization if the bandwidth of the noise drive signal is limited.

Semiconductors
Metals such as copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), or lead (Pb) have low resistivity and feature conduction bands that are either not fully occupied or overlap with the valence band, making a bandgap non-existent. This allows electrons in the highest energy levels of the valence band to easily transition to the conduction band upon gaining...

What is a Mode?
There can be more than one mode in a data set if multiple values have the same highest frequency. For instance, suppose that the Statistics exam scores of 20 students are: 50; 53; 59; 59; 63; 63; 72; 72; 72; 72; 72; 76; 78; 81; 83; 84; 84; 84; 90; 93. Here, the mode is 72, as it occurs most frequently, five times.
A data set with two modes is called bimodal. For example,...

Schottky Barriers
Schottky barriers arise when a metal with a work function (Φm) contacts a semiconductor with a different work function (Φs). Initially, electrons transfer until the Fermi levels of the metal and semiconductor align at equilibrium. For instance, if Φm > Φs, the semiconductor Fermi level is higher than the metal's before contact. The...
