The chaotic optical communication systems are based on the synchronization between the transmitting and receiving chaotic laser diodes. The performance of the system is determined by the bit error rate which can result from either the synchronization deviation or the desynchronization bursts. The time required for resynchronization results in loss of bits. The synchronization recovery time is studied for the different chaotic synchronization schemes. Also, the effect of the parameters mismatch between the transmitting and receiving laser diodes on the recovery time is investigated. ©2009 IEEE.
