All optical chaos synchronization between nonidentical optomechanical cavities

Abstract: Optomechanical cavities, with nonlinear photon-phonon interactions, offer a more compact approach to chaos generation than conventional feedback-based optical systems. However, proper study on long-distance chaos synchronization of two optomechanical cavities connected by a long optical fiber is still unexplored. In this work, we theoretically investigate all-optical complete synchronization between unidirectionally coupled optomechanical cavities. Traditionally, achieving complete synchronization in nonlinear coupled oscillators and in optical systems necessitates identical systems. Our findings, which arise naturally from the fundamental mathematical properties of optomechanical cavities, demonstrate that parameter heterogeneity can, in fact, not only enable complete synchronization but make it stable.
