Abstract:

 We studied numerically synchronization in chaotic electrooptic bistable systems   using the difference signal between the drive and response systems to drive the response system. With proper driving stiffness, the two chaotic systems can attain to generalized and phase  synchronization, respectively. Analyzing the maximal conditional Lyapunov exponent (MCLE) of the response system, we found their range of validity and their rules. At the same time, we achieved the chaos control and anticontrol to the response system and their rules.

Key words: electrooptical bistable system, chaos synchronization, chaos control
