In this paper, the synchronization problem of coupled chaotic lasers in master–slave configuration is numerically studied. The approach used allows to give a simple design procedure for the slave laser. In particular, we consider a complex system composed by two chaotic Nd:YAG lasers coupled through the first state variable of the master laser. Synchronization of chaotic Nd:YAG lasers is achieved by injecting the chaotic signal from the master Nd:YAG laser into the slave Nd:YAG laser. The robustness of synchronization is discussed when a mismatch of parameters occurs, and the effects of the channel noise on recovered information are showed. A potential application of chaotic synchronization of Nd:YAG lasers to transmit encrypted digital information is also given.
