Summary: | The nonlinear dynamics of nanolasers (NLs), an important component of optical sources, has received much attention. However, there is a lack of in-depth research into the high-quality chaotic output of NLs and their applications in chaotic secure communications. In this paper, we make the NLs generate broadband chaotic signals whose time-delay signatures (TDS) are completely hidden by a phase conjugate feedback structure. And in the two-channel communication scheme, we make the NLs achieve a combination of a low-latency high degree of synchronization and two-channel transmission technique, which enhances the security of message encryption and decryption. We also investigate the effects of system parameters, Purcell factor <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>F</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>, spontaneous emission coupling factor <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>β</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>, and bias current <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>I</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> on the TDS, as well as the effects of parameter mismatch and injection parameters on chaos synchronization and message recovery. The results show that the phase conjugate feedback-based NLs can achieve the suppression of the TDS within a certain parameter range, and it can achieve high-quality synchronization and enhance the security of chaotic communication under appropriate injection conditions.
