Identity synchronization is observed experimentally and numerically in the chaotic dynamics of a system of two unidirectionally coupled semiconductor lasers. The transmitter and receiver lasers are subjected to polarization-rotated optical feedback and injection, respectively. Numerical and analytical results show that identity synchronization requires parameter matching through a relationship between the injection and feedback strengths, and linewidth enhancement factors of the lasers. Inverse synchronization is also observed experimentally.
