Based on the chaos driving synchronization of vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) with optical feedback, the chaotic secure communication system of VCSELs with optical feedback is designed. Through the realizations of simulation signal and digital signal in the chaotic secure communication system, the feasibility of this system is verified. Besides, the secret communications of text and digital image can be well achieved by this scheme. Furthermore, the difference of image grey value between their histograms of encryption image and decryption image is calculated. Numerical simulation results show that the secret communication system has a good decryption effect.
