Abstract: Optomechanical cavities, with nonlinear photon-phonon interactions, offer a more compact approach to chaos generation than conventional feedback-based optical systems. However, proper study on chaos synchronization of two optomechanical cavities connected by optical means is still unexplored. In this work, we theoretically investigate all-optical complete synchronization between unidirectionally coupled optomechanical cavities in the master-slave configuration. Traditionally, achieving complete synchronization in nonlinear coupled oscillators and in optical systems necessitates identical systems. Our findings, which arise naturally from the fundamental mathematical properties of optomechanical cavities, demonstrate that parameter heterogeneity can, in fact, not only enable complete synchronization but make it stable.
