All-optical mutual injection is proposed to be a new technique for synchronization of two or more mode-locked semiconductor lasers with applications for example in novel secure communication schemes or optical clock synchronization, as initially theoretically predicted in [Simos et al., IEEE J.Quantum Electron. 54 (2018), 2001106]. In this contribution, two passively mode-locked quantum dot semiconductor lasers emitting at 1250 nm are mutually injected by a free-space all-optical experimental configuration. Pulse train repetition rate and laser emission wavelength synchronization are experimentally demonstrated across a broad operating regime. Emission dynamics are analysed as a function of optical delay time and laser biasing conditions. A broad synchronization regime spanning 150 mA is reported. Simulations are in good agreement with the experimental results.
