In this paper, the wavelength mismatch between the message and the chaotic carrier in the chaotic optical communication with chaos-masking has been experimentally investigated. The results show that the decryption performance of the receiver can be improved when the message wavelength is greater than that of the chaotic carrier. When the wavelength offset is set to 0.12 nm, high-speed secure optical communication with a message of 2.5 Gbits/s is achieved.
