The important role of parameters in master laser with optical feedback for the elimination of time-delay (TD) signature in semiconductor laser subject to chaotic optical injection is investigated systemically. The experimental results show that TD signature suppressed chaotic signals can be credibly generated by increasing the feedback strength of the master laser, which is quite different from the trends observed in semiconductor laser (SL) with optical feedback. Systematically numerical analysis is also carried out as a validation, and it is shown that with low bias current and strong feedback strength, parameter regions contributing to successful TD suppression are much wider. Furthermore, it is shown that the influence of frequency detuning in TD concealment will change with the increase of feedback strength. All the numerical results are in perfect accordance with experimental observation.
