Adaptive procedure for the parameter estimation of a model of a CO2 chaotic laser

We have proposed an adaptive procedure in order to estimate unknown parameters of a numerical model of a chaotic CO2 laser, which is observed through a time series that represents the output intensity of the laser. To do that, we consider a coupled system with the same functional form and adjustable parameters. The salient feature of the proposed technique is that accurate parameter estimation and identical synchronization can be jointly achieved by adaptively adjusting the desired parameters of the coupled system.
