The time delay signature (TDS) of chaos generated in three schemes of optical injection has been investigated, and the mechanism of TDS suppression (TDSS) is revealed. The first scheme is a continuous-wave (CW) laser unidirectionally injecting into a chaotic laser, and the TDS of the chaotic laser is suppressed below 0.08 in this structure. The second scheme is a chaotic laser unidirectionally injecting into a CW laser, where the parameter range of TDSS lower than 0.06 of this structure is the largest among the three schemes. The third scheme is two CW lasers coupling to each other, and two chaotic lasers with TDS (T D S<0.1) suppression can be obtained simultaneously. For the further analysis of the mechanism of TDSS, the quasi-linear relationship between the synchronization coefficient and TDS is revealed. This study will provide insight into the generation of chaotic lasers by optical injection and promote the application of chaotic lasers.
