We experimentally demonstrate the synchronization of regularly vibrating soliton molecules by means of an injected modulated signal. Such synchronization is analyzed in real time through the sensitive balanced optical correlation technique. We also unveil the existence of chaotic intra-molecular vibrations, to which we successfully apply a similar control strategy. These findings strengthen the hypothesis of internal dynamics of soliton molecules essentially ruled by a reduced number of degrees of freedom, allowing applicative prospects.
