线宽增强因子对外光注入半导体激光器非线性单周期振荡特性的影响

线宽增强因子是影响半导体激光器输出特性的一个重要参量,不同材料不同结构类型的半导体激光器的线宽增强因子有较大的差异.利用光注入半导体激光器的单模速率方程模型,数值研究了线宽增强因子对外光注入半导体激光器的非线性单周期振荡特性的影响.结果表明:外光注入半导体激光器的动态特性对线宽增强因子的变化极为敏感,随着线宽增强因子的增加,在负失谐注入范围内单周期振荡区域显著增大,同时注入锁定的稳态输出被大大抑制.分析了线宽增强因子对非线性单周期振荡光谱特性和振荡频率的影响,结果表明:随着半导体激光器线宽增强因子的增大,单周期振荡的频率越大|当线宽增强因子不变时,单周期振荡的频率随注入光强度和频率失谐的增加而增加.     

光注入半导体激光器产生单边带效应的研究

在光注入半导体激光器中,为了更好地利用单周期振荡的单边带效应产生光载无线通信(Ro F)系统所需的单边带光,通过数值模拟的方法研究产生单边带效应的注入条件和影响因素。通过在不同注入强度和频率失谐下仿真光注入半导体激光器的速率方程,找到了产生单边带效应的条件范围。选取弱注入与强注入两种特定情况分别研究各参数对产生单边带效应的影响。结果发现,无论是弱注入还是强注入时,单边带效应都随偏置电流和线宽增强因子的减小而更加明显。弱注入时单边带效应随频率失谐的增大而变好,而强注入时需减小频率失谐才能得到较好的单边带效应。此外,强注入时单边带效应还会随着腔衰减率的增大而增强。因此,要想获得好的单边带光,需选取合适的激光器类型与外部注入参数。

Route to broadband optical chaos generation and synchronization using dual-path optically injected semiconductor lasers

The generation and synchronization of broadband optical chaos in dual-path optically injected (DPOI) semiconductor lasers (SLs) are numerically demonstrated. The effective bandwidth enhancement is achieved up to about 35.84 GHz, under appropriate injection strength and frequency detuning. We systematically study and compare the bandwidth enhancement in single-path optically injected SLs (SPOI-SLs) and DPOI-SLs, and find that better performance can be obtained for the latter over a larger parameter span. Furthermore, two schemes for synchronization of bandwidth-enhanced chaos generated in two similar or identical (twin) DPOI-SLs are proposed, where the twins are driven by a common DPOI signal injected from another chaotic SL. High-quality chaos synchronization, an isochronous type, is observed between the twin DPOI-SLs. Also, the effect of parameter mismatch and frequency detuning is numerically examined. The simple technique of bandwidth enhancement using dual-path injection may pave way for various applications such as high-speed random number generators (RNGs) and chaos-based communications.     

Bifurcation and locking in an multi-quantum-well laser subjected to external injection

Bifurcation and dynamic stability as well as locking in an external light injection multi-quantum-well (MQW) laser are studied. Different dynamic regimes in locking diagram are analyzed with the injection level and frequency detuning. Bifurcate behavior is numerically simulated via the external injection light intensity, frequency detuning, current, linewidth enhance factor, photon loss rate and carrier loss rate, respectively. And the route to chaos from bifurcation, period-doubling and quasi-period are described by numerical analysis. A perturbation equation of four-dimension model and the bifurcation condition are demonstrated. Dynamic stability of the laser is theoretically and numerically analyzed. The bifurcate expression is theoretically given while the maximum locking frequency domain is given. The variational characteristic of the oscillation frequency in the self-pulse regimes versus the injection and detuning are numerically analyzed to find that the relaxation frequency is reduced with adding the detuning in the smaller detuning or with adding the injection in the smaller injection while the relaxation frequency will be increased with adding the detuning in the larger detuning or with adding the injection in the larger injection. We find also that the chaotic spectra are broadened with adding the detuning or narrowed with adding the injection or the current.     

Experimental Investigation of Chaos Synchronization in DFB Diode Lasers with Unsymmetrical Scheme

We experimentally generate high dimension chaotic waveforms with smooth spectrum using a distributed feedback （DFB） semiconductor laser with unidirectional fibre ring long-cavity feedback, and implement the stable chaos synchronization when the chaotic light is injected into a solitary DFB laser diode. The synchronization quality is investigated by time-domain and frequency-domain analysis separately, The frequency-domain analysis indicates that the synchronization has higher quality in the high frequency band. The influences of the injection strength and the frequency detuning on the synchronization are measured. Our experimental results show that the robust synchronization can be maintained with the optical frequency detuning from -11GHz to 40 GHz.

Using polarization properties to enhance performance of chaos synchronization communication between vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers

Enhanced chaos synchronization communication between vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) is investigated numerically, by adopting a polarization communication protocol where one polarization mode is used as the chaotic carrier and the orthogonal polarization mode is used as the disturbed signal. The chaos synchronization quality for the receiver laser (RL) and attacker laser (AL) are analyzed in terms of the cross-correlation coefficient. There are two distinct regions of good synchronization quality in the injection parameters space. In the first region, good synchronization quality can be ensured for both the RL and AL. In the second region, only the RL can realize chaos synchronization. We further discuss the security enhancement by comparing the communication performance between RL and AL for injection parameters within the second region. The results show that successful and robust decoding is only achievable for the RL.     

Enhanced locking region in injection-locked two-section lasers

In this Letter, we investigate the criteria for achieving an enhanced stable locking region in the parameter space of injected field E_inj and frequency detuning ω in two-section semiconductor lasers subject to optical injection. Using the rate equations, a stability analysis is performed and the conditions for an enhanced locking region are deduced from the requirement for the average linewidth enhancement factor appearing in the locking-bandwidth equation to be close to zero. We calculate a stability map for an injection-locked two-section laser with an almost-symmetrical locking region that is greatly enhanced compared to a single-section injection-locked laser with identical material and control parameters.     

Complex chaos and bifurcations of semiconductor lasers subjected to optical injection

This paper presents the nonlinear dynamics and bifurcations of optically injection semiconductor lasers in the frame of relative weak injection strength. We consider the new modified rate equations model established recently and the behavior of the system is explored by means of bifurcation diagrams. However, the exact nature of the involved dynamics is well described by a detailed study of the changes of dynamics as a function of the effective gain coefficient. As results, we notice symmetry spectra of intensity, the sudden transition between chaos and stable limit cycle, double scroll attractors together with the phenomenon of a sequence of period-doubling route of chaos, strict crisis between the two basins attraction and the boundary crisis as well as the effects of frequency detuning and linewidth enhancement factor on the nonlinear behaviors.
