Dynamics of Semiconductor Lasers with Optical Feedback from Photorefractive Phase Conjugate Mirror

The dynamics of semiconductor lasers with photorefractive phase conjugate optical feedback are experimentally studied. Photorefractive fringes considered here are rather static compared with time fluctuations of laser output power. Therefore, it is expected that a semiconductor laser with photorefractive feedback shows similar dynamics to those with conventional optical feedback. We examine relaxation oscillation and external cavity modes of laser output power in the presence of photorefractive phase conjugate feedback. It is proved that the dynamics of photorefractive phase conjugate feedback are fundamentally the same as those of conventional optical feedback.     

Low-Frequency Fluctuation and Frequency-Locking in Semiconductor Lasers with Long External Cavity Feedback

The properties of low-frequency fluctuations in semiconductor lasers with optical feedback from a long external cavity are experimentally studied. Frequency-locking of the laser light output to the injection current modulation is observed when the modulation frequency approaches the external cavity mode. The modulation frequency for the successful frequency-locking is always less than the external cavity mode frequency and the locking domains as a function of the modulation amplitude is asymmetric with respect to the frequency detuning.     

Modulation Induced Low-Frequency Fluctuations in Semiconductor Lasers with Optical Feedback and Their Suppression by Synchronous Modulation

Modulation induced low-frequency fluctuations (LFFs) of a semiconductor laser in the presence of optical feedback are investigated. LFFs are controlled to a synchronous oscillation when an appropriate modulation very close to the resonance frequency of the external cavity is applied to the injection current. The dependence of the frequency locking on the modulation frequency and depth is studied.     

Relaxation Oscillation Enhancement and Coherence Collapse in Semiconductor Lasers with Optical Feedback

The dynamic characteristics of a semiconductor laser with optical feedback are strongly dependent on the injection current and the reflectivity and position of the external feedback reflector. We investigated the relaxation oscillation enhancement and coherence collapse state of the laser oscillation based on the laser rate equations. It is well known that laser output power jumps with increase of the injection current due to external mode transition. But here for the first we time demonstrate the existence of a chaotic scenario within successive laser power jumps. The results calculated by numerical simulations based on the rate equations are compared with those of the experiments and good coincidence between them is found.     

Experimental Investigation of Stability Enhancement in Semiconductor Lasers with Optical Feedback

The stability enhancement of laser output power for the change of external cavity position in semiconductor lasers with optical feedback is observed by experiment. The relaxation oscillation frequency which plays an important role in the dynamics of the nonlinear system is also investigated as a function of the external cavity length. The period of the stability enhancement along the position of the external cavity is exactly coincident with the length corresponding to the relaxation oscillation frequency of the solitary laser. The experimental results are compared with theoretical and excellent coincidence between the two is found.     

Chaos synchronization in injection-locked semiconductor lasers with optical feedback

Based on the rate equations, we have investigated three types of chaos synchronizations in injection-locked semiconductor lasers with optical feedback. Numerical simulation shows that the synchronization can be realized by the symmetric or asymmetric laser systems. Also, the influence of parameter mismatches on chaos synchronization is investigated, and the results imply that these two lasers can achieve good synchronization, with smaller tolerance of parameter mismatch existing.

Synchronization of Chaotic Oscillations in Mutually Coupled Semiconductor Lasers

Synchronization of chaotic oscillations in mutually coupled semiconductor lasers is experimentally investigated. Synchronization of chaotic outputs from mutually injected lasers is observed not only in low frequency fluctuation regimes but also in high frequency fluctuation regions on the nano-second time scale. It is shown that the synchronization of our results is based not on complete chaos synchronization but on injection phenomena in laser systems, so called generalized chaos synchronization.

Experimental Injection Map of Semiconductor Laser Submitted to Filtered Feedback

Optical injection consists in the unidirectional coupling between a “slave” laser (SL) and a “Master” laser (ML). The injected SL may exhibit different behaviors, showing frequency locking, wave mixing, relaxation regimes, period doubling, and chaos. The different regimes may be mapped on a chart where the injected power and the detuning between the slave and the master frequencies are varied. In this paper, a detailed overview of the regimes are given when the SL is submitted to both optical injection and filtered optical feedback. This last coupling is realized thanks to an extended cavity, which includes a frequency filter. When the SL is operating far from threshold (4 I_th), typical regimes mentioned for feedback-free laser are observed for all the external-cavity modes. On the contrary, when the SL operates close to threshold (1.5 I_th), it is shown that the dynamics is wealthier. New regimes, as one for which simultaneously chaos and locking occur, can be identified, in comparison to the case of a single-frequency SL.
