Chaos generation by a hybrid integrated chaotic semiconductor laser

We design a hybrid integrated chaotic semiconductor laser with short-cavity optical feedback. It can be assembled in a commercial butterfly shell with just three micro-lenses. One of them is coated by a transflective film to provide the optical feedback for chaos generation while insuring regular laser transmission. We prove the feasibility of the chaos generation in this compact structure and provide critical external parameters for the fabrication by theoretical simulations. Rather than the usual changeless internal parameters used in previous simulation research, we extract the real parameters of the chip by experiment. Moreover, the maps of the largest Lyapunov exponent with varying bias current and feedback intensity K_(ap) demonstrate the dynamic characteristics under different external-cavity conditions. Each laser chip has its own optimal external cavity length(L) and feedback intensity(K_(ap)) to generate chaos because of the different internal parameters. We have acquired two ranges of optimal parameters(L = 4 mm, 0.12 K_(ap) 0.2 and L = 5 mm, 0.07 K_(ap) 0.12) for two different chips.

Enhancing the relaxation oscillation frequency of a chaotic semiconductor laser transmitter using optical dual-feedback light

A method to enhance the relaxation oscillation frequency and carrier bandwidth of a delayed feedback semiconductor laser transmitter is presented using additive optical feedback light. A formula for frequency detuning of the optical dual-feedback is developed to demonstrate that frequency detuning is added with the additive optical feedback light level. The function of the relaxation oscillation frequency of the chaotic laser is theoretically determined to show that it can be broadened by including the delay time and feedback level. Numerical results demonstrate that the bandwidth with the additive optical feedback light can be enhanced 1.7 times more than the bandwidth without it and the relaxation oscillation frequency of the chaotic laser is increased to 1.8 times more than that of the laser without it. The current can enhance the relaxation oscillation frequency and bandwidth of the transmitter more efficiently.

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.     

Enhancement of chaotic carrier bandwidth in laser diode transmitter utilizing external light injection

Semiconductor laser with optical feedback emitting chaotic optical signal can be treated as chaotic carrier transmitter. Based on laser rate equations, we numerically study the effect of external injection light on the bandwidth of chaotic carrier transmitter. Our numerical simulation shows that the bandwidth of the chaotic carrier transmitter can be enhanced significantly by external photons injection. Compared with the 2 GHz relaxation oscillation frequency of a solitary laser diode without optical injection, the bandwidth of a chaotic carrier transmitter is expanded to 14.5 GHz with injection parameter at k_inj = 0.39. Simulation results also demonstrate that the enhanced bandwidth depends obviously on the frequency detuning between the external injection laser diode and the chaotic carrier transmitter. The maximum bandwidth of the chaotic transmitter can be obtained when the frequency of the injected light is higher than the central frequency of the carrier transmitter between 2 GHz and 4 GHz.
