Slave-master dynamics of semiconductor laser with short external cavity

In this paper, the dynamical response of a slave semiconductor laser, with short cavity, under injection of a chaotic light from a master semiconductor laser has been widely studied. This is analyzed numerically via bifurcation diagrams, in terms of the phase and strength of the feedback, as control parameters. It is shown that, both of these parameters should be considered in the dynamical response of the slave laser. Our numerical calculations show that the dynamics of the slave laser imitates the master laser, in addition to the feedback strength, it also heavily depends on the injection dynamics and rates. Numerical results also show that for different values of the control parameters, the intensity of the slave laser output can be fully different from the injection source. However, we found out under appropriate conditions, that the dynamics of the slave can be the same as the master laser. The results also show that the output of the slave laser, compared to its output without injection, can be stabled in the appropriate values of the injection rate from the master laser.
