The single-mode rate equations for a semiconductor laser subject to optical injection are investigated analytically. We determine the first branch of periodic solutions for low values of the injection field. For larger ...

We characterize the nonlinear dynamics of a semiconductor laser subject to optical injection. The key characteristics of measured optical spectra are reproduced in calculations based on a single-mode model that includes ...

The dynamical behavior of two mutually coupled semiconductor lasers is studied experimentally, numerically, and analytically for weak coupling. The lasers have dissimilar relaxation oscillation frequencies and intensities, ...

The dynamics of two mutually coupled but nonidentical semiconductor lasers are studied experimentally, numerically, and analytically for weak coupling. The lasers have dissimilar relaxation oscillation frequencies and ...

A charged capacitor which is placed with a semiconductor in a closed loop will normally discharge in a characteristic time τ=1/RC. We show, however, that if a semiconductor of high purity is subjected to a rf bias with ...

We demonstrate theoretically and verify experimentally that injection locking may be used to achieve double-sideband suppressed-carrier modulation of semiconductor lasers. Our theoretical investigation explains the suppression ...

This paper examines the dynamical origin of low-frequency fluctuations (LFFs) in semiconductor lasers subject to time-delayed optical feedback. In particular, we study chaotic transitions leading to the onset of LFFs by ...

Recent experiments using lasers subject to external injection

An averaging method valid for strongly nonlinear oscillators is used for the first time to describe the pulsating intensity regimes of semiconductor lasers subject to injection. Slow-time equations are derived which are ...

It is commonly believed that the dynamics responsible for low-frequency fluctuations (LFF’s) in external cavity semiconductor lasers is stochastic or chaotic. A common approach to address the origin of LFF’s is to investigate ...
