偏振选择互注入半导体激光器的混沌同步

研究了偏振选择互注入条件下半导体激光器的同步和混沌滤波效应。将单模互注入速率方程扩展为包含两个偏振态的理论模型,并选择X偏振态作为互注入形式,不仅为激光器产生混沌和实现同步提供了条件,还可以完全抑制Y偏振光,实现了纯偏振模式同步。通过频率失调的引入,保持了激光器主从地位的稳定。研究结果表明,主从激光器实现了时差等于注入延时的混沌同步,输出功率表现出高频振荡并伴随有对称性破坏现象。对主激光器进行调制时,同步系统表现出与单向注入相似的混沌滤波效应;对从激光器进行调制时,系统的混沌滤波效应并不明显。

Experimental synchronization of mutually coupled semiconductor lasers with optoelectronic feedback

Anticipated or retarded synchronization of a mutually coupled nonlinear system is experimentally studied through a mutually coupled semiconductor laser system subject to optoelectronic feedback. These two types of synchronization are found to arise from a predictable relation between feedback/coupling delay times under particular feedback/coupling strength combinations. A comparison between the experimental results and the theoretical predictions is completed. The experimental results mostly agree with theoretical predictions. System limitations are also discussed.     

Demultiplexing chaos from multimode semiconductor lasers

We show numerically that the injection of two chaotic modes of a multimode semiconductor laser with optical feedback into two single-mode stand-alone semiconductor lasers leads to chaotic synchronization between the respective intensities. The effect of parameter mismatch between the transmitter and receiver lasers is examined, and it is concluded that the observed synchronization is a consequence of injection locking. Under these conditions, the possibility of using this demultiplexing scheme for message transmission is examined.     

Dynamics of coupled self-pulsating semiconductor lasers

We introduce and analyze a model for the dynamics of two coupled self-pulsating semiconductor lasers. We investigate the role of the complex coupling coefficient in the static and dynamic properties of the device. We find conditions for the emergence of coherent laser pulses, in which the two lasers display synchronous coherent self-pulsations (self-pulsating super modes). Nonlinear dynamics and two different routes to chaos are also individuated and discussed.     

Phase locking and chaos synchronization in injection-locked semiconductor lasers

We theoretically studied synchronization of chaotic oscillation in semiconductor lasers with chaotic light injection. Feedback-induced chaotic light generated from a master semiconductor laser was injected into a solitary slave semiconductor laser. The slave laser subsequently exhibited synchronized chaotic output for a wide parameter range with strong injection and frequency detuning within the injection-locking regime. Our numerical simulation revealed that the synchronized slave laser exhibits remarkable phase locking, even for chaotic light injection. Consequently, synchronization in phase fluctuations becomes dominant over intensity fluctuations. We found that there exists a parameter range where the slave can synchronize in phase only, with no intensity synchronization. However, synchronization can be completely destroyed, both in phase and in intensity, when the phase locking becomes unstable due to four-wave mixing or excited resonance oscillation. The phase locking was studied analytically and the correspondence between numerical and analytical results was shown. We also analytically examined chaos synchronization based on a linear stability analysis from the viewpoint of modulation response of injection-locked semiconductor lasers to a chaotic light signal. As a result, we verified that such injection-locking-induced chaos synchronization results from a quasilinear response of the bandwidth-broadened slave laser due to strong optical injection.     

Bistability by induced waveguiding in coupled semiconductor lasers

Recently, McInerney, Reekie, and Bradley observed bistability in twin diode GaAs/GaAlAs injection lasers in an external cavity when both diodes were above threshold. We show that this bistability may be explained by a form of self-focusing which is produced by induced waveguiding in the wide stripe lasers. A detailed analysis is performed on a standard model of these diodes in an external cavity. We have found very good agreement between theory and experiment.

Intensity fluctuation in semiconductor lasers coupled to external cavity

Broad peaks are observed in the intensity noise spectrum for external cavity AlGaAs lasers. Oscillating longitudinal mode spectrum measured with a high resolution Fabry-Perot interferometer indicates that the intensity noise peaks result from the lasing of several closely spaced external cavity modes. A new mechanism is proposed to explain the observed noise spectrum; the intensity fluctuation is induced by modulation of the dielectric constant in the semiconductor cavity due to the beating of the electric fields for lasing modes. Qualitative agreements between the theory and experiments are obtained.     

Antiphase dynamics of selectively coupled multimode semiconductor lasers

We analyze the experiment of A. Uchida et al. (2001) reporting on the synchronization of multimode semiconductor lasers coupled unidirectionally through one of the transmitter modes. We show that only the coupled modes are synchronized and that the dynamical regimes of the two lasers are different, though leading to similar power spectra.     

Noise characteristics in repetitively pulsed semiconductor lasers
