چکیده
Mutually-coupled semiconductor lasers are of great current interest because of the important insight they provide into coupled physical, chemical, and biological systems. Two semiconductor lasers either with or without optoelectronic feedback are mutually coupled together through optoelectronic paths. It is found that mutual coupling can signi cantly a ect the dynamics of the semiconductor lasers, depending on the coupling delay time and the coupling strength. Interesting phenomena such as generation of chaos, quasiperiodic and period-doubling bifurcation to chaos, and death by delay are observed. Synchronization of the chaotic outputs from mutually coupled semiconductor lasers is also observed.

Excitability of periodic and chaotic attractors in semiconductor lasers with optoelectronic feedback
The dynamics of a semiconductor laser with AC-coupled nonlinear optoelectronic feedback has been experimentally studied. A period doubling sequence of small periodic and chaotic attractors is observed, each of them displaying excitable features. This scenario is found also in a simplified physical model of the system, thus extending the concept of excitability, usually associated to fixed point...
متن کاملMultistability in a semiconductor laser with optoelectronic feedback.
The multistability in a single-mode distributed feedback semiconductor laser with delayed optoelectronic feedback is observed experimentally. For a given delay time, the observed dynamical state of the laser output is critically dependent on the process of varying the delay time and is limited by the range of variation. Various routes of delay time variation results in multistabilities characte...

We demonstrate experimentally and theoretically the existence of slow chaotic spiking sequences in the dynamics of a semiconductor laser with AC-coupled optoelectronic feedback. The time scale of these dynamics is fully determined by the high-pass filter in the feedback loop and their erratic, though deterministic, nature is evidenced by means of inter-spike interval (ISI) probability distribut...
متن کاملSynchronization of Mutually Versus Unidirectionally Coupled Chaotic Semiconductor Lasers
Synchronization dynamics of mutually coupled chaotic semiconductor lasers are investigated experimentally and compared to identical synchronization of unidirectionally coupled lasers. Mutual coupling shows high quality synchronization in a broad area of self-feedback and coupling strengths parameters phase-space. It is found to be tolerant to significant parameter mismatch which in case of unid...
متن کاملSynchronization and Communication Using Semiconductor Lasers With Optoelectronic Feedback
Semiconductor lasers provide an excellent opportunity for communication using chaotic waveforms. We discuss the characteristics and the synchronization of two semiconductor lasers with optoelectronic feedback. The systems exhibit broadband chaotic intensity oscillations whose dynamical dimension generally increases with the time delay in the feedback loop. We explore the robustness of this sync...
