We show that manipulation and selection of optical patterns is possible by detuning the frequency of one of the two waves in counterpropagating photorefractive two-wave mixing with a feedback mirror. An analytical expression for the onset of modulational instability is derived for the general case of an arbitrary complex coupling constant, including a possible frequency shift of the generated s...

We study the enhanced Kerr-nonlinear coefficient in a three-level A-type atomic system for various coupling-beam powers. The Kerr-nonlinear coefficient behaves very differently in the strong and the weak coupling power regions and changes sign when the coupling or probe frequency detuning changes sign. Comparisons of Kerr-nonlinear coefficients as functions of probe frequency detuning, coupling...

We theoretically investigate the effects of frequency detuning and injection power on the nonlinear dynamics of DFB lasers under dual external optical injection. Keywords—Optical injection, DFB laser, frequency detuning, injection power.

We present experimental and numerical studies of the dynamics of two delay-coupled device-identical semiconductor lasers. We concentrate on the regime of short delay times where the coupling delay is comparable to the period of the relaxation oscillation frequency. We find characteristic scenarios in the intensity dynamics depending on the spectral detuning and the coupling phase. For small spe...

The rouge waves in an optically injected semiconductor lasers are receiving a lot of interest. In this work, the generating and controlling of the rogue waves in semiconductor lasers have been investigated. For this purpose, the laser’s rate equations are solved numerically in a specified time interval, then the field amplitude and the intensity versus time are calculated and analyzed. To solve...

We have studied experimentally effects of two-frequency optical injection on a multimode vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL). The injected signal comes from another VCSEL. Polarization switching (PS) with and without frequency locking occurs for relatively small frequency detuning. Outside the regime of polarization switching, the VCSEL demonstrates two types of instabilities. The in...

Phase error analysis in Temporal Phase Shifting (TPS) algorithms due to frequency detuning has been to date only performed numerically. In this paper, we show an exact analytical expression to obtain this phase error due to detuning using the spectral TPS response. The new proposed method is based on the phasorial representation of the output of the TPS quadrature filter. Doing this, the detuni...
