Nonlinear dynamics of semiconductor lasers: low frequency self-pulsations due to asymmetric optical feedback

Not Accessible

Abstract

Due to their strongly nonlinear behavior, semiconductor lasers are ideal systems for studying complex dynamic effects such as coherence collapse, instabilities, and chaos. Furthermore, they have found extensive applications in optical communication and data storage. Understanding nonlinear dynamic effects in diode lasers is essential for applications such as modulation, switching, bistability. short-pulse generation, linewidth narrowing, and fast reading/writing on reflective optical disks. At a more fundamental level, nonlinear processes such as harmonic generation and parametric amplification could occur at dynamic bifurcation points of a system constructed from linear materials.
