Abstract

It is well known that semiconductor lasers often cause unstable oscillations under the influence of their delayed-feedback fields. Detailed analyses and experiments relating to this problem have been reported by many authors.^1–5 The analytical solution for determining system stability has also been reported.^4,5 Owing to this, one can easily predict whether the system in a particular situation is stable or not without performing direct numerical integrations.
