We review the properties of optical spatial dissipative solitons (SDS). These are stable, self‐
localized optical excitations sitting on a uniform, or quasi‐uniform, background in a …

In this chapter, we discuss the oscillation conditions for semiconductor lasers and, then,
derive the rate equations, which are the starting points of the study of chaotic dynamics in …

Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers subjected to weak polarization-insensitive optical
feedback are studied experimentally and theoretically. We find that the feedback induces …

We perform a theoretical investigation of the polarization dynamics in a vertical-cavity
surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) subject to orthogonal optical injection, ie, the injected field …

Extreme intensity pulses sharing statistical properties similar to rogue waves have been
recently observed in a laser diode with phase-conjugate feedback [A. Karsaklian Dal Bosco …

Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) are as sensitive to optical feedback (OF) as
edge-emitting lasers as their much higher mirror reflectivity is compensated by the much …

The bifurcation diagram of a single-mode semiconductor laser subject to a delayed optical
feedback is examined by using numerical continuation methods. For this, we show how to …

We analyse theoretically the nonlinear dynamics of a single-mode laser diode subjected to
both optical injection and optical feedback. Detailed map**s of the laser dynamics reveal …

The square-wave response of edge-emitting diode lasers subject to a delayed polarization-
rotated optical feedback is studied in detail. Specifically, the polarization state of the …

We study the influence of delayed optical feedback from a short external cavity on the
emission dynamics of semiconductor lasers using the Lang and Kobayashi rate equation …
