This report presents a modern approach to the theoretical and experimental study of
complex nonlinear behavior of a semiconductor laser with optical injection—an example of a …

As recognized almost immediately following the design of the first laser [1, 2], lasers are
dynamical systems capable of exhibiting a wide variety of nonlinear dynamics. For many …

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 …

Optically injected semiconductor laser under period-one oscillation is investigated as a
source for photonic microwave transmission over fiber. The period-one nonlinear dynamics …

In this paper, the output characteristics of an oxide-confined AlGaAs-As quantum well
vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) under orthogonal optical injection are mapped …

The complete set of intrinsic dimensionless parameters of a packaged and fiber-pigtailed
distributed feedback (DFB) semiconductor laser are extracted from the non-linear …

The stability properties of an injected quantum cascade laser are investigated analytically on
the basis of current estimates of the laser parameters. We show that in addition to stable …

The modulation properties of optical injection-locked quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) are
investigated theoretically via a simple low dimensional rate equation model. It is found that …

Nine different experimental techniques for measuring the linewidth-enhancement factor
alpha are discussed and tested on a single 760-nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser …

Many security loopholes exist in quantum key distribution (QKD) due to the imperfections of
realistic devices. On the source side, the decoy-state method can defend against the most …
