Abstract This Review Article provides an overview of chaos in laser diodes by surveying
experimental achievements in the area and explaining the theory behind the phenomenon …

Complex phenomena in photonics, in particular, dynamical properties of semiconductor
lasers due to delayed coupling, are reviewed. Although considered a nuisance for a long …

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

The progress on laser feedback interferometry technology is reviewed. Laser feedback
interferometry is a demonstration of interferometry technology applying a laser reflected from …

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 …

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 …

For semiconductor lasers subject to a delayed optical feedback, branches of steady states
sequentially appear as the feedback rate is increased. But branches of time-periodic …

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 dynamics of a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser operating near threshold
and with isotropic optical feedback, using a model developed by San Miguel, Feng, and …

We study the interplay of polarization bistability, spontaneous emission noise and aperiodic
current modulation in vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs). We demonstrate the …
