We report the first experimental observation of multistable states in a single-longitudinal
mode semiconductor ring laser. We show how the operation of the device can be steered to …

The classical description of laser field buildup, based on time-averaged photon statistics of
Class A lasers, rests on a statistical mixture of coherent and incoherent photons. Here …

Since the development of micro-and nanolasers, the question of laser threshold has been
subject to debate. Different definitions have been used to try and establish its occurrence …

Lasers distinguish themselves for the high coherence and high brightness of their radiation,
features which have been exploited both in fundamental research and a broad range of …

Using an integrated colliding-pulse mode-locked semiconductor laser, we demonstrate the
existence of nonlinear dynamics and chaos in photonic integrated circuits (PICs) by …

The pivotal role played by semiconductor lasers in telecommunications and data storage
applications requires dealing with time lag and relaxation oscillations, which limit bandwidth …

Spontaneous photon bursts are observed in the output collected from a mesoscale
semiconductor-based laser near the lasing threshold. Their appearance is compared to …

We show that a topological investigation of the phase space of a semiconductor ring laser
can be used to devise switching schemes which are alternative to optical pulse injection of …

Nanolasers have steadily gained interest in the past years thanks to considerable
technological advances. Interest in very small lasers dates back to the early 1980's and …

The threshold properties of very small lasers (down to the nanoscale) are a topic of active
research in light of continuous progress in nanofabrication. With the help of a simple rate …
