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 …

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 …

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 …

A novel chaotic lidar (CLIDAR) system that utilizes a chaotic laser as the light source is
proposed and studied. In CLIDAR, the detection and ranging are realized by correlating the …

In this paper a tutorial of optical injection locking of semiconductor lasers is given, with
particular emphasis on the enhancement of system parameters. Furthermore, physical …

Fifty years after the invention of the laser diode, and forty years after the butterfly effect
signified the unpredictability of deterministic chaos, it is commonly believed that a laser …

External optical injection of semiconductor lasers changes the resonant coupling
characteristics between the circulating optical field in the laser cavity and the free carriers …

We present experimental evidence for the synchronization of two semiconductor lasers
exhibiting chaotic emission on subnanosecond time scales. The transmitter system consists …

Crutchfield et al. observed that noise truncates period-doubling cascade and induces chaos.
To date, however, very little low-dimensional chaos has been unambiguously identified …

In this paper, major photonic microwave generation and modulation methods are described.
Their advantages and limitations are identified and compared through the analysis of the …
