Chaos Synchronization and Spontaneous Symmetry-Breaking in Symmetrically Delay-Coupled Semiconductor Lasers

TL;DR: The results give evidence for subnanosecond coupling-induced synchronized chaotic dynamics in conjunction with a spontaneous symmetry-breaking, and a well-defined time lag between the dynamics of the two lasers, and an asymmetric physical role of the subsystems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intensity instabilities of semiconductor lasers under current modulation, external light injection, and delayed feedback

TL;DR: Various scenarios, such as period doubling, frequency locking, quasiperiodicity, and intermittency, are observed experimentally as functions of the control parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fast Pulsing and Chaotic Itinerancy with a Drift in the Coherence Collapse of Semiconductor Lasers

TL;DR: The first experimental observation of irregular picosecond light pulses within the coherence collapse of a semiconductor laser subject to delayed moderate optical feedback is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Delay dynamics of semiconductor lasers with short external cavities: bifurcation scenarios and mechanisms.

TL;DR: By varying the external cavity phase, this work finds a cyclic scenario leading from stable intensity emission via periodic behavior to regular and irregular pulse packages, and finally back to stable emission.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synchronization of delay-coupled oscillators: a study of semiconductor lasers.

TL;DR: Novel delay-induced scenarios leading from optical frequency locking to successive states of periodic intensity pulsations are observed and theoretical treatment reveals the universal character of the findings for delay-coupled systems.
