Complex dynamics of an optically injected semiconductor laser: bifurcation theory and experiment

Sebastian Wieczorek, T.B. Simpson, Bernd Krauskopf, D. Lenstra

Abstract

In this paper unprecedented agreement is reported between a theoretical two-dimensional bifurcation diagram and the corresponding experimental stability map of an optically injected semiconductor laser over a large range of relevant injection parameter values. The bifurcation diagram encompasses both local and global bifurcations mapping out regions of regular, chaotic and multistable behavior in considerable detail.
