What is Mapping the Nonlinear Dynamics of a Distributed Feedback Semiconductor Laser Subject to External Optical Injection about?
Single-mode semiconductor lasers can exhibit stable, bistable, periodic, quasiperiodic, and chaotic output characteristics when subjected to monochromatic, near-resonant external optical injection. Experimental measurements of the spectral characteristics of a distributed feedback laser diode under external optical injection identify the various nonlinear output characteristics. Single-mode operation is maintained in all cases. The output characteristics are mapped as a function of the strength of the optical injection and the detuning between the injection frequency and the free-running frequency of the unperturbed laser. A comparison of the observed characteristics with the predictions of a coupled rate-equation model shows quantitative agreement over a wide range of injection characteristics. The model shows that the mode hopping previously observed in Fabry-Perot laser diodes subject to external optical injection can be explained using a simple coupling of the longitudinal modes through the free carriers of the gain medium.
