Mutually induced chaos in practically-isolated semiconductor lasers

Abstract

A model to study isolated lasers that interact in the most complicated manner and becomes chaotic was developed. The model considered two end-to-end coupled lasers divided with a coupling mirror of transmission. Instabilities and chaos were expected when two conditions were satisfied simultaneously in coupled laser. First, the intermode frequency should be close to resonant with the relaxation oscillation frequency providing strong coupling of the lasing field and active media. Secondly a strong coupling between the lasing modes was also required. It was found that chaotic oscillations interrupt the smooth transition from coupled to totally independent operation in semiconductor lasers.
