Bifurcation structure of a swept source laser
2020, Kovalev, Anton V., Dmitriev, Pavel S., Vladimirov, Andrei G., Pimenov, Alexander, Huyet, Guillaume, Viktorov, Evgeniy A.
We numerically analyze a delay differential equation model of a short-cavity semiconductor laser with an intracavity frequency swept filter and reveal a complex bifurcation structure responsible for the asymmetry of the output characteristics of this laser. We show that depending on the direction of the frequency sweep of a narrowband filter, there exist two bursting cycles determined by different parts of a continuous-wave solutions branch.
Bistability and hysteresis in an optically injected two-section semiconductor laser
2014, Pimenov, Alexander, Viktorov, Evgeniy A., Hegarty, Stephen P., Habruseva, Tatiana, Huyet, Guillaume, Rachinskii, Dmitrii, Vladimirov, Andrei G.
The effect of coherent single frequency injection on two-section semiconductor lasers is studied numerically using a model based on a set of delay differential equations. The existence of bistability between different CW and non-stationary regimes of operation is demonstrated in the case of sufficiently large linewidth enhancement factors.
