    Delay-induced dynamics and jitter reduction of passively mode-locked semiconductor lasers subject to optical feedback
    (Bristol : IOP, 2012) Otto, C.; Lüdge, K.; Vladimirov, A.G.; Wolfrum, M.; Schöll, E.
    We study a passively mode-locked semiconductor ring laser subject to optical feedback from an external mirror. Using a delay differential equation model for the mode-locked laser, we are able to systematically investigate the resonance effects of the inter-spike interval time of the laser and the roundtrip time of the light in the external cavity (delay time) for intermediate and long delay times. We observe synchronization plateaus following the ordering of the well-known Farey sequence. Our results show that in agreement with the experimental results a reduction of the timing jitter is possible if the delay time is chosen close to an integer multiple of the inter-spike interval time of the laser without external feedback. Outside the main resonant regimes the timing jitter is drastically increased by the feedback.

    Dynamics of micro-integrated external-cavity diode lasers: Simulations, analysis and experiments
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2014) Radziunas, Mindaugas; Tronciu, Vasile Z.; Luvsandamdin, Erdenetsetseg; Kürbis, Christian; Wicht, Andreas; Wenzel, Hans
    This paper reports the results of numerical and experimental investigations of the dynamics of an external cavity diode laser device composed of a semiconductor laser and a distant Bragg grating, which provides an optical feedback. Due to the influence of the feedback, this system can operate at different dynamic regimes. The traveling wave model is used for simulations and analysis of the nonlinear dynamics in the considered laser device. Based on this model, a detailed analysis of the optical modes is performed, and the stability of the stationary states is discussed. It is shown, that the results obtained from the simulation and analysis of the device are in good agreement with experimental findings.
