Abstract

We present a comprehensive study of the emission dynamics of semiconductor lasers induced by delayed optical feedback from a short external cavity. Our analysis includes experiments, numerical modeling, and bifurcation analysis by means of computing unstable manifolds. This provides a unique overview and a detailed insight into the dynamics of this technologically important system and into the mechanisms leading to delayed feedback instabilities. By varying the external cavity phase, we find a cyclic scenario leading from stable intensity emission via periodic behavior to regular and irregular pulse packages, and finally back to stable emission. We reveal the underlying interplay of localized dynamics and global bifurcations.
