title: Optimization and stability boundaries for the synchronization of semiconductor lasers with external optical feedback.
abstract: We perform a stability and optimization analysis for the synchronization of unidirectionally coupled external-cavity semiconductor lasers. Using rigorous stability criteria, we qualitatively derive the boundaries of the high-quality synchronization basin. The underlying influence of Hopf bifurcations on the stability of the synchronization manifold is also investigated.
