Optically injected laser system: characterization of chaos, bifurcation, and control.
A single mode semiconductor laser subjected to optical injection, described by a set of three coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations, exhibiting chaos is considered. By means of a recurrence analysis, quantification of the strange attractor is made. Analytical studies of the system using asymptotic averaging technique, derive certain conditions describing the prediction of 1-->2 bifurcation, which have subsequently been verified on numerical simulation. Furthermore, the locus of points on the parameter phase space representing Hopf bifurcation has been derived. The problem of control of chaos by a new procedure based on adaptive stabilization is also addressed. The results of such control are shown explicitly. Though this analysis deals with a very specific set of equations, the overall features that come out of the study remains valid for almost all laser systems.
