Pulse train interaction and control in a microcavity laser with delayed optical feedback

Abstract
En 中文
We report experimental and theoretical results on the pulse train dynamics in an excitable semiconductor microcavity laser with an integrated saturable absorber and delayed optical feedback. We show how short optical control pulses can trigger, erase, or retime regenerative pulse trains in the external cavity. Both repulsive and attractive interactions between pulses are observed, and are explained in terms of the internal dynamics of the carriers. A bifurcation analysis of a model consisting of a system of nonlinear delay differential equations shows that arbitrary sequences of coexisting pulse trains are very long transients towards weakly stable periodic solutions with equidistant pulses in the external cavity.
