Unlocking Dynamical Diversity

Beschreibung

Applications of semiconductor lasers with optical feedback systemsare driving rapid developments in theoretical and experimentalresearch. The very broad wavelength-gain-bandwidth of semiconductorlasers combined with frequency-filtered, strong optical feedbackcreate the tunable, single frequency laser systems utilised intelecommunications, environmental sensing, measurement and control.Those with weak to moderate optical feedback lead to the chaoticsemiconductor lasers of private communication. This resourceillustrates the diversity of dynamic laser states and thetechnological applications thereof, presenting a timely synthesisof current findings, and providing the roadmap for exploiting theirfuture potential. * Provides theory-based explanations underpinned by a vast range ofexperimental studies on optical feedback, including conventional,phase conjugate and frequency- filtered feedback in standard,commercial and single-stripe semiconductor lasers * Includes the classic Lang-Kobayashi equation model, through tomore recent theory, with new developments in techniques for solvingdelay differential equations and bifurcation analysis * Explores developments in self-mixing interferometry to producesub-nanometre sensitivity in path-length measurements * Reviews tunable single frequency semiconductor lasers and systemsand their diverse range of applications in sensing and opticalcommunications * Emphasises the importance of synchronised chaotic semiconductorlasers using optical feedback and private communicationssystems Unlocking Dynamical Diversity illustrates all theory using realworld examples gleaned from international cutting-edge research.Such an approach appeals to industry professionals working insemiconductor lasers, laser physics and laser applications and isessential reading for researchers and postgraduates in thesefields.
