Bifurcation, Locking and Quasi-Period Synchronization in a Round-Coupling Laser System

We present a round-coupling laser system with two inverse injection semiconductor lasers and discuss nonlinear dynamics in the two lasers. We make an analysis in locking, synchronization and reverse synchronization of the two lasers. We find that the injection-coupling level determines dynamics and stability of the two lasers. Locking critical condition is successfully predicted. Quasi-period and dynamics in the two lasers are investigated by controlling the current, detuning and injection levels. Many bifurcate diagrams are illustrated via varying the controlling parameters. A route to chaos after bifurcation and quasi-period is described for the two lasers.
