Semiconductor Lasers [electronic resource] : Stability, Instability and Chaos / by Junji Ohtsubo.

Chaos in Laser Systems -- Semiconductor Lasers and Theory -- Theory of Optical Feedback in Semiconductor Lasers -- Dynamics of Semiconductor Lasers with Optical Feedback -- Dynamics in Semiconductor Lasers with Optical Injection -- Dynamics of Semiconductor Lasers with Optoelectronic Feedback and Modulation -- Instability and Chaos in Various Laser Structures -- Chaos Control and Applications -- Stabilization of Semiconductor Lasers -- Stability and Bistability in Feedback Interferometers, and Their Applications -- Chaos Synchronization in Semiconductor Lasers -- Chaotic Communications in Semiconductor Lasers.

This monograph describes fascinating recent progress in the field of chaos, stability and instability of semiconductor lasers. Applications and future prospects are discussed in detail. The book emphasizes the various dynamics induced in semiconductor lasers by optical and electronic feedback, optical injection, and injection current modulation. Recent results of both theoretical and experimental investigations are presented. Demonstrating applications of semiconductor laser chaos, control and noise, Semiconductor Lasers describes suppression and chaotic secure communications. For those who are interested in optics but not familiar with nonlinear systems, a brief introduction to chaos analysis is presented.
