Suppression of time delay signatures of chaotic output in a semiconductor laser with double optical feedback

Opt Express. 2009 Oct 26;17(22):20124-33. doi: 10.1364/OE.17.020124.

Abstract

We experimentally and numerically demonstrate the time delay (TD) signature suppression of chaotic output in a double optical feedback semiconductor laser (DOF-SL) system. Two types of TD signature suppression are demonstrated by adjusting the lengths and the feedback power ratios of the two external cavities. One can significantly eliminate all TD signatures of the DOF-SL system and the corresponding power spectrum distribution becomes quite smooth and flat, the other suppresses one of two TD signatures and remains another one.
