Routes to Chaos of a Semiconductor Laser Subjected to External Optical Feedback: A Review

This paper reviews experimental investigations of the route to chaos of a semiconductor laser subjected to optical feedback from a distant reflector. When the laser is biased close to threshold, as the feedback strength is increased, an alternation between stable continuous wave (CW) behavior and ir...
