Extreme events in a broad-area semiconductor laser with coherent injection

Cristina Rimoldi, Mansour Eslami, Franco Prati +1

Spatiotemporal extreme events are interesting phenomena, both from a fundamental point of view, as manifestations of complexity in dynamical systems, and for their possible applica…

2D optical rogue waves affected by transverse carrier diffusion in broad-area semiconductor lasers with a saturable absorber

Kamel Talouneh, Reza Kheradmand, Giovanna Tissoni +1

Statistics and dynamics of 2D rogue waves in a broad-area semiconductor laser with an intracavity saturable absorber are numerically investigated under the effect of transverse car…

Extreme events in forced oscillatory media in 0, 1 and 2 dimensions

S. Barland, M. Brambilla, L. Columbo +14

One of the open questions in the field of optical rogue waves is the relevance of the number of spatial dimensions in which waves propagate. Here we review recent results on extrem…

Hopping and emergent dynamics of optical localized states in a trapping potential

B. Garbin, J. Javaloyes, G. Tissoni +1

The position and motion of localized states of light in propagative geometries can be controlled via an adequate parameter modulation. Here, we show theoretically and experimentall…

Extreme events induced by collisions in a forced semiconductor laser

Pierre Walczak, Cristina Rimoldi, Francois Gustave +5

We report on the experimental study of an optically driven multimode semiconductor laser with 1~m cavity length. We observed a spatiotemporal regime where real time measurements re…

Spatio-temporal extreme events in a laser with a saturable absorber

Cristina Rimoldi, Stéphane Barland, Franco Prati +1

We study extreme events occurring in the transverse section of the field emitted by a broad-area semiconductor laser with a saturable absorber. The spatio-temporal events o…

Refractory period of an excitable semiconductor laser with optical injection

Bruno Garbin, Axel Dolcemascolo, Franco Prati +3

Injection-locked semiconductor lasers can be brought to a neuron-like excitable regime when parameters are set close to the unlocking transition. Here we study experimentally the r…

Dissipative phase solitons in semiconductor lasers

François Gustave, Lorenzo Columbo, Giovanna Tissoni +5

We experimentally demonstrate the existence of non dispersive solitary waves associated with a 2 phase rotation in a strongly multimode ring semiconductor laser with coherent fo…

Observation of electro-activated localized structures in broad area VCSELs

J. Parravicini, M. Brambilla, L. Columbo +5

We demonstrate experimentally the electro-activation of a localized optical structure in a coherently driven broad-area vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) operated belo…

Topological solitons as addressable phase bits in a driven laser

B. Garbin, J. Javaloyes, G. Tissoni +1

Optical localized states are usually defined as self-localized bistable packets of light which exist as independently controllable optical intensity pulses either in the longitudin…

A hybrid soliton-based system: generation and steering of cavity solitons by means of photorefractive soliton electro-activation

Lorenzo Columbo, Carlo Rizza, Massimo Brambilla +2

We propose a hybrid soliton-based system consisting of a centrosymmetric photorefractive crystal, supporting photorefractive solitons, coupled to a vertical cavity surface emitting…
