Synchronization of complex spatio-temporal dynamics with lasers
Jules Mercadier, Stefan Bittner, Marc Sciamanna
Synchronization is the spontaneous alignment of the dynamics of weakly-coupled oscillators. In addition to temporal dynamics like periodic and chaotic oscillations, also the spatio…
Polarization and tranverse mode nonlinear dynamics in a multimode VCSEL
Yohann G. Sanvert, Jules Mercadier, Stefan Bittner +2
We theoretically analyze the nonlinear dynamics and routes to chaos in a multimode vertical cavity surface-emitting laser (MM-VCSEL) in free-running operation. Including higher ord…
Spontaneous phase locking in a broad-area semiconductor laser
S. Bittner, M. Sciamanna
Broad-area semiconductor lasers are employed in many high-power applications, however, their spatio-temporal dynamics is complex and intrinsically unstable due to the interaction o…
Chaos from a free-running broad-area VCSEL
Jules Mercadier, Stefan Bittner, Damien Rontani +1
We experimentally report on the detection of chaos from a free-running commercial broad-area VCSEL without the need for external perturbation such as optical feedback, injection or…
