Analysis of chaos generated by a modulated self-pulsating laser diode
Summary:
We have calculated the Lyapunov exponents and plotted
bifurcation diagrams for a self pulsating laser diode under
periodic current modulation. Different dynamics are obtained
dependent on the modulation depth and frequency of the drive
current. We show that it is very difficult to distinguish between
regimes of high periodicity and true chaos. However by introducing
a return map relating the pulse peak height and the inter pulse
interval clear differences are observed between these regimes.
This has consequences for the use of chaotic self-pulsating laser
diodes for data encryption applications.

Dynamical Analysis of Self-pulsation and Chaos in Semiconductor Laser Models
Abstract:
Chaotic semiconductor laser diodes can be used to precipitate secure
communications schemes via synchronisation of two such lasers.
We study various sets of ordinary differential equations that are used
to model such semiconductor laser diodes.
We begin by extending the bifurcation analysis of Dubbeldam and Krauskopf
to dimensionless equations derived from the Yamada model with terms
representative of spontaneous emission and diffusion effects included.
We show that the bifurcation diagram changes dramatically at a
certain diffusion level, but that the region of self-pulsation
is still delineated by the Hopf bifurcation curve.
Other models which include recombination effects are also considered.
The excitable region of the parameter space of the dimensionless equations
derived from the Yamada model with diffusion effects neglected is considered,
and approximations of the excitability threshold are derived.
Finally, chaotic behaviour arising from sinusoidal modulation of the
pump current is analysed.
Lyapunov exponent calculations are supplemented with a return map
analysis in order to distinguish between periodic motion and chaos
as the modulation depth and frequency are varied.
The presence or otherwise of chaos is related to the bifurcation analysis
and dominant resonant frequency of the unmodulated laser diode.
