Av. Naumenko et al., BIAS CURRENT IMPULSIVE FEEDBACK-CONTROL OF NONLINEAR DYNAMICS IN EXTERNAL-CAVITY LASER-DIODES, Electronics Letters, 34(2), 1998, pp. 181-182
The authors demonstrate that nonlinear and chaotic dynamics in externa
l cavity laser diodes can be controlled by the use of optimised impuls
ive delayed feedback applied via the laser drive current. Attention is
given to practical constraints arising from technical delay in applic
ation of the control signal. The rapid convergence to a targetted dyna
mical stale of the laser is graphically shown by the diminishing ampli
tude of the required control pulses.
