L. Larger et al., CHAOTIC OSCILLATOR IN WAVELENGTH - A NEW SETUP FOR INVESTIGATING DIFFERENTIAL-DIFFERENCE EQUATIONS DESCRIBING NONLINEAR DYNAMICS, IEEE journal of quantum electronics, 34(4), 1998, pp. 594-601
A generator of chaos in wavelength is reported, It is formed by a wave
length-tunable laser diode with a time delayed feedback loop in which
a wavelength nonlinearlinear device is introduced, The dynamical regim
e of wavelength emission thus obtained is ruled by a differential diff
erence equation, Experimental results are compared with numerical simu
lations and with previous theoretical and experimental results.
