Abstract
Semiconductor lasers with optical feedback present a regime in which i rregular dropout events are observed (low-frequency fluctuations). Thi s phenomenon has been interpreted in terms of a purely deterministic m odel. Recently, it was proposed that these lasers behave as an excitab le medium and that the low frequency fluctuations are anticipated by n oise. We study analytically and numerically the statistics of the firi ng processes predicted by this dynamical scenario and discuss how it c ompares with the results reported in the literature.
