Abstract
The effect of coupling on two high frequency modulated semiconductor lasers is numerically studied. The phase diagrams and bifurcation diagrams are dr awn. As the coupling constant is increased the system goes from chaotic to periodic behavior through a reverse period doubling sequence. The Lyapunov exponent is calculated to characterize chaotic and periodic regions. (C) 19 99 Elsevier Science B.V.
