Abstract
The dynamics of a semiconductor-laser array whose individual elements are c oupled in a global way through an external mirror is numerically analyzed. A coherent in-phase solution is seen to be preferred by the system at inter mediate values of the feedback-coupling strength. At low values of this par ameter, a strong amplification of the spontaneous emission noise is observe d. A tendency towards chaos synchronization is also observed at large value s of the feedback strength.
