Abstract
We present a detailed comparison of the bifurcation scenarios predicted by single-mode and multimode semiconductor laser rate equation models under la rge amplitude injection current modulation. The influence of the gain model on the predicted dynamics is investigated. Calculations of the dependence of the time averaged longitudinal mode intensities on modulation frequency are compared with experiments performed on an AlxGa1-xAs Fabry-Perot semico nductor laser.
