Abstract
We study sudden changes in the chaotic output of an optically injected semi conductor laser. For what is believed to be the first time in this system, we identify bifurcations that cause abrupt changes between different chaoti c outputs, or even sudden jumps between chaotic and periodic output. These sudden chaotic transitions involve attractors that exist for large regions in parameter space. (C) 2001 Optical Society of America.
