Abstract

We investigate dynamics and bifurcations of a single-mode semiconductor laser subject to phase-conjugate feedback near the locking region. The system is described by rate equations which are a three-dimensional system with a delay. With tools that go much beyond mere simulation, we find and follow steady states regardless of their stability and compute unstable manifolds of saddle points. Furthermore, we identify heteroclinic bifurcations, which turn out to be responsible for bistability and excitability at the locking boundaries. ©2002 The American Physical Society.
