Chaos and its control in semiconductor laser with delayed negative optoelectronic feedback

We reveal theoretically chaos and its control in a semiconductor laser with delayed negative optoelectronic feedback. Under nonperiodic or sinusoidal period optoelectronic current, the semiconductor laser exhibits rich nonlinear dynamics. For a given coupling constant, chaos is shown in a semiconductor laser directly injected by external light. For a photoelectric delayed negative-feedback scheme with sinusoidal period optoelectronic current, the laser can be controlled in single-periodic, dual-periodic, multi-periodic states, and even chaos. The results also illustrate what we think to be a new method to generate various period states in the chaos system.
