Abstract :
A numerical study of the influence of optical feedback on the dynamics of high-bit-rate mode-locked laser diodes is presented. A wide variety of dynamic regimes is discovered, which is qualitatively different to both single-frequency and self-pulsing lasers, with the dynamics different in resonant and nonresonant cases. The relation of the findings to the recent experimental results is discussed.
