Semiconductor Lasers. Stability, Instability and Chaos
Chaos research in laser physics, especially in semiconductor lasers, has developed further even after completion of the first edition of this book in the late summer of 2004, and it is still growing rapidly. For example, various forms of chaotic dynamics have been applied in newly developed semiconductor lasers, such as in vertical-cavity surface-emitting semiconductor lasers and broad-area semiconductor lasers. Chaotic dynamics plays an important role in these new lasers, even for their solitary oscillations, and control of the dynamics is currently an important issue for practical applications. Another significant advance has been made in the area of chaotic optical secure communications. Chaotic secure communications using existing public optical communications links have been tested, and successful results have been obtained. In this second edition, I have filled in the gaps in the explanation of chaotic laser dynamics in the previous edition, and I have also added several important topics that have been developed recently. In particular, a new chapter on laser stabilizations has been added, and a number of misprints in the first edition have been corrected. I believe this book will be of interest not only to researchers in the field of laser chaos, but also to those working in nonlinear science and technology.
