Chaos and locking in a semiconductor laser due to external injection

We have analyzed the behavior of a semiconductor laser subjected to increasing external injection. Numerical simulations show the well-known nonlinear modulation and locking regimes, followed by an intermediate chaotic region that precedes definitive locking to the external source at significantly higher injection levels. >
