Synchronization on excitable pulses in optically injected semiconductor lasers

We report the first experimental observation of multi-pulses excitability in a 1.55 μm injection-locked bulk semi-conductor laser. Several temporal waveforms are presented showing different excitability orders. We complete these observations by drawing the excitability areas in the map "detuning-injected power" of the injected laser. We show for the first time synchronization on excitable pulses between a receiver and a transmitter, using a cascade of optically injected systems (a master, a transmitter and a receiver).
