Dependence of the nonlinear dynamics of the optoelectronic feedback semiconductor lasers on the continuous variation route of delay feedback time

The dynamics of a semiconductor laser with delayed optoelectronic feedback are theoretically investigated when the delay time is continuously varied. The results show that, for a fixed feedback time, the output dynamics state of the semiconductor laser with delayed optoelectronic feedback is dependent on the continuous variation route of delay feedback time; the bistability can be obtained for a given varying range of the delay feedback time. Further more, by adding modulation signal, the characteristics of the bistability states become more complex, and some new types of dynamic bistability states are observed.
