Semiconductor lasers coupled face-to-face

We show that for a large coupling time, semiconductor lasers coupled face-to-face exhibit a fast dynamics and a slow stairs-like periodic modulation. The effect can be explained by the nonlinear response of semiconductor lasers to external injection and a breakup of subnanosecond synchronization.
