Impact of light polarization on chaos synchronization of mutually coupled VCSELs.

چکیده
We demonstrate that dynamical polarization switching in mutually coupled vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) has a profound impact on the chaotic dynamics in the system drastically improving the in-phase (anti-phase) synchronization between the modes of the two VCSELs with the same (orthogonal) polarizations. Furthermore, an exchange of the leader-laggard role is observed with the higher (lower) frequency VCSEL being the leader for lower (higher) coupling strength.

We experimentally and numerically observe synchronization of chaos in two mutually coupled vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) with time delay. We observe in-phase and antiphase synchronization of polarization-resolved chaotic temporal wave forms under the condition of wavelength matching. We investigate leader-laggard relationship between two chaotic wave forms of mutually coupled...
متن کاملObservation of the synchronization of chaos in mutually injected vertical-cavity surface-emitting semiconductor lasers.
Synchronization of chaotic oscillations was observed in mutually injected vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) in a low-frequency fluctuation regime. In the experiments, only one of the two polarization modes (x mode) showed synchronized oscillations, and the other polarization components (y mode) were synchronized as a result of the effect of anticorrelated oscillations that is a c...
متن کاملSynchronization of Mutually Versus Unidirectionally Coupled Chaotic Semiconductor Lasers
Synchronization dynamics of mutually coupled chaotic semiconductor lasers are investigated experimentally and compared to identical synchronization of unidirectionally coupled lasers. Mutual coupling shows high quality synchronization in a broad area of self-feedback and coupling strengths parameters phase-space. It is found to be tolerant to significant parameter mismatch which in case of unid...
متن کاملThe Split Density Model: A unified Description of Polarization and Array Dynamics for Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers
We present a generalized rate equation model for the array and polarization dynamics of general one or two dimensional arrays of Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSELs). It is demonstrated that our model includes both the previous theory for edge emitting laser arrays and the theory of polarization dynamics in quantum well VCSELs in a single unified description. The model is based on t...
متن کاملInfluence of Uniform Noise on Two Light-Controlled oscillators
We study the influence of uniform noise on a system of two lightcontrolled oscillators (LCOs) under three different configurations: uncoupled, master–slave and mutually coupled LCOs. We find that noise can induce desynchronization via a phase transition-like phenomenon depending on the noise intensity and the characteristics of the LCOs. keywords: synchronization; coupled oscillators; optoelect...
