In this paper, synchronization of chaotic oscillations in semiconductor lasers by optical injection in a transmitter-receiver configuration is studied numerically. A chaotic signal is generated from a semiconductor laser with optical feedback in the transmitter and is injected into the receiver laser without optical feedback. We examined the conditions of chaotic synchronization in the system. ...

P A P ER Abstract The spaser offers an opportunity to achieve coherent optical sources at nanometer scales due to the extreme confinement of optical fields. However, achievement of spasers with directional propagation in the visible wavelength region remains a challenge thus far, owing to the unique optical feedback mechanism and large dissipative losses of the metal cavity. Here, we experiment...

Semiconductor lasers are very different from other lasers because refraction variation can't be avoided when the gain is changed. Refraction variation can be introduced the theory of semiconductor laser by a dimensional parameter. This parameter is called linewidth enhancement factor (LEF). The value of LEF is very important for many aspects of laser behavior. The LEF characterizes the linewidt...

Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) are a new type of semiconductor laser that have emerged as an economical alternative to conventional edge-emitting lasers. Anisotropies within these lasers, such as birefringence and dichroism, cause their optical output to favor one of two orthogonal linear polarizations; however, other optical outputs such as elliptical polarization and polariz...

Future space based deployable telescopes will be subject to non-atmospheric disturbances. Jitter and optical misalignment on a spacecraft can be caused by mechanical noise of the spacecraft, and settling after maneuvers. The introduction of optical misalignment and jitter can reduce the performance of an optical system resulting in pointing error and contributing to higher order aberrations. Ad...

This paper describes the theory and real-time implementation using an active camera platform of a method of planar trajectory recovery, and of the use of those trajectories to facilitate prediction over delays in the visual feedback loop. Image-based position and velocity demands for tracking are generated by detecting and segmenting optical flow within a central region of the image, and a proj...

This diploma thesis deals with physical effects in the light output of a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) diode caused by external optical feedback. Such feedback might be induced by reflections from the beginning of a optical waveguide due to a connected refractive index step. The thesis also investigates the influence on waveguide coupled power on opto-electronic waveguide board...

The prediction of our actions and their interaction with the external environment is critical for sensorimotor adaptation. For instance, during prism exposure, which deviates laterally our visual field, we progressively correct movement errors by combining sensory feedback with forward model sensory predictions. However, very often we project our actions to the external environment without phys...

In this paper the transient control using effect of steady and relaxation oscillation in optical fiber based on neural networks and hardware implementation is described. The inherent optical feedback by the backscattered Stokes wave in optical fiber leads to instabilities in the form of optical chaos. The controlling of chaos induced transient instability in Brillouin-active fiber based smart s...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the analysis of linear quantum optical networks. It provides a systematic approach to the construction a model for a given quantum network in terms of a system of quantum stochastic differential equations. This corresponds to a classical state space model. The linear quantum optical networks under consideration consist of interconnections between optical c...
