1:Nonlinear dynamics of quantum dot lasers: optical injection and feedback

Self-organized semiconductor quantum-dot (QD) lasers are quantitatively modelled using nonlinear rate equations with microscopically calculated carrier-carrier scattering processes between the carrier reservoir and ground and excited state confined QD levels. In particular, the complex dynamics and bifurcation scenarios of a QD laser subjected to delayed optical feedback or optical injection are investigated.
