“…Monolithically integrated coupled-cavity devices were considered for applications such as optical bistability (Lasher, 1964) or amplification (Kosonocky and Cornely, 1968). Cleaved-coupled-cavity lasers, also called C 3 lasers, were proposed in the early 1980s.…”

Complex phenomena in photonics, in particular, dynamical properties of semiconductor lasers due to delayed coupling, are reviewed. Although considered a nuisance for a long time, these phenomena now open interesting perspectives. Semiconductor laser systems represent excellent test beds for the study of nonlinear delay-coupled systems, which are of fundamental relevance in various areas. At the same time delay-coupled lasers provide opportunities for photonic applications. In this review an introduction into the properties of single and two delay-coupled lasers is followed by an extension to network motifs and small networks. A particular emphasis is put on emerging complex behavior, deterministic chaos, synchronization phenomena, and application of these properties that range from encrypted communication and fast random bit sequence generators to bioinspired information processing.

“…[1][2][3][4] These quenched laser devices can be monolithically integrated in a variety of laser heterostructure including that for strained and unstrained quantum well lasers, and vertical cavity surface emitting lasers ͑VCSELs͒. These optically quenched lasers have myriad applications for all-optical high-speed switching.…”

A model is presented for optically controlling the gain of a semiconductor laser by introducing photons from a second coherent source into the side of the laser. We find that the threshold current of the laser increases in direct proportion to the overlap between the two modes and the photon density from the coherent source. An easy-to-use, closed-form expression relates the optical power emitted from the laser to the bias and threshold currents.

Two laser diodes of about equal length have been coupled by conventional optics. Threshold reduction of the coupled system compared to the thresholds of the isolated diodes have been observed. From these measurements the coupling coefficient has been calculated. The cooperative behaviour of the coupled diodes is confirmed by an increase in light intensities and a decrease of the halfwidth of the light pulses observed on both diodes if they are simultaneously excited. The spectral measurements have shown that in the coupled mode both diodes emit the same spectrum.Zwei Laserdioden wurden gekoppelt, indem mittels konventioneller Optik die beiden aktiven Zonen aufeinander abgebildet wurden. Der Kopplungskoeffizient des Systems wurde abgeschiitzt aus der bei simultaner Anregung der gekoppelten Dioden aufgetretenen Schwellstromerniedrigung. Neben der Erniedrigung der Schwelle wurde in beiden Dioden eine Zunahme der ausgekoppelten Lichtleistung sowie eine Abnahme der Halbwertsbreite der Lichtpulse beobachtet. Spektrale Messungen zeigten, daB die Emission der beiden gekoppelten Dioden identisch ist.
