Abstract In this work, we utilize three parallel reservoir computers using semiconductor lasers with optical feedback and light injection to model radar probe signals with delays. Three radar probe signals are generated by driving lasers constructed by a three-element lase array with self-feedback. The response lasers are implemented also by a three-element lase array with both delay-time feedback and optical injection, which are utilized as nonlinear nodes to realize the reservoirs. We show that each delayed radar probe signal can well be predicted and to synchronize with its corresponding trained reservoir, even when there exist parameter mismatches between the response laser array and the driving laser array. Based on this, the three synchronous probe signals are utilized for ranging to three targets, respectively, using Hilbert transform. It is demonstrated that the relative errors for ranging can be very small and less than 0.6%. Our findings show that optical reservoir computing provides an effective way for applications of target ranging.

The important role of parameters in master laser with optical feedback for the elimination of time-delay (TD) signature in semiconductor laser subject to chaotic optical injection is investigated systemically. The experimental results show that TD signature suppressed chaotic signals can be credibly generated by increasing the feedback strength of the master laser, which is quite different from the trends observed in semiconductor laser (SL) with optical feedback. Systematically numerical analysis is also carried out as a validation, and it is shown that with low bias current and strong feedback strength, parameter regions contributing to successful TD suppression are much wider. Furthermore, it is shown that the influence of frequency detuning in TD concealment will change with the increase of feedback strength. All the numerical results are in perfect accordance with experimental observation.

AbstractInGaN multi-quantum-well (MQW) structure laser diodes with A10.14Ga0.86N/GaN modulation doped strained-layer superlattice cladding layers grown on an epitaxially laterally overgrown GaN substrate were demonstrated to have an estimated lifetime of more than 10,000 hours under continuous-wave operation at 20°C. Under operation at a high temperature of 50°C, the lifetime was longer than 1,000 hours. The activation energy of the lifetime was estimated to be 0.5 eV. With the operating current increasing above the threshold, a self-pulsation with a high frequency of 3.5 GHz was observed. The relative intensity noise (RIN) less than -145 dB/Hz was obtained even at the 6% optical feedback using the high-frequency modulation of 600 MHz. The threshold carrier density of the InGaN MQW-structure LDs was estimated to be 3 × 1019/cm3 using a carrier lifetime of 1.8 ns.

AbstractIn this paper we summarize the recent results on nonlinear dynamics of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) which are bearing the fingerprints of the particular polarization properties of VCSELs. Due to the surface emission and cylindrical symmetry, VCSELs lack strong polarization anisotropy and may undergo polarization switching and polarization mode-hopping. This provides new specificities to the rich nonlinear dynamics induced in VCSELs by an external perturbation. We unveil both experimentally and theoretically these new specificities for the case of optical feedback, optical injection, and unidirectional synchronization between VCSELs.
