Abstract

This paper reports on the numerical analysis, control of coexisting attractors and microcontroller-based design of current modulated edge emitting semiconductor laser (CMEESL). The stability of equilibrium points of solitary edge emitting semiconductor laser found is investigated. By varying the amplitude of modulation current density, CMEESL displays periodic behaviors, period-doubling to chaotic behavior, bistability and coexistence between limit cycle and chaotic attractors. The coexistence between chaotic and limit cycle attractors is destroyed and controlled to a desired monostable trajectory by means of the linear augmentation method. In addition, a microcontroller-based circuit is also designed to indicate that CMEESL can be used in real applications. Microcontroller-based circuit outputs and numerical analysis results confirm each other.
