Abstract

The effect of the phase conjugate coupling on routes to chaos (mainly stable, sustained pulsating oscillations, evolves into double-period oscillation and quasi-periodic routes) in incoherent optical feedback semiconductor quantum dot laser is theoretically investigated using bifurcation diagrams, time series, attractors and inter-spike interval probability distribution. The parameter values of the coupling strength (η) and delay time (τ) (mirrors respond as fast and slow-response photorefractive mirrors) are modified to examine the sensitivity of routes to chaos with variation in the phase-conjugate mirrors. Both routes are found to be highly sensitive to the phase conjugate coupling effect. Instability and homoclinic chaotic can be observed in such a system.
