Abstract

The stability of the stationary state and periodic oscillations of the radiation intensity of the dual-wavelength vertical external cavity surface-emitting laser is analyzed. It is demonstrated that the stationary state is always stable for the laser with independent active areas that contain quantum dots of different depths. A map of dynamic regimes with the values of parameters that correspond to the cw lasing, periodic oscillations of intensity, and complicated dynamics (quasi-periodic or chaotic regimes) is constructed for the laser with coupled active areas. The dynamics of the laser radiation in the quasi-periodic regime is numerically simulated. It is demonstrated that relatively slow variations in the amplitude with characteristic times of several or several tens of microseconds are typical of the short laser pulses that are formed at time intervals of tens of picoseconds. The period of the pulse train is approximately equal to the round-trip time of the external laser cavity.
