Abstract
We experimentally investigate the complex dynamics of a multi-mode quantum-dot semiconductor laser with time-delayed optical feedback. We examine a two-dimensional bifurcation diagram of the quantum-dot laser as a comprehensive dynamical map by changing the injection current and feedback strength. We found that the bifurcation diagram contains two different parameter regions of low-frequency fluctuations. The power-dropout dynamics of the low-frequency fluctuations are observed in the sub-GHz region, which is considerably faster than the conventional low-frequency fluctuations in the MHz region. Comparing the dynamics of quantum-dot laser with those of single- and multi-mode quantum-well semiconductor lasers reveals that the fast low-frequency fluctuation dynamics are unique characteristics of quantum-dot lasers with time-delayed optical feedback.
