Abstract
We numerically analyze the chaos complexity of a semiconductor laser with chirped fiber Bragg grating (CFBG) feedback by utilizing the permutation entropy (PE). Due to dispersion-induced nonlinearity of chirped grating, the time delay signature (TDS) can be suppressed or erased and the complexity enhancement is expected. The effects of laser parameters on PE as well as the TDS are studied in detail. The results show that for CFBG feedback, the TDS can be suppressed in the range of parameters where linewidth enhancement factor exceeds 3 and gain saturation coefficient is lower than 4×10−4μm3, and the complexity of chaotic signals is enhanced. As the feedback strength and bias current increase, the PE value under CFBG feedback increases linearly to a maximum of 0.994 and remains stable. Compared with mirror feedback, CFBG feedback can achieve increased complexity over a wider range of parameters. In addition, when the dispersion value of the chirped grating exceeds 2000 ps/nm, the frequency detuning range of -15 GHz to 10 GHz is beneficial to obtain chaotic signals with higher PE values.
