Abstract

The nonlinear dynamics of semiconductor lasers have been thoroughly studied in recent years. These complex dynamical characteristics, which range from narrow-linewidth oscillation to broadband chaos, open up the opportunity for many novel applications, such as chaotic communications, chaotic lidar, chaotic radar, photonic microwave generation, dual-frequency precision radar/lidar, all-optical AM-to-FM conversion, and single-sideband radio-over-fiber transmission. The utilization of the rich nonlinear dynamics of single-mode semiconductor lasers for these interesting applications is discussed in this paper.
