Abstract This Review Article provides an overview of chaos in laser diodes by surveying
experimental achievements in the area and explaining the theory behind the phenomenon …

Fifty years after the invention of the laser diode, and forty years after the butterfly effect
signified the unpredictability of deterministic chaos, it is commonly believed that a laser …

Both the time-delay signature and the bandwidth of chaos have been investigated in four
schemes of chaos generation in vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). The results …

A novel dual-channel chaotic synchronization configuration is proposed. This system is
constructed on the basis of two unidirectionally coupled vertical-cavity surface-emitting …

We report on the manipulation of extreme events (EEs) in a slave spin-polarized vertical-
cavity surface-emitting laser (spin-VCSEL) subject to chaotic optical injection from a master …

Chaotic message encoding and decoding in unidirectionally coupled vertical-cavity surface-
emitting lasers (VCSELs) with polarization-preserved and polarization-selected optical …

Time-delay signature of chaos in mutually coupled vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers
subject to polarization rotated optical injection has been investigated experimentally …

We report on the dynamics of free-running and optically injected VCSELs. In particular, the
powerful measures including the 0-1 test for chaos and permutation entropy are used for …

Nonlinear dynamics of Vertical‐Cavity Surface‐Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) induced by optical
injection, optical feedback, current modulation and mutual coupling is reviewed. Due to the …

Time-delay (TD) signature concealment in a chaotic vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser
(VCSEL) is studied experimentally. The VCSEL is subject to variable optical polarization …
