This tutorial presents a guided tour of laser feedback interferometry, from its origin and early
development through its implementation to a slew of sensing applications, including …

In this review, self‐mixing interferometry (SMI), a new configuration of interferometry, is
discussed. SMI has practical advantages compared to standard interferometry, for example …

In this chapter, we discuss the oscillation conditions for semiconductor lasers and, then,
derive the rate equations, which are the starting points of the study of chaotic dynamics in …

We review laser diode feedback interferometry as a general tool for sensing applications.
After outlining the basic principles and the theoretical approaches used to describe the …

We revisit the well-known Tkach and Chraplyvy (TC) diagram of feedback regimes in
semiconductor lasers. Our aim is twofold: first, extending the classification of feedback …

The progress on laser feedback interferometry technology is reviewed. Laser feedback
interferometry is a demonstration of interferometry technology applying a laser reflected from …

We present an overview of the applications of self-mixing interferometer (SMI) to tasks of
interest for mechanical engineering, namely high-resolution measurement of linear …

Self-mixing interferometry (SMI) is suitable to sense and measure vibrations of amplitudes
ranging from picometers to millimeters at frequencies from sub-Hz to MHz's. As an optical …

An instrument for noncontact measurement of differential vibrations is developed, based on
the self-mixing interferometer. As no reference arm is available in the self-mixing …

In this paper, we first introduce mutual and self-coupling and related phenomena in laser
diodes, and discuss how the chaos paradigm has been unveiled as a refinement of classical …
