2 WORKSHOP Les Houches - September 25, 26, 27st, 2001 2 Motivation Defining and Designing optical systems for all optical signal processing. (Fast all optical device (ns time scale) for optical telecommunication) (DWDM). Investigating stability of DL locked on a selective element Ability of locked laser to switch from one locked frequency to another one (switching time) Dynamics and chaos for diode laser with filtered optical feedback Frequency selective element introduce a non linearity in frequency that leads to new dynamics in frequency. Is FOF a way of controlling the chaos “complexity”, in restricting the “freedom” of the system ? Only combination of experimental and theoretical results (simulations) can distinguish noise from chaos. C.O.F  F.O.F Conventional Optical Feedback  Filtered Optical Feedback

6 WORKSHOP Les Houches - September 25, 26, 27st, 2001 6 Filter properties for a Fabry-Pérot interferometer The inverse of the resolution (  =c/2ef) of the Fabry- Perot filter define a delay  =1/ . Dynamics faster than  are smoothed and averaged The Fabry-Perot acts as a RC=  filter. The cavity (M1,M2) need to be “fulfilled” with multiple reflections.
