Abstract
Wavelength is used to induce optical nonlinearities and to generate chaos from a multielectrode wavelength tunable laser diode. Chaotic modulation of wavelength ruled by a nonlinear differential difference equation is demonstrated. The method offers a high flexibility, which should open the way to simple chaotic systems with complicated nonlinear functions.Keywords
