Abstract
We theoretically predict and experimentally demonstrate the phenomenon of frequency entrainment in optically injected semiconductor lasers. The laser exhibits nonlinear subharmonic and ultraharmonic resonances for appropriate values of its frequency detuning from the externally injected signal.Keywords
