Abstract
Low-frequency fluctuations observed in the coherence collapse of semiconductor lasers are numerically investigated based on the Lang-Kobayashi model. It is found that the attractor in the compound cavity mode loses its stability due to a crisis with an antimode. Chaotic itinerancy among the destabilized compound cavity modes is also found.
