Effect of negative gain suppression on the stability of laser diodes

Abstract
The stability of homogeneously pumped single‐section laser diodes is analyzed theoretically and it is found that under certain bias conditions negative gain suppression factor laser diodes (NGSFLDs) self‐pulsate. An analytical condition for self‐pulsation in homogeneously pumped single‐section laser diodes is derived. The dynamics of self‐pulsating NGSFLDs under direct modulation are analyzed and a quasiperiodic route to chaos is found.
