Title: Chaotic dynamics and synchronization in microchip solid-state lasers with optoelectronic feedback
Abstract: We experimentally observe the dynamics of a two-mode $\mathrm{Nd}:\mathrm{Y}\mathrm{V}{\mathrm{O}}_{4}$ microchip solid-state laser with optoelectronic feedback. The total laser output is detected and fed back to the injection current of the laser diode for pumping. Chaotic oscillations are observed in the microchip laser with optoelectronic self-feedback. We also observe the dynamics of two microchip lasers coupled mutually with optoelectronic link. The output of one laser is detected by a photodiode and the electronic signal converted from the laser output is sent to the pumping of the other laser. Chaotic fluctuation of the laser output is observed when the relaxation oscillation frequency is close to each other between the two microchip lasers. Synchronization of periodic wave form is also obtained when the microchip lasers have a single-longitudinal mode.
