Semiconductor lasers with coherent forcing are expected to behave similarly to simple neuron models in response to external perturbations, as long as the physics describing them can be approximated by that of an overdamped pendulum with fluid torque. Beyond the validity range of this approximation, more complex features can be expected. We perform experiments and numerical simulations which show that the system can display resonator and integrator features depending on parameters and that multiple pulses can be emitted in response to larger perturbations.

We derive a simple model for a two transverse mode laser (that considers the TEM00 and TEM10 modes) in which an injected signal with the shape of the TEM10 mode but a frequency close to that of the TEM00 mode is injected.
We demonstrate experimentally that a broad area laser-like optical oscillator (a nondegenerate photorefractive oscillator) with structured injected signal displays two-phase patterns. The technique (G. J. de Valcarcel and K. Staliunas, Phys. Rev. Lett. (105), 054101 (2010)) consists in spatially modulating the injection, so that its phase alternates periodically between two opposite values, i.e. differing by pi
A novel design-friendly device called the transistor-injected dual doping quantum cascade laser (TI-D2QCL) with two different doping in each stack of a homogeneous superlattice is proposed. By adjusting the base-emitter bias Vbe of the bipolar transistor to supply electrons in the dual doping regions, charge quasi-neutrality can be achieved to generate different optical transitions in each cascading superlattice stack. These transitions are then stacked and amplified to contribute to a broad flat gain spectrum. Model calculations of a designed TI- D2QCL show that a broad flat gain spectrum ranging from 9.41um to 12.01um with a relative bandwidth of 0.24 can be obtained, indicating that the TI- D2QCL with dual doping pattern may open a new pathway to the appealing applications in both MIR and THz frequency ranges, from wideband optical generations to advanced frequency comb technologies.
We demonstrate an ultralow-noise microrod-resonator based laser that oscillates on the gain supplied by the stimulated Brillouin scattering optical nonlinearity. Microresonator Brillouin lasers are known to offer an outstanding frequency noise floor, which is limited by fundamental thermal fluctuations. Here, we show experimental evidence that thermal effects also dominate the close-to-carrier frequency fluctuations. The 6-mm diameter microrod resonator used in our experiments has a large optical mode area of ~100 {mu}m$^2$, and hence its 10 ms thermal time constant filters the close-to-carrier optical frequency noise. The result is an absolute laser linewidth of 240 Hz with a corresponding white-frequency noise floor of 0.1 Hz$^2$/Hz. We explain the steady-state performance of this laser by measurements of its operation state and of its mode detuning and lineshape. Our results highlight a mechanism for noise that is common to many microresonator devices due to the inherent coupling between intracavity power and mode frequency. We demonstrate the ability to reduce this noise through a feedback loop that stabilizes the intracavity power.
Random numbers are widely used for information security, cryptography, stochastic modeling, and quantum simulations. Key technical challenges for physical random number generation are speed and scalability. We demonstrate a method for ultrafast generation of hundreds of random bit streams in parallel with a single laser diode. Spatio-temporal interference of many lasing modes in a specially designed cavity is introduced as a scheme for greatly accelerated random bit generation. Spontaneous emission, caused by quantum fluctuations, produces stochastic noise that makes the bit streams unpredictable. We achieve a total bit rate of 250 terabits per second with off-line post-processing, which is more than two orders of magnitude higher than the current post-processing record. Our approach is robust, compact, and energy efficient with potential applications in secure communication and high-performance computation.
